Evitar la politización de la inmigración: equilibrios frágiles y debilidad de los actores
(La Catarata: Madrid, 2013-01-22) Martín Pérez, Alberto; Martín Coppola, Eva
En las elecciones municipales de 2003 emerge en Cataluña, de forma relativamente silenciosa, una formación política con un programa hostil a la inmigración: Plataforma per Catalunya (PxC). El partido, encabezado por Josep Anglada, antiguo militante de Fuerza Nueva, se hace un hueco en algunos ayuntamientos de municipios que se encuentran recibiendo un creciente flujo de inmigrantes, como Vic y Manlleu, en Barcelona, y El Vendrell, en Tarragona.
Dealing with Loopholes in National and EU Citizenship: Spanish Nationality in the Case of Western Sahara
(Brill, Leiden, 2014-01-01) Martín Pérez, Alberto; Moreno Fuentes, Francisco Javier
This chapter explores the potentially fuzzy boundaries of the concept of European citizenship, and its deep interconnection with the nationality legislations of the European Union (EU) Member States. The complexity and plurality of these national regulations involves an extremely wide range of procedures, mecha- nisms and conditions for obtaining derivatively the status of EU citizen. Embedded within this plurality, several inequalities between legislations (and some loopholes) also appear to exist, making EU citizenship a potentially incon- sistent concept, particularly at the outer limits of national belonging. In order to illustrate this issue, which affects the very notion of EU citizenship, we shall review the issue of the loose boundaries of Spanish nationality law, focusing spe- cifically on the status of its regulatory framework regarding Western Sahara. This former Spanish colony, whose political status over the last four decades, following the termination of Spanish control over the territory, has undergone an incom- plete and conflictive process of redefinition.
Emotional Alliances in Bureaucratic Encounters
(Routledge, London, 2015-03-24) Martín Pérez, Alberto
Based on research on face-to-face encounters in bureaucratic organizations, this chapter explores paths to unearthing emotions and their role in formal interactions. I studied different public offices in Spain at two points in time. In 2004–5 I focused on several immigration offices and a police station. In 2009–10 I did research on the encounters between clients and civil servants in social security offices. In the following text I retrace the moment I noticed that emotions were circulating between individuals engaged in bureaucratic encounters. I realized that emotion management was a key issue for the understanding of interactions as they were strongly embedded in emotions. This insight—once I engaged reflexivity to notice and interpret my own emotions, since these presented themselves during the scenes I observed—generated a plethora of novel observations during my fieldwork. This contribution recounts some key points of this process.
Introduction: New Perspectives for the Sociology of the Arts
(Palgrave Macmillan, 2023) Rodríguez Morató, Arturo
Rodríguez Morató offers a complete overview of the sociology of the arts in its present state, focused on its most innovative developments. This presentation shows how the field of the sociology of the arts has been shaped in recent decades—through successive renovations, to reaching full maturity. It also clarifies the nature of the new stage in which the discipline currently finds itself, characterised by its effervescent theoretical creativity and empirical expansion. The discussion on the current state of the field is complemented with a presentation of new areas and focus of interest (globalisation, materiality, evaluation or creativity, among others), which provides a broad vision of the potential of this specialism. Finally, Rodríguez Morató reflects on the desirable horizon of future development for this discipline.
Critical factors in shaping the parameters of cultural valuation in Europe
(Routledge, 2025) Rodríguez Morató, Arturo; Zarlenga, Matías I; Alexander, Victoria D.; Peterson Gilbert, Oliver
This chapter explores different factors that have influenced the shaping of cultural values in Europe. It addresses and explores five critical factors identified in the project considered relevant to this constitution, namely rising diversity, globalization and digitization, urban transformations, the development of cultural policy, and neoliberalism. Through this explorative exercise, the chapter provides a baseline reference for the whole UNCHARTED project and shows how the parameters of cultural valuation are constructed in European societies today according to existing knowledge and information. At the end of the chapter, a series of coordinates for the valuation of culture are identified, which operate as a general context for the situated valuation of actors within the cultural sphere and in its various functional areas (cultural participation, cultural production and heritage management, and cultural administration).
