Spain After the Indignados/15M Movement explores how the
aftershocks of the 2007 Great Recession restructured Spain’s political
sphere and political imaginary. It brings together a representative
sample of Spain’s leading progressive voices, including two of the five
founding members of the Podemos party. The essays herein explore the
areas of economics, politics, ecology, social change, media, and
cultural politics in order to present a broad, critical account of
contemporary Spain, with a special emphasis on emerging forms of
sociopolitical contestation, self-organizing, democratic participation,
and radical politics. The edited volume argues that Spanish cultural
studies—which originally gravitated toward celebratory accounts of
capitalist modernization, the cultural Movida and the advent of a
postmodern Spain—must continue to build a new cultural politics that not
only challenges the accepted narrative of the Spanish Transition to
democracy, but that is committed to confronting the civilizatory
challenges currently faced.
