As part of the larger discussion about the persistent and worldwide problem of access to adequate housing, I examine in this article the effects of government-led rehousing efforts in Lisbon, Portugal, through the lens of filmic representations of those effects. Specifically, I look at how residents of both the self-built neighbourhoods (demolished or soon-to-be) and public housing responded to the Projeto Especial de Realojamento through an analysis of two films, the documentary Outros Bairros and the fictional short film Nada Fazi , which represent a sort of ‘before and after’ of those government efforts. The residents’ voices and stories are compared to each other and set against a backdrop of journalistic reporting and sociological studies.

Since the late 2000s, creators of cultural products have imagined a future Catalonia with its independent institutions as the result of a collective effort driven by the citizens, rather than just the elites. In this article, I posit that the representation of the Catalan republic as benign, horizontal and modern shows tensions and omissions in aspects such as coercion, economic freedom, social protection, bureaucracy, language policies and the handling of immigration. This articulation is exemplified in the journalistic fiction Crònica de la independència (2009) by Patrícia Gabancho, the documentary L’endemà (2014a) by Isona Passola and the essay La República possible (2017) by Antonio Baños. The unproblematic and contradictory depiction of the state reveals latent fears derived from the historical difficulty to fit this political institution into the complex reality of the nation. Moreover, the cultural products analysed show the need to stabilize the new meanings related to the signifiers state and republic in Catalan culture.
自2000年代末以来，文化产品的创造者们一直在想象一个未来的加泰罗尼亚，它拥有独立的机构，这是公民共同努力的结果，而不仅仅是精英。在这篇文章中，我认为对加泰罗尼亚共和国的描述是良性的、横向的和现代的，这表明在胁迫、经济自由、社会保护、官僚主义、语言政策和移民处理等方面存在紧张和遗漏。这种表达体现在Patrícia Gabancho的新闻小说Crònica de la independncia (2009)， Isona Passola的纪录片L ' endeme.com (2014a)和Antonio Baños的文章la República possible(2017)中。对国家的毫无疑问和矛盾的描述揭示了潜在的恐惧，这些恐惧来自于将这种政治制度融入国家复杂现实的历史困难。此外，分析的文化产品表明需要稳定加泰罗尼亚文化中与能指国家和共和国相关的新意义。

This article reassesses the debate around the meaning of ‘libertarian communism’ within the Spanish anarcho-syndicalist movement in the years prior to and during the Civil War. Drawing on recent historical and theoretical literature that argues for a non-pejorative and analytical understanding of utopia, it brings renewed attention to this aspect of Spanish anarcho-syndicalism. The article focuses on the proposals for a definition of libertarian communism that were debated in the run up to and during the National Confederation of Labour’s (CNT) Zaragoza Congress in May 1936. It argues that a utopian imagination was central to the movement’s self-understanding and concrete achievements, and not confined to its more idealist currents.

Dynamic, multifaceted and multimodal feminist and woman-led artistic production has made its mark in the Galician cultural sphere in recent years. Non-canonical artistic formulations located on the fringes of, and often serving as a challenge to, mainstream Galician culture reveal new ways of thinking about gender from peripheral, non-hegemonic and decolonial positions. Galician women are engaging in creative and experimental forms of self-expression, self-production and consumption of culture by reconfiguring and ‘refashioning’ Galician feminisms and femininities within a global framework. Particularly timely in the wake of the #MeToo movement, 8M women’s strikes and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on gender equality, and with social media playing an ever more prominent role in the diffusion of grassroots feminist activism, contemporary Galician creative practice by, for and about women has much to teach us in how it challenges heteropatriarchal binaries and stereotypes.

Anatomía dunha serea (‘Anatomy of a mermaid’) () is a documentary theatre play in which the Galician actor Iria Pinheiro shares the experiences of obstetric violence she went through during and after labour. I filmed Pinheiro’s creative process when putting the play together. As I was filming, I found Anatomía dunha serea presented a reality that is still debated in Spain, disrupting the performative image of the pregnant woman that has been perpetuated in cultural production within western patriarchal society. In this article, I address how I use video essay as a research form to analyse the subversive nature of the play, looking at how Pinheiro uses parody as a device to disrupt, and how she confronts us with the image of the pregnant woman typically portrayed in films. Furthermore, what started as an investigation into the actor’s creative process turned into a personal exploration to understand more about the pregnant woman who infiltrates the Galician and Spanish imaginary. By analysing to what extent the image we get from films has been framed by the depictions of the pregnant Virgin Mary and how subversive portrayals in films are sometimes made invisible, I intend to challenge how we present the pregnant woman on screen.
Anatomía dunha serea(“美人鱼的解剖”)是一部记录片戏剧，加利西亚演员Iria Pinheiro在其中分享了她在分娩期间和分娩后遭受的产科暴力的经历。我拍摄了皮涅罗创作剧本的过程。在拍摄过程中，我发现Anatomía dunha serea呈现了一个在西班牙仍有争议的现实，打破了西方父权社会文化生产中一直存在的孕妇表演形象。在这篇文章中，我将阐述我如何使用视频文章作为一种研究形式来分析戏剧的颠覆性，看看Pinheiro如何使用模仿作为一种破坏的手段，以及她如何面对电影中典型的孕妇形象。此外，从对演员创作过程的调查开始，变成了对深入了解加利西亚和西班牙想象中的孕妇的个人探索。通过分析我们从电影中获得的形象在多大程度上被怀孕的圣母玛利亚的描绘所框框，以及电影中颠覆性的描绘有时是如何被隐形的，我打算挑战我们在屏幕上呈现孕妇的方式。
