'ANDANDO SE HACE EL CAMINO - DataSpace - Princeton University

In this way, my research is in line with the burgeoning field of urban studies,
but it offers a different perspective by illuminating the relationship between the urban
street and the dissident urban character in terms of new formative practices and
resistant attitudes that will call for new disciplinary discourses, all of which is initiated
and dynamically developed by the characters’ movements through the urban space.
Additionally, I explore how the texts under study become symbolic spaces for
a discussion of Spanish society in terms of power, oppression and submission, but also
resistance, deviation, and protest, and how the writers use both the central and the
marginal street as the stage where social, political and economic tensions and
concerns are expressed, debated, or fought over.
