My current book-in-progress deals with public everyday space in Spanish cities, particularly in the contemporary period. Looking at urban phenomena, such as gentrification, mass tourism, ruins, artistic movements, architecture, civic regulations, I analyze how we (as cultural agents, urban dwellers, tourists, immigrants, government officials, artists, and activists) use our urban milieu to construct our ideas and practices regarding social identity, history, and political potential.
