It does so by examining political speeches and scripts of the 1992 Barcelona Olympic Games ceremonies, with special focus on Xavier Rubert de Ventós's screenplay for the reception of the flame in Empúries; the urban renewal of Barcelona directed by architect Oriol Bohigas; and fictional narratives by Quim Monzó, Francisco Casavella, Eduardo Mendoza, and Sergi Pàmies Notes Title from publishers bibliographic system (viewed on 11 Apr 2014) Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index SUBJECT Olympic Games (25th : 1992 : Barcelona, Spain) -- Infuence Olympic Games fast Subject City planning -- Political aspects -- Spain -- Barcelona Urban renewal -- Spain -- Barcelona -- History -- 21st century SOCIAL SCIENCE -- Sociology -- Urban.
