En Construcción by Guerín is a pseudo-documentary that utilizes several cinematic techniques to represent the essence of the Barrio Chino. Joan Roman Resina reads into the mind of the director and the way he depicted this neighborhood of Barcelona. He describes Guerín’s tactic of still shots, rarely panoramic or overhead, in order to achieve a feeling of intimacy with the streets and buildings. Resina writes about the Barrio Chino as being a maker of “ghosts,” specifically the historic buildings that are pushed aside as relics or lost forever for the sake of innovation (Resina 2008: 263). One such building that survived the reconstruction of the Barrio Chino was Sant Pau del Camp (Church of St. Paul of the Countryside), a Romanesque church that was featured several times in En Construcción, presumably as one of the “ghosts” that remained as a reminder of the past. The construction of this site is a mystery, with clues to the time of inception like the gravestone of Guifre II Borrell from the year 911 (“Sant Pau del Camp”). Traces of the original architecture can be seen on the capitals and bases of the portal, yet the remainder of the structure was rebuilt in the 11th and 12th centuries following its destruction during a Muslim raid of 985 AD (“Sant Paul del Camp, Barcelona”). Longhurst writes about the Spaniards of the 1960s “abandoning their roots” in search of opportunity in the city, a social shift that continues to draw the center of culture out of rural Barcelona (Longhurst 2000: 19). This is evident with the Benedictine monastery, which was once located outside of the city of Barcelona, yet through generations of construction, renovation and expansion, it now sits within the Barrio Chino surrounded by tall buildings, bustling streets and curious tourists. This site was declared a National Monument in 1879. Work cited:  “Sant Pau del Camp”: http://www.barcelonaturisme.com/wv3/en/page/499/sant-paudel-camp.html  “Sant Paul del Camp, Barcelona”: http://www.sacreddestinations.com/spain/barcelona-sant-pau-del-camp  Item changed by user 26 at 2017-02-14 10:42:41.Updated: Title, Subject, DescriptionItem changed by user 26 at 2017-02-10 11:03:43.Created manually by user
