El factor espacio
No es curioso que en estos tiempos de virtualidad, el espacio físico sea cada vez más importante? En lugar de una lógica dispersión de eventos culturales por la geografía de un país, estos se concentran cada vez más. Una ciudad como Barcelona va cargada de eventos culturales que se hacen una competencia rabiosa los unos a los otros. Uno avanza menos de cien kilómetros y lo sorprende un desierto cultural donde no hay vida más allá de invitar al grupo de moda a la Fiesta Mayor. ¿Cuál es la razón? ¿Cuestión de infraestructura? ¿Es necesario montar algo en una gran ciudad para demostrar que has triunfado?
Isn't it curious how -in these virtuality times- physical space is getting a lot more important? Instead of a logic dispersion of cultural events throughout the geography of a country, they tend to concentrate more and more. A city like Barcelona is full of cultural events which furiously compete among them. If you move less than 100 km you'll arrive to a cultural dessert where there is no life beyond inviting a trendy band for the major city holidays. Why is that? ¿A question of infrastructure? ¿Do you need to arrange something in a big city to show that you have succeeded?
