Condition: New. Idioma/Language: Español. Entre marzo y junio de 2020, la vida en las ciudades cambió. El decreto del estado de alarma en respuesta a la crisis de salud pública provocada por la COVID-19 nos encerró en nuestros hogares y las ciudades enmudecieron, sin coches, sin desplazamientos, sin apenas ajetreo. ¿Se apagaron las ciudades al tiempo que nos recogíamos en nuestras casas? Basado en una investigación en antropología y epidemiología social sobre el impacto de la pandemia en la ciudad de Madrid, Historia ilustrada del confinamiento nos acerca a las respuestas comunitarias que transformaron nuestras ciudades durante los primeros meses de la pandemia. Historias de solidaridad barrial y experimentación vecinal sobre un urbanismo impredecible, que permitió a algunas comunidades esquivar el destino fatal al que les abocaba el virus. Historias que narran una forma de ser ciudad más allá de la ciudad. *** Nota: Los envíos a España peninsular, Baleares y Canarias se realizan a través de mensajería urgente.

By the late 1990s, digital activists embraced a philosophy of free software and "free culture" in order to take control over their cities and everyday lives. Free culture, previously tethered to the digital realm, was cut loose and used to reclaim and resculpt the city. In Madrid the effects were dramatic. Common sights in the city were abandoned as industrial factories turned into autonomous social centers, urban orchards, guerrilla architectural camps, or community hacklabs. Drawing on two decades of ethnographic and historical work with free culture collectives in Madrid, Free Culture and the City shows how, in its journey from the digital to the urban, the practice of liberating culture required the mobilization of, and alliances between, public art centers, neighborhood associations, squatted social centers, hackers, intellectual property lawyers, street artists, guerrilla architectural collectives, and Occupy assemblies.…
