Grace Langley, Benjamin Fraser Camille Kresz 02/06/2017 English, Spanish Document, Sound 1 Conde de Asalto One of the main geographical features in El Barrio Chino is the Conde de Asalto. The Conde de Asalto is like a man-made river with constant foot traffic that connects the Rambles with the Parallel. The ‘river’ grants access to many of the houses, businesses, and clinics throughout El Barrio (Zarzoso and Pardo-Tomás 2016: 171). The presence of clinics along this river increased as the concept of social medicine became more popular. Social medicine is the commitment of physicians to provide necessary medical attention to deprived urban areas. The Conde de Asalto and El Barrio Chino lack sanitation regulations and public healthcare necessary for preventing illnesses and diseases. “The search for […] better hygienic conditions prompted some enterprising Barcelona surgeons” to transform the Conde de Asalto through the installation of clinics (Zarzoso and Martínez-Vidal 2016: 76). The clinics are necessary for providing adequate treatment to the natives of these areas (Zarzoso and Pardo-Tomás 2016: 160). In addition to clinics, the prevalence of museos anatómicos, or anatomical museums, increased. Professionals who practice social medicine use museos anatómicos to educate the public on medical science, disease prevention, possible treatments, etc. However, the museos anatómicos received negative views due to their explicit nature (Zarzoso and Pardo-Tomás 2016: 173-77). Also explicit in nature, prostitution and brothels are very popular and in high demand in the Conde de Asalto. Many of the establishments along the Conde de Asalto cater to the needs of prostitutes, such as rubber ware and bathing establishments, abortion clinics, and photographic studios, and granted access to brothels. The purpose of rubber ware and bathing establishments is to purchase condoms and to cleanse genitalia, respectively. Overall, there is a range of 2 businesses along the Conde de Asalto that slowly transforms from respectable to perverse as you travel from one end to another (Zarzoso and Pardo-Tomás 2016: 171-72).  Item changed by user 26 at 2017-02-06 17:37:16.Created manually by user
