Abstract
Flamenco, a form of song and dance, has often been understood
and promoted as a symbol for the nation of Spain. Common
representations of flamenco are largely uniform, suggesting
flamenco participants and experience are unvaried, as well.
Flamenco, however, engages a wide and diverse range of
participants. My research is concerned with exploring the ways in
which flamenco performance embodies as well as comments upon
Spain’s complexities, nuances, and contradictions. Field
observations and semi-structured interviews exhibit the dynamic
relationship between flamenco performance and Spanish national
identity.
