摘要:This work situates flamenco, anti-flamenquismo, and national identities in Barcelona during the three decades leading up to the Civil War and unravels what the contested musical spaces meant for Catalan nationalists. Through their attacks on cafés cantantes and their promotion of the sardana and choral societies, Catalan nationalists posited an identity that denied the industrial system that Catalans themselves created and that effaced the problems that came with it. In the end, however, the Catalan nationalists’ attempts to render flamenco performers and their performances obsolete failed because foreigners and profit-seeking Catalans and Andalusians kept stoking the flames of an exoticized Barcelona.
