quote:
While all these things are open to discussion, rigorous and widely-accepted definitions can be agreed upon, and then common usage will ultimately ensure a sort of shared understanding of what people are talking about. Runner, you and I are in complete agreement with your statement cited above. That is what I have been saying all along. Nevertheless, I don't think I was "reading anything into" the statement in your previous post in which you stated: "depending on one's definition of flamenco." You appeared to imply that there can be various and different "definitions" of flamenco, and it seems at odds with your above-cited statement that "rigorous and widely-accepted definitions can be agreed upon." There are certain parameters and characteristics that broadly define flamenco and other genres of music and art, and that differentiate them one from the other. There is an "essence" if you will, and each, including flamenco, is broadly defined by that essence, without which we have no common ground for discussion. You clearly state that in the quote cited above. It was not so clear to me in the statement: "depending on one's definition of flamenco," in your previous post. At any rate, I think we are now in agreement. Bill
