Flamenco, Regionalism and Musical Heritage in Southern Spain
explores the relationship between regional identity politics and
flamenco in Andalusia, the southernmost autonomous community of
Spain. In recent years, the Andalusian Government has embarked on
an ambitious project aimed at developing flamenco as a symbol of
regional identity. In 2010, flamenco was recognised as an
Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO, a declaration
that has reinvigorated institutional support for the tradition. The
book draws upon ethnomusicology, political geography and heritage
studies to analyse the regionalisation of flamenco within the frame
of Spanish politics, while considering responses among Andalusians
to these institutional measures. Drawing upon ethnographic research
conducted online and in Andalusia, the book examines critically the
institutional development of flamenco, challenging a fixed reading
of the relationship between flamenco and regionalism. The book
offers alternative readings of regionalism, exploring the ways in
which competing localisms and disputed identities contribute to a
fresh understanding of the flamenco tradition. Matthew
Machin-Autenrieth makes a significant contribution to flamenco
scholarship in particular and to the study of music, regionalism
and heritage in general.
