Ideas Lab with Christine Martinez: a space to present and discuss ongoing research

Since its inauguration, the International Institute has been a space for sharing and debating ideas. With this story in mind, American Space Madrid presents a new initiative – a laboratory of ideas – which seeks to put researchers from different disciplines that are developing new research projects. Each month, a guest will circulate a text – a book chapter, a thesis segment, a grant proposal – that we will share with academics, artists, and thinkers from Spain and the United States, in order to create a space for debate and reflection.

This month, we open the session with a text by Christine Martinez, a PhD student from the Department of Spanish & Portuguese at New York University, who will present the chapter “Models: The materialization of neoliberal “presentism” in the cinema of the Spanish real estate boom.”

 

 

In June, we will continue with another session that we will announce shortly.
