This unusual combination has been forged over the many years of the mountain’s history. The world of business unfolds at its feet, with the dynamic activities of the Port of Barcelona and the Fira de Barcelona exhibition and trade fair centre. The cultural world is represented by a wide range of facilities – museums, theatres, art education centres – which also play host to top-level international events. The sporting facet of Montjuïc is evident in the Olympic Ring facilities and other infrastructures where professionals and amateurs take part in more than a dozen types of sport.

  • 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).

It is an exceptional moment that is connected with the artistic life of the City, which links with what happens the rest of the year, which serves as a window to show everything that has been cooking and that dialogues with its talent, with its citi- zens and with your questions. We are committed to creating a model that is attractive not only for its -necessary- rooster of invited figures, but also for the artistic value, for a set of national and international alliances and for its rigor and coherence. For us it will be a priority to weave relationships with all those artists, festivals or artistic events that are offering a possible response of interest to those relevant topics that we are all concerned about.

  • 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.

It must also be said however that all too often the Games are seen as a mere instrument, an event which enabled the city to expand its tourist capacity, a media event which placed Barcelona on the map and led to it becoming one of Europe’s, and therefore the world’s, main tourist destinations , as it is now, ten years later.
