This text analyzes the cultural logics of the Spanish democracy in the context of the current crisis, studying the collapse of national hegemonic, beginning in 2011. To do so, it offers a reading methodology capable to understand urban policies, the construction of speculative infrastructures (ghost airports), and the production of novels (Crematorio, by Rafael Chribes), graffiti (15M), and performances (Santiago Sierra) as political displays for ideological confrontation. Finally, the text argues that cremation is the central metaphor that, in relation to temporality and profit, opens up a perspective beyond the logics of (capitalist) normalization that have been hegemonic in Spain during the last decades.
