Description: Barcelona: Ajuntament de Barcelona, Lunwerg, 2013. 29cm., pbk., 302pp. illus. Exhibition held at La Virreina, Barcelona. Spanish-English text. Summary: Visual culture allows for the analysis of how the social sphere is constructed by means of the representations that are diffused through the circulation of images. The photographic image, promiscuous in its interchangeability and impure in the relationship it maintains regarding the traditions of high culture versus low, is the central element in the invention of that imagery that adheres to it as an identification —adopting official culture as its own— or confronting it through various manners of resistance and escape —generating subcultures—. Gathered in this volume is the visual and photographic culture of Barcelona during the last decade, not as a canon or as a definitive solution, put as a space of enquiry: Is it possible to speak of a visual identity in Barcelona? Is it possible to speak of a different way of looking through the local practices of photography, so as to determine the nature of an equally different series of representations that are held in common?.
