Re: the language issue at ET: (none / 0)

Come on Migeru..there was no other city more hot than Madrid in the 80´s....You (and me from the distance) could proudly feel madrileño by then....now Salamanca (neighborhood) rules...it is like if Sarria would rule in Barcelona.. it blows my mind...

A pleasure

I therefore claim to show, not how men think in myths, but how myths operate in men's minds without their being aware of the fact. Levi-Strauss, Claude

Re: the language issue at ET: (none / 0)

I have to say, from the point of view of city planning barcelona has always been light-years ahead of Madrid. This is entirely because Madrid was the capital so it was full of all the rancid idiots running the Spanish government up to 1977 (with two brief Republican intermissions, that is).

guaranteed to evoke a violent reaction from police is to challenge their right to "define the situation." --- David Graeber citing Marc Cooper
