Course Title:
Past and Present in Barcelona (English)
Course Number:
HIST 3002
Course Description:
Barcelona is an attractive European and Mediterranean city known by its rich history and art heritage and by its
welcoming attitude towards visitors. This course is an interdisciplinary approach to the history of the city from its
foundation up to the present day. Course content includes history, politics and urban planning. Barcelona’s
historical development is analyzed using a wide range of visual and written material: from historical maps,
photos, videos, documentaries, to historical documents, academic and literary texts. By means of frequent onsite classes, this course will scrutinize how current political and socio-economic phenomena (massive tourism,
gentrification, the real state bubble, immigration, the heritage of Franco’s fascist dictatorship, and the tense
power relations between Catalonia and Spain) collectively shape the present-day reality of the city.
