This book encourages a rethink of the urban youth movement that came to be known as la movida through a close analysis of the monthly arts magazine La Luna de Madrid (1983-1988). It analyses La Luna's urban reimaginings and its destabilization of fixed identity categories.
During the 1980s, the urban youth movement known as la movida transformed the Spanish cultural landscape, particularly in the country's capital, Madrid. After a four-decade long dictatorship, artists and thinkers sought to make the most of their newly found freedoms.
