Summary:
Urban spaces became battlefields, signifiers have been invaded, new structures have been established: NetCulture replaced counterculture in most parts and also focused on the everchanging environments of the modern city. Important questions have been brought up to date and reasked, taking current positions and discourses into account. The major question still remains, namely how to create culturally based resistance under the influence of capitalistic pressure and conservative politics. This collection of essays and contributions attempts to address this question and its implications for different scientific and artistic fields.

Summary:
This is also, inevitably, a book about Luis Barragán and the long shadow he cast over Mexican architecture. It explores his early and little-known work as part of a generation of architect–engineers known as the Escuela Tapatía (the Guadalajara School), which in the 1920s developed an abstract and stylized reinterpretation of the regional architecture of Jalisco. Even less well known is the generation of architects who began their careers in Guadalajara in the early 1980s. This group took the work of Barragán and his colleagues from the 1920s as the starting point for its own production, resulting in an “echo of an echo”—a reinterpretation through time of an increasingly distant and abstracted original.
