It explores culturally-charged landscapes that effectively convey the zeitgeist and reveal deep-rooted anxieties about issues such as globalization, consumerism, immigration, speculation, precarity, and political resistance (particularly by Indignados [Indignant Ones] from the 15-M movement). The book loosely traces the trajectory of the crisis, with the first part looking at texts that underscore some of the behaviors that indirectly contributed to the crisis, and the remaining chapters focusing on works that directly examine the crisis and its aftermath. This close reading of texts and films by Ray Loriga, Elia BarceloÌ, Ion de Sosa, JoseÌ Ardillo, David Llorente, Eduardo Vaquerizo, and Ricardo MeneÌndez SalmoÌn offers insights into the creative ways that these authors and directors use spatial constructions to capture the dystopian imagination. 650 0 $a Spanish literature $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Dystopias in literature. 650 0 $a Motion pictures $z Spain $x History. 650 0 $a Dystopian films. 830 0 $a Hispanic urban studies. 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20190202011845.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=57B16E72F79311E8BA923B1497128E48 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
