One comment on “Reading List: Onto-Epistemologies of Flamenco

  • This list is super engaging, Inma!

    A couple of quick thoughts:

    I think what you’ve included in “Nation” will do some of this, but I wonder if there might not be a history of flamenco to include? there may not be a singular history of flamenco — which is part of what makes it interesting as a theme/inquiry — and/but something that gets to the material conditions out of which it moves and circulates, which can tell us about the bodies it dis/organizes? I have a very vague memory of reading quite a long time ago now a critical history of flamenco coming out of British cultural studies — might be outdated at this point, honestly, but it might helpfully situate — Timothy Mitchell, maybe?

    Historical contexts seem important in that I think part of the story you’re engaging is one of continuities (and perhaps disjunctures) between early modern and modern globalization via course of empire/colonialism…

    Also, this is to the side a bit, but it occurs to me that the intro (at least) to Jonathan Gil Harris’ Untimely Matters might be useful to you as a way of thinking the thickness of the present as a matter of engaging the early modern.

    Finally for now, are there a few exemplary primary texts you want to think with for this list? Cultural representations or historical artifacts? Or the music of, which overlaps with the sound work, of course?
