Re: <nettime> Barcelona: nationalism, municipalism?

hey,

this is not exactly an 'answer'; but I think it might be helpful for mapping the territory around this particular question a bit.
it´s two articles from Raul Zelik, who has will soon also publish a book around the complex territory of current day political 'history' in Spain ('Spanien – eine politische Geschichte der Gegenwart' / 'Spain – a contemporary political history'). I think he is one of the most apt political analysts on the spanish speaking world publishing in german.

– sorry I can´t translate or recap this for the list; but currently I am in some very special circumstances. but maybe if someone finds this valuable, she/he can recap this in english for the broader nettime public.

Like many, I watched incredulously as Spanish police beat up Catalan
voters yesterday and I kept wondering what this rising tension does to
the project of rebel municipalism. Is it being squeezed between the
nationalisms? Or can thrive within it? What's happening.
