Flamenco Music and National Identity in Spain explores the efforts
of the current government in southern Spain to establish flamenco
music as a significant patrimonial symbol and marker of cultural
identity. Further, it aims to demonstrate that these Andalusian
efforts form part of the ambitious project of rethinking the
nation-state of Spain, and of reconsidering the nature of national
identity. A salient theme in this book is that the development of
notions of style and identity are mediated by social institutions.
Specifically, the book documents the development of flamenco's
musical style by tracing the genre's development, between 1880 and
1980, and demonstrating the manner in which the now conventional
characterization of the flamenco style was mediated by krausist,
modernist, and journalist institutions. Just as importantly, it
identifies two recent institutional forces, that of audio recording
and cinema, that promote a concept of musical style that sharply
contrasts with the conventional notion. By emphasizing the
importance of forward-looking notions of style and identity,
Flamenco Music and National Identity in Spain makes a strong case
for advancing the Spanish experiment in nation-building, but also
for re-thinking nationalism and cultural identity on a global
scale.
