Summary:

"The Moderns offers a radically new account of the rich and varied culture of contemporary Spain. It focuses on three intellectuals who chronicle contemporary life; three filmmakers who engage with the many nationalisms of the Spanish state; and three crucial topics that are expressed in many media (the replaying of history, the rise and fall of the city, and the practice of everyday life). This book is also the first to draw on theorists of the intellectual field, the production of space, and the arts of bricolage (Pierre Bourdieu, Henri Lefebvre, and Michel de Certeau)."--Jacket.
