Abstract
What kind of theories can provide us an understanding of the transformations experienced by cities, cultures and mentalities, and of the processes of ruination and conversion/deconversion the necessarily provoke? While providing the urban context for the spectacular Guggenheim Museum franchise, the ruins of post industrial Bilbao can be taken as alegories of other genernational deconversions in the fields of culture, politics, theory, autobiography and writing. The paper presents a theory of ruins in transformational terms.##submission.format##
