| Summary: | The Raval district is probably the most important in contemporary Barcelona literature. The literary representations of this territory show a space with a strong tendency to physical and human metamorphosis.

In this article we will study the social imaginary of four novels, analysed as part of my doctoral thesis on the literary identity of Barcelona. |
