The Gran Teatre Del Liceu in Catalan Culture The Gran Teatre del Liceu in Catalan Culture: History, Representation and Myth Charlie Allwood Submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy 1 This thesis examines the position of Barcelona’s Gran Teatre del Liceu within Barcelona’s cultural lanscapeas a means of exploring its modern-day role as one of Europe’s most important opera houses. Other studies of the Liceu have provided extensive historical narratives, but have rarely considered any kind of sociological or cultural theory when analysing the theatre’s role in the city. Chapter 1 explores the Liceu in Spanish and Catalan literature and dramaturgy and questions its role as a representative of upper-class Barcelona culture, and the changes this role has undergone over the course of Spain’s transition to democracy. The Liceu’s location in the adjacent Raval district is examined in Chapter 2: the area has undergone considerable physical and demographic changes over the last decades, and the opera house’s relationship to this area and the larger Barcelona context is discussed in some detail. The third chapter contextualises the Liceu within the wider Catalan cultural panorama and examines the impact of the recession in Spain, which has greatly affected cultural spending, and consequently the theatre’s programme. This problem has been aggravated by an awkward, opaque system of management; the thesis provides examples and analysis of the difficulties the theatre experienced between 2010 and 2013. The final chapter seeks to underline the efforts of the artistic direction to make the Liceu a referent of modern European operatic productions, with three case studies of stagings that represent modern interpretations of opera by contemporary Catalan directors. These works have been chosen as representative of the Liceu’s determined modernisation of the operatic spectacle and of its commitment to local artists. The thesis aims to present a more critical view of Barcelona’s opera house that goes beyond chronological narrative and anecdote in depicting the modern-day situation of the institution and its place in the Barcelona context. 2 TABLE OF CONTENTS TABLE OF CONTENTS ....................................................................................................................3 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

  • The Inclusion of the Libraries of Barcelona in the Cultural 'Map'
    Date : 08/07/2008 The inclusion of the Libraries of Barcelona in the cultural ‘map’, or how to turn a need into a virtue. Marta Clari, Executive Director, Institut de Cultura de Barcelona Mercè Muñoz Technical Secretary, Biblioteques de Barcelona ([email protected]) Meeting: 149. Metropolitan Libraries with Public Libraries Simultaneous Interpretation: Not available WORLD LIBRARY AND INFORMATION CONGRESS: 74TH IFLA GENERAL CONFERENCE AND COUNCIL 10-14 August 2008, Québec, Canada http://www.ifla.org/IV/ifla74/index.htm A few days after receiving the invitation to present the Libraries of Barcelona in this forum, the result was published of a survey carried out annually by the City Council of Barcelona to rate the degree of satisfaction of the citizens with regard to the public services provided by the municipality: the public libraries took the top spot in the survey, being the most highly rated service by the citizens of Barcelona. Objectively this is good news, but it is even more so if you take into account the situation of the public libraries of the city just 15 years ago. So as to be able to understand what has happened in the last 15 years, it is necessary to know briefly their history, for without knowing it, it is difficult to understand how a major cosmopolitan city, capital of a culture with a thousand year tradition, with the capacity of organising the successful Olympic Games of 1992, to quote a reference that gave the city international recognition, still in that year didn’t have a plan for its system of public libraries, and moreoverto attend a population of more than 1,600,000 inhabitants there was only 6,650 m2 of public library spaces, divided between 15 facilities (in some cases small libraries of less than 200 m2).

  • Nsfer // 2011 II
    06 transfer // 2011 II MartÍ PEraN & GErarD VIlar Art and Aesthetics A conversation on Catalan aesthetic thought The history of aesthetic thought is one of the most glaring gaps in Catalan historiography. The fact that there is no strong tradition in this field makes things even harder. However, although our contribution clearly derives from other contexts, this does not stop one getting an idea of the kind of literature that has accompanied modern and contemporary artistic output. A great deal of data needs to be weighed in pursuing the subject. The following conversation is simply an informal way of raising various themes, which may be explored or altered later on. ➔ Martí Peran: Gerard, I suggest we conduct this interview-cum-conversation in a very informal way, without following any kind of order so that themes can be discussed as they crop up. With this in mind, before mentioning names and local traditions, perhaps it would be worth commenting on where aesthetic reflection is currently to be found. I believe that in addition to conventional essays (published books, etc.), contemporary aesthetic thought is waxing in fields such as artistic and literary criticism and indeed in all literatures. Of course, this has a lot to do with the way Mamadou, Miquel Barceló (nov 2009) Mixed media on cardboard, 65 x 50 cm 112/113 II Art AND AESthETICS. A CONVERSatION ON CatalaN AESthETIC thOUght modern heterodoxy has displaced culture from centre stage. In any case, I think it important to ask to what extent aesthetic thought should respect historic patterns. - Gerard Vilar: It is true that many new forums for aesthetic discourse have sprung up over the last twenty years, while some of the old ones have been abandoned.

