Abstract
The article is devoted to
analyzing gender-related division of movement in flamenco dance. The primary dichotomy:
feminine/masculine is a starting point for isolating other crucial binary oppositions:
chaos/order, submissiveness/domination, etc. The aim of this article is to
illustrate how a gender-specific use of dance techniques reveals Andalusian
habitus. Through an anthropological reading of flamenco dance, the condition of
masculinity and femininity in Southern Spain can be displayed.
Keywords: Flamenco, Anthropology
of Dance, Gender, Habitus, Body
