GA-07 Flamenco: Cultural Expression of Andalucia 
GA-07 El Flamenco: Expresión Cultural de Andalucía – Course syllabus in Spanish
Flamenco will be broached as a cultural phenomenon in its widest sense; i.e., taking into account the elements that link it with music, social interaction, and communication, as well as its display of lyricism, whilst not forgetting its connections with contexts related to work, ritual and festive occasions. As a result of this approach, flamenco is viewed as a manifestation which goes beyond the strictly artistic, whilst possessing the capacity to generate social identity, in the case of Andalucía, on the basis of ethnic factors, but not exclusively so. In order to illustrate this plan of action, use will be made of a historically based analysis, to be able to carry out a reconstruction of the major processes by means of which, up until the present day, flamenco has emerged as a cultural manifestation in the southern part of Peninsular Spain. The objective of the first part of the course is to bring students who are unfamiliar with flamenco music, into contact with its key features. This will enable them to appreciate flamenco as a musical language and as a communicative model with its own specific characteristics. Thereafter, the same will be done with regard to Flamenco as a dance. In the second section, students will learn about the different phases that have contributed to the history of flamenco, whilst they will also be introduced to debates concerning its interaction with a range of cultural traditions, some of which remain distanced in time and space. This process will allow students to identify and understand the historical roots of the beginnings of flamenco in Andalucía, together with an awareness, although cursory, of the debates that have encouraged a specialised biography on the historical and cultural starting point of flamenco. Finally, the third section will focus on the characteristics of flamenco as an expression of social interaction and a communicative model, while its current validity in contemporary society, within diverse social and festive contexts, is scrutinized, along with the key characteristics of its lyrics as a manifestation of poetic art.

FS-09 Music and Society: Theory and Practice of Flamenco
Broadly defined, Flamenco is a complex performative art which includes song (cante), dance (baile) and guitar music (toque), originally embedded in a particular lifestyle and worldview. Tracing its origins to approximately the mid-nineteenth century, Flamenco has been associated with Spanish Gypsies (gitanos), a community instrumental in its development and who represent the majority of its practitioners, and with the culture of Andalusia in Southern Spain. The exoticization of Spain during the 19th century stimulated Flamenco’s broader development and popularity until it eventually grew to become a powerful national icon, while it continues to be regarded as a quintessential expression of Spanish culture. Our emphasis is on acquiring an aural, visual, and theoretical understanding of Flamenco, of the streams of culture which created it, and of its role within Spanish culture, and on using the study of Flamenco as a vehicle to explore the relationship between art and culture, music and society, and the ways in which we think, talk and learn about Flamenco. The intention of the practical part of the Course, the Flamenco dance class, is not to train future Flamenco dancers, although many students go on to further study. Rather, it is designed to give students an understanding of the mechanics, aesthetics, and basic canons of an art form that is so often described as being purely spontaneous and free. The dance class centers on learning the basic postures and steps of the Flamenco vocabulary and the techniques of footwork. We also study the “compás” (rhythmic cycle) and learn to play “palmas” (rhythmic handclapping). Above all, we try to understand how Flamenco dance is structured and the essential relationship that links dancer, guitarist and singer. At the end of the Course, in addition to a final paper and final exam, students will perform the simple choreography they have learned, accompanied by a professional singer and guitarist. This tends to give them an entirely new appreciation of the complexity of both the dance form and the culture in which it is embedded. Evaluation in this part of the class sessions is based on attendance, effort and improvement, each student performing at his or her own level; ability or prior dance training is not necessary.

FS-19 The Image of Spain through Film and Digital Fiction
This course provides students with a route-map through those Spanish movies, as well as those from other countries, which deal with the image of Spain from different perspectives. There have been times when that same image has become distorded for reasons which are not, stricklyspeaking, cinematographic in character. Bringing to the fore the key aspects of that distorsion, while analysing a range of discourse types in film, can help bring into focus the role of Cinema as a generator of cultural stereotypes. 

GS-01 Spain’s Classical Heritage: Between History and Mythology

GB-09 Flamenco: An Expression of the Culture of Andalucia
GB-09 El Flamenco: Expresión Cultural de Andalucía – Course syllabus in Spanish
Flamenco will be broached as a cultural phenomenon in its widest sense; i.e., taking into account the elements that link it with music, social interaction, and communication, as well as its display of lyricism, whilst not forgetting its connections with contexts related to work, ritual and festive occasions. As a result of this approach, flamenco is viewed as a manifestation which goes beyond the strictly artistic, whilst possessing the capacity to generate social identity, in the case of Andalucía, on the basis of ethnic factors, but not exclusively so. In order to illustrate this plan of action, use will be made of a historically based analysis, to be able to carry out a reconstruction of the major processes by means of which, up until the present day, flamenco has emerged as a cultural manifestation in the southern part of Peninsular Spain. The objective of the first part of the course is to bring students who are unfamiliar with flamenco music, into contact with its key features. This will enable them to appreciate flamenco as a musical language and as a communicative model with its own specific characteristics. Thereafter, the same will be done with regard to Flamenco as a dance. In the second section, students will learn about the different phases that have contributed to the history of flamenco, whilst they will also be introduced to debates concerning its interaction with a range of cultural traditions, some of which remain distanced in time and space. This process will allow students to identify and understand the historical roots of the beginnings of flamenco in Andalucía, together with an awareness, although cursory, of the debates that have encouraged a specialised biography on the historical and cultural starting point of flamenco. Finally, the third section will focus on the characteristics of flamenco as an expression of social interaction and a communicative model, while its current validity in contemporary society, within diverse social and festive contexts, is scrutinized, along with the key characteristics of its lyrics as a manifestation of poetic art.