  • Autora: Montserrat Garcia Marco Tutora: Míriam Villares Junyent
    LA PLAÇA DE LES GLÒRIES: UNA NOVA FORMA, UNA NOVA OPORTUNITAT...? Autora: Montserrat Garcia Marco Tutora: Míriam Villares Junyent RESUM Actualment a la ciutat de Barcelona i en concret en un dels seus emplaçaments històrics, la Plaça de les Glòries, s’està produint una interessant transformació urbanística, que finalment, ha de dotar aquest espai urbà d’una nova centralitat. Aquesta tesina té com objectiu analitzar com la Modificació del Pla General Metropolità (1976) a l’entorn de la Plaça de les Glòries es materialitzarà en una transformació de la Plaça que l’ha de portar de l’antic node viari que havia estat fins ara; cap a un nou node de centralitat que dinamitzarà, a diferents nivells, la reconversió profunda del sector llevant de la ciutat. Per això s’han analitzat des d’una vessant històrica els diferents impactes urbanístics, sobre la mobilitat, sobre l’entorn social i econòmic, que la Plaça ha produït a través de les seves diferents formes i funcions. Aquests impactes es contrasten amb les oportunitats que s’obren en aquest procés iniciat amb la Modificació del PGM76. El treball parteix d’una recopilació inicial de la documentació referent als diferents processos de planificació urbana que ha deixat petja sobre la Plaça, així com aquells específics corresponents a la concreció de la mateixa. El Projecte de Reforma i Eixample de Barcelona de l’any 1859 d’Ildefons Cerdà planteja una estructura de creixement excèntrica respecte a l’estructura existent, que suposa desplaçar el centre de gravetat de la ciutat cap a la Plaça de les Glòries, d’on neixen les tres grans artèries viaries que travessen la ciutat: la Gran Via, la Diagonal i la Meridiana.

  • Catalan Modernism and Vexillology
    Catalan Modernism and Vexillology Sebastià Herreros i Agüí Abstract Modernism (Modern Style, Modernisme, or Art Nouveau) was an artistic and cultural movement which flourished in Europe roughly between 1880 and 1915. In Catalonia, because this era coincided with movements for autonomy and independence and the growth of a rich bourgeoisie, Modernism developed in a special way. Differing from the form in other countries, in Catalonia works in the Modern Style included many symbolic elements reflecting the Catalan nationalism of their creators. This paper, which follows Wladyslaw Serwatowski’s 20 ICV presentation on Antoni Gaudí as a vexillographer, studies other Modernist artists and their flag-related works. Lluís Domènech i Montaner, Josep Puig i Cadafalch, Josep Llimona, Miquel Blay, Alexandre de Riquer, Apel·les Mestres, Antoni Maria Gallissà, Joan Maragall, Josep Maria Jujol, Lluís Masriera, Lluís Millet, and others were masters in many artistic disciplines: Architecture, Sculpture, Jewelry, Poetry, Music, Sigillography, Bookplates, etc. and also, perhaps unconsciously, Vexillography. This paper highlights several flags and banners of unusual quality and national significance: Unió Catalanista, Sant Lluc, CADCI, Catalans d’Amèrica, Ripoll, Orfeó Català, Esbart Català de Dansaires, and some gonfalons and flags from choral groups and sometent (armed civil groups).

  • Obsesión Definición: Idea, Deseo O Imagen Que Aparece De Forma Reiterada Y Persistente Y Que El Sujeto No Puede Alejar Voluntariamente De La Conciencia
    obsesión Definición: idea, deseo o imagen que aparece de forma reiterada y persistente y que el sujeto no puede alejar voluntariamente de la conciencia. Posee un carácter compulsivo y adquiere una con- dición penosa y angustiante. (Diccionario María Moliner) La obsesión es un pensamiento, una imagen o un impulso incontrolable y persistente que invade nuestra mente por la fuerza; nos asedia, nos angus- tia, nos aísla y nos paraliza. En un intento de aliviar la intensa ansiedad que causan estas ideas intrusas, los afectados a menudo recurren a actos, tan improductivos como irresisti- bles, o rituales compulsivos —por ejemplo, repetir palabras o números, rezar de forma desconsolada, lavarse las manos sin parar, comprobar una y otra vez si las puertas están cerradas u ordenar con meti- culosidad durante horas los objetos que les rodean. Las obsesiones y comportamientos repetitivos que adoptan quienes los sufren para calmar la ansie- dad, absorben su atención, perturban el equilibrio mental, interfieren en sus ocupaciones y relaciones, consumen su energía vital y, a la larga, socavan su bienestar físico, psicológico y social. En medicina y psicología clínica, la obsesión crónica que causa intensa angustia y altera seriamente las actividades diarias de la persona se cataloga como trastorno de ansiedad obsesivo-compulsivo. En la actualidad se desconoce la causa exacta de dicho trastorno. La teoría más aceptada considera que es consecuencia de una mezcla del equipaje gené- tico, la personalidad, el medio social y los efectos de experiencias traumáticas.

    THE MODERNIST MOVEMENT MODERNIST ARCHITECTURE MODERNISMIN ARCHITECTURE AND THE INDUSTRIAL ARTS AND, CONSEQUENTLY, IN DESIGN, CAN BE CONSIDERED THE MOST IMPORTANT ARTISTIC MOVEMENT IN MODERN CATALAN CULTURE. THE MODERNIST MOVEMENT are not only important as architects but also for their extensive humanistic training. Although Gaudí had the same training, his circumstances were very dif- ferent from those of the others. Our study of this architectural movement must be seen as a debate with the central idea of Gaudí, of whom we spoke in the odernism in architecture and the first issue of this magazine, as a count- sought with faith and courage and industrial arts and, consequently, erpoint to the other two architects, without renouncing the past.
