- Title
The Puerta del Sol and 15M: A Synecdoche of Power and Protest.
- Authors
Feinberg, Matthew I.
- Abstract
The article discusses the role played by the Puerta del Sol plaza in Madrid, Spain, as a place for demonstrating power and protest. The 15-M Movement occupied the Puerta del Sol, when the decentralized network of Democracia Real Ya called for protests in 57 Spanish cities on May 15, 2011. By May 20, 2011, the movement grew in size, and the Puerta del Sol had 28, 000 people participating in the protest and the plaza was transformed into a mini-city replete with its own radio station and library.
