The Hidden Side of the Creative City: Culture Instrumentalization, Political Control and Social Reproduction in Valencia

Rius-Ulldemolins, Joaquim; Rubio-Arostegui, Juan Arturo; Gisbert-Gracia, Verònica

This book analyses issues related to the political use and economical misappropriation of urban cultural events, cultural infrastructures, public resources, and cultural traditions in the city of Valencia, Spain. It deals critically with a variety of sociological questions related to cultural production in the city, including geographical segregation as culturally defined in the city; misogyny and the peripheral role of women in traditional cultural events, xenophobia; and nationalism/regionalism.

As such, the book will be useful to students and scholars of sociology of the arts, cultural policy, and museum management, and urban sociology.