Introduction
(Routledge, 2025) Rodríguez Morató, Arturo
This chapter presents the problem of valuing culture as a major social challenge for today’s European societies, which the UNCHARTED project sought to address in depth. This book summarizes the results of this project. To begin, the project is contextualized in relation to three classic views on this issue: those of David Throsby, Pierre Bourdieu, and John Holden. In contrast to these, the project then defines its own approach, which is pragmatic, based on a pluralistic view of value and a complex view of the dynamics of valuation, as well as being purely empirical and aimed at producing useful results for improving cultural management and policy. The logic of the project and its development are then explained. Finally, the organization of the book is described, the contents of the various chapters are outlined, and future challenges for continuing work in this area are identified.
The challenges of recalibrating the values of culture in the cultural field : Key recommendations
(Routledge, 2025) Audemard, Julien; Dupin-Meynard, Félix; Négrier, Emmanuel; Rodríguez Morató, Arturo; Zarlenga, Matías I
This chapter presents key recommendations for recalibrating cultural policies in Europe. It identifies five significant challenges: acknowledging the plurality of cultural values, fostering democratic governance, enhancing policy coherence, improving evaluation practices, and developing relevant cultural information systems. We argue that public policies often fail to reflect the values citizens associate with culture, such as well-being or community engagement. Recommendations include fostering transparent debates on cultural values, promoting inclusive and context-sensitive governance, aligning policy instruments with stated values, and adopting flexible, co-created evaluation methods. The chapter also emphasizes the importance of data systems that take into account diverse cultural expressions and evolving social dynamics. Ultimately, we advocate for a multi-level participatory approach that connects institutions, professionals, and communities, making cultural value a foundation for democratic and inclusive policymaking across Europe.
New value perspectives in culture-led urban regeneration
(Routledge, 2025) Rodríguez Morató, Arturo; Sánchez Belando, Victoria; Zamorano, Mariano; Zarlenga, Matías I.
Until now, culture-led urban regeneration initiatives have been conceived and evaluated mainly according to neoliberal parameters linked to economic value. We wanted to show the importance of approaching this issue from a different angle, that offered by the UNCHARTED framework and its pluralistic view of cultural values, outlining an alternative meaning of culture-led organic regeneration. To this end, we examined the case of the Fàbriques de Creació (Creation Factories) programme in Barcelona, which we analysed in the context of the long history of culture-led urban regeneration in Barcelona and in contrast to two other control cases, one in Budapest and the other in Porto. This chapter reports on this work and the methodological reflections that followed. It then presents a series of recommendations for improving the evaluation of urban cultural regeneration initiatives. Finally, it concludes with the assessments of some leading experts in the field on the new perspective generated.
Digital cultural policy in Spain: the game of emulation
(Routledge, 2023) Rodríguez Morató, Arturo; Guirao Soro, Glòria
The development of digital cultural policy in Spain started relatively late but has accelerated in recent years. This chapter presents an analysis of the different phases of the Spanish development of digital cultural policy based on varied sources, including legal and policy documents, research literature, expert reports and interviews with relevant stakeholders. It shows how, in Spain, general digital policies precede digital policies specific for culture, are imposed on them and greatly determine them. This is the result of the important influence of EU policies nationally and of the dynamics of interaction between policy initiatives at various territorial levels within the country. The video games sector is presented as an example of the interplay of policies focusing on digital culture at different administration levels in Spain (regional, national) and beyond (European).

Basic Income Experiments. A Critical Examination of Their Goals, Contexts, and Methods
(Palgrave Macmillan-Springer Nature, 2022) Lain Escandell, Bru
This book brings together insights and reflections following a set of interviews conducted with the main stakeholders involved in past, current, and future basic income experiments. It provides an analysis of some of the major elements and factors influencing experiments, as well of some of their most important outputs understood as results of their own experimental design, their sociological and political basis, and the epistemological status of their results.
