Living gentrification and touristification from inside: An autoethnography account
Autoethnography is a useful yet little-explored tool for understanding complex social phenomena such as the touristification or gentrification of cities. The autoethnography presented here is also based on two previous works by the author, as well as on statistical data that support the analysis conducted. Through everyday life in the neighbourhood, the gradual process of converting a poor and multicultural urban space into a commodity for global…
Disvalor, colonialismos y producción de ruralidades energéticas en la era del colapso
Muchas áreas rurales españoles están acogiendo en los últimos años cientos de centrales de producción de energías renovables, teorícamente para contribuir a la descarbonización de la economía. Esta producción de ruralidades energéticas se realiza no sin oposición ciudadana sobre todo por motivos ambientales, de protección del paisaje y de la salud humana, puesto que se trata de instalaciones con afecciones a tener en cuenta. En este trabajo se an…
Kindling Change: Shaping a New Fire Culture in Mediterranean socioenvironmental systems from the roots
In line with global trends, the Valencian Region (Spain) is experiencing increasingly extreme wildfires, exacerbated by entangled socioenvironmental factors like climate change, the human-nature dichotomy, and wildfires managed basically through technocratic approaches. Rural grassroots movements are emerging amid worsening wildfires, advocating for local agency to build socioenvironmental resilience in wildfire-prone territories. Inspired by the…
Cambio climático, movilidad y transporte en una ciudad capital verde europea
Valencia, la tercera ciudad y área metropolitana española, emprendió con el cambio de gobierno de 2015 una ambiciosa política hacia modelos de movilidad urbana sostenible como estrategia de adaptación y mitigación del cambio climático en un territorio como el valenciano especialmente afectado por ese fenómeno. Los problemas continuos de tráfico, un centro histórico en crisis y un transporte público metropolitano con grandes lagunas de servicios m…
Historias de quienes no aparecen en la historia. Reflexiones y narrativas sobre turismo rural a partir de un proyecto de museo comunitario en Mas Blanco (Aragón, España)
Tradicionalmente, las narrativas construidas en torno al patrimonio cultural material e inmaterial, en cuanto oferta turística en el ámbito rural, se han centrado en destacar la figura de personajes poderosos, normalmente hombres blancos y de clases altas, y en valorizar aquellos edificios más notables, dejando en segundo plano otros casos de patrimonio vinculados a las clases populares u obreras. Partiendo de la base de que el turismo rural es u…
Touristification, Sharing Economies and the New Geography of Urban Conflicts
The aim of this study was to address the highly controversial problem of the increasing touristification of urban centers, analyzing the case of Valencia. The paper begins with a theoretical reflection to disambiguate the term “sharing economy”, the emergence of all kinds of digital service platforms that are revolutionizing traditional economic sectors of services, such as transport, tourist accommodation, or personal services. The new geography…
From Nimbysm to the 15M: A Decade of Urban Conflicts in Barcelona and Valencia
The first decade of the 21st century was a period of economic and demographic expansion and impressive urban development in Spain's big cities, including Barcelona and Valencia. This growth came along with a great effort to develop new territorial, sectoral and urban plans which would direct it, but which were not always successful. Nevertheless, these planning endeavors were not without critiques from social agents. In fact, throughout that deca…
Le Conte de deux cités 1: Analyse comparative des conflits urbains de Montréal et Valence, 1995–2010
Les processus de métropolisation à l’œuvre dans les sociétés contemporaines provoquent des restructurations territoriales qui rencontrent souvent une forte opposition de la part d’une multitude d’acteurs évoluant sur la scène urbaine. Si l’activité conflictuelle suscite l’intérêt de chercheurs depuis plusieurs décennies, l’analyse géographique des conflits urbains en tant que processus socio‐spatiaux est plus récente. Cependant, la recherche sur …
