Nada, de Carmen Laforet Tanner, Constanza flâneuse Barcelona Carmen Laforet Apollonian Dionysian flâneuse Barcelona Carmen Laforet apolíneo dionisíaco In the first novel published by the Catalan writer Carmen Laforet, Nada, from 1944, the city of Barcelona transcends the function of a mere stage for action and becomes an indispensable condition for the protagonist, Andrea, to discover and reinvent her role within the society. Andrea's urban experience will be an initiatory journey that confronts her against two apparently contradictory images of Barcelona: an idyllic-Apollonian Barcelona and a grotesque-Dionysian Barcelona. Parallel to her growth as a woman, Andrea will accept the role of flâneuse for herself, and from there she will discover a third face of Barcelona, the modern city, which will show her to what extent the other two can be complementary. In her search, Andrea discovers that her place cannot agree with the routes that the tradition and conservatism of post-war Spain allow a woman to follow, or limit itself to the spaces that would appear in a Barcelona scheme designed for tourists. Andrea can only find herself in the intimate, autobiographical city, which she will discover for herself as a flâneuse, free from imposed imaginaries. En la primera novela publicada por la escritora catalana Carmen Laforet, Nada, de 1944, la ciudad de Barcelona trasciende la función de mero escenario para la acción y se transforma en condición indispensable para que la protagonista, Andrea, descubra y reinvente su rol dentro de la sociedad. La experiencia urbana de Andrea será un viaje iniciático que la enfrente con dos imágenes de Barcelona en apariencia contradictorias: una Barcelona idílico-apolínea y una Barcelona grotesco-dionisíaca. De forma paralela a su crecimiento como mujer, Andrea aceptará para sí el rol de flâneuse, y desde allí descubrirá una tercera cara de Barcelona, la ciudad moderna, que le mostrará en qué medida las otras dos pueden ser complementarias. En su búsqueda, Andrea descubrirá que su lugar no puede acordar con los recorridos que la tradición y el conservadurismo de la España de posguerra le permiten seguir a una mujer, ni limitarse a los espacios que figurarían en un esquema de Barcelona pensado para turistas. Andrea solo podrá hallarse en la ciudad íntima, autobiográfica, que descubrirá por sí misma como flâneuse, libre de imaginarios impuestos.
