UNA NOVEDOSA ARQUITECTURA SOCIAL Y LINGŰĹSTICA DEL MADRID DE LOS `80
AN INNOVATING SOCIAL AND LINGUISTIC ARCHITECTURE OF MADRID IN THE 80’s

Summary/Abstract: The present study represents a short itinerary through Madrid’s recent history during the Spanish Transition from an interdisciplinary perspective which proposes revisiting the social and linguistic behaviour of the Movida madrilena phenomenon. The political events of the eighties had a significant impact on Spanish society contributing to the acquirement of its ethicoaesthetical values. La Movida creates a new linguistic identity which invades not only the street, but also the artistic and cultural environment of the city. Thus, we discover an aesthetic lacking ethics, translated by a freedom of language and a frivolous turn of phrase. A filmmaker like Pedro Almodovar or writers such as Antonio de Villena and Juan Madrid are only a few examples pleading for artistic and literary emancipation as a ludic invective against political and social life.