Fer familia sense parella
(Copalqui Editorial, 2008) Almeda, Elisabet; Di Nella, Dino; Camps Calvet, Clara
El progressiu increment en el nombre de famílies monoparentals a Europa en les darreres dècades ha suscitat un gran interès científic des de diferents perspectives socials, per bé que en la majoria dels estudis i recerques duts a terme no s’acaba d’analitzar amb profunditat la diversitat i l’heterogeneïtat en el sí d’aquesta modalitat familiar d’un sol progenitor amb els seus fills o filles a càrrec.

La gestión neoliberal de la crisis: la represión de la protesta como mecanismo imprescindible
(Icària Editorial, 2015) Camps Calvet, Clara; García Berrio, Andrés
En este capítulo presentamos una reflexión sobre la represión de la protesta mediante el análisis de lo que ha pasado en Cataluña y, más en concreto, en la ciudad de Barcelona. Una ciudad que en la actualidad y, a lo largo de su historia, ha mostrado una gran capacidad de lucha y resistencia ante situaciones de injusticia y desigualdad. Este texto es fruto de la experiencia militante y activista de sus dos autores en los movimientos sociales en contra de los recortes de los derechos sociales y de las libertades (...).
Pobreza y dependencia de la asistencia social. Un estudio de caso sobre la Renta Mínima de Inserción
(Copalqui Editorial, 2011) Camps Calvet, Clara
Una nueva pobreza se expande por Europa en estas últimas décadas. La vulnerabilidad y exclusión social, fruto de un mercado laboral más precarizado y dualizado, aumenta. Las estructuras familiares y redes sociales en España se transforman dejando un vacío de protección que la política social no termina de llenar. Las políticas de erradicación de la pobreza ponen el acento en la autonomía y dan respuesta al problema de la pobreza mediante la activación laboral y, en algunos casos, plantean la inserción social (...).
L'aprenentatge competencial i l'ABP a l'educació superior: impactes i valoracions des de l'experiència de l'alumnat de sociologia
(Ediciones OCTAEDRO, S.L., 2024-12-30) Cano-Hila, Ana Belén; Berrens, Karla
This paper examines the potential and limitations of Problem Based Learning (PBL) methodology which has been applied, for the second year (2023-2024), to BA Sociology students in the University of Barcelona within the INNDOC “Problem Based Learning for urban sociology” educative innovation program. PBL is a methodology presenting realistic case studies to solve problems that have an open solution. The student, through some reading and guided questions, is encouraged to solve the problem presented in the way they see best. This methodology bridges a gap between the theory seen in the BA and the reality of what can be a future demand in a job. In this paper, we focus on the student’s experience with this methodology. We evaluate the outcome of this implementation through student feedback gathered at the end of the implementation through a questionnaire and an additional focus group. We conclude by noting that students value the methodology positively because of four main points: a) the relationship it fosters between theory and practice; b) working on case studies with real situations; c) the teachers as guides; d) time to work autonomously in the classroom. They also see limitations in this implementation, and those are: a) this activity requires a bigger effort than others; b) a sense of insecurity because of their lack of previous experience.
El aprendizaje basado en problemas como metodología en la asignatura de Sociología Urbana. Análisis y reflexión de una innovación docente
(Dykinson S.L., 2024-10-01) Berrens, Karla; Cano-Hila, Ana Belén
This paper examines the first phase for the implementation of the INNDOC “Problem based learning in urban sociology” (ABP) program for third year BA Sociology students (academic year 2022-2023). This innovation takes place in the Urban Sociology subject which is a compulsory course for third year students. This methodology innovates presenting three ‘real life problems’ of situations in Barcelona having an open resolution, though guided by the theory reviewed during the course and obligatory readings from each case. In addition, this methodology develops a formative process in which students have the agency to decide which problem to solve (from three options) and how they want to orient the solution. This methodology enables acquiring skills for ‘work life’ situations which enables students to imagine some future career path possibilities, very necessary for our Sociology BA. This paper presents the innovation, the day-to-day implementation and the feedback received from our students on this methodology.
Responsabilidad parental y monoparentalidad: análisis sociojurídico
