En este trabajo se estudiarán diferentes temas tratados en la película de La Marquesona, en la cual el flamenco ejercido como medio de supervivencia --por la Marquesona y su grupo musical-- hizo que una madre soltera pudiera mantener a su hija en aquellos años, en los que ser gitano no era fácil y vivir del arte tampoco. Se explorará también la identidad flamenca, las clases sociales representadas en la película y cómo pertenecer a diferentes estratos socioeconómicos influye a la hora de pensar y de relacionarse.","PeriodicalId":516841,"journal":{"name":"Revista de Investigación sobre Flamenco \"La madrugá\"","volume":"161 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140514631","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
