Tenley Martin

Transnational Flamenco

Exchange and the Individual in British and Spanish Flamenco Culture

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book provides insight into how flamenco travels, the forms it assumes in new locales, and the reciprocal effects on the original scene.

Utilising a postnational approach to cultural identity, Martin explores the role of non-native culture brokers in cultural transmission. This concept, referred to as 'cosmopolitan human hubs', builds on Kiwan and Meinhof's 'hubs' theory of network migration to move cultural migration and globalisation studies forwards. Martin outlines a post-globalisation flamenco culture through analysis of ethnographic research carried out in the UK, Sevilla and Madrid. Insight into these glocal scenes characterises flamenco as a historically globalized art complex, represented in various hubs around the world.

This alternative approach to music migration and globalisation studies will be of interest to students and scholars across leisure studies, musicology, sociology and anthropology.

Rezensionen

"This is a book about individuals, and his house was a meeting place between Spanish and London flamenco for decades. If you want to hear the voices of the people who create flamenco in Britain and to think about what that creative action involves and achieves, Tenley Martin's book is the best available guide." (Brendan Larvor, Flamenco News, January, 2021)
