It is a fundamental book not only for its essential contribution to the knowledge of architecture and cinema of contemporary Spain, but also for its status as a methodological model for the study of the relationships between architecture and other areas of contemporary culture.""--Juan Calatrava, Full Professor of Architectural History, University of Granada ""Pushing beyond inherited ideas about Spain's relationship to modernity and modernization, Comfort and Domestic Space in Modern Spain asks readers to explore in a nuanced and culturally specific way what the home means for personal and collective identities when excavated through the cultural images, government regulations, and popular media of twentieth-century Spain. The essays in this collection - all of which emerged in the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic - offer bold, original readings of the domestic and institutional spaces we inhabit, but rarely write about, that are critical to thinking anew about such crucial and, as we have learned, interdependent topics as intimacy and confinement.""--Jordana Mendelson, Associate Professor, Department of Spanish and Portuguese, New York University ""What is well-being? What is a home? Employing a rigorous approach to cultural studies, Susan Larson manages to answer these questions, never so current as today, expertly tracing the tricky and exciting drawing of the popular culture of Spanish modernity through the examination of the imaginaries of comfort linked to domestic architecture.""--Eduardo Prieto, Associate Professor of History of Architecture and Art, Universidad Polit�cnica de Madrid" ""In this brilliant collective work, the effective editing work of Susan Larson offers us sixteen contributions that constitute an interdisciplinary research about the relationships between architecture, domestic space, and comfort and about the representation of this problem in contemporary Spanish cinema.
