The Culture of Cursileria: Bad Taste, Kitsch, and Class in Modern Spain
Noel Valis
The Spanish terms cursi and cursileria are not easily translated, but they refer to a cultural phenomenon widely prevalent in Spanish society since the nineteenth century. This book examines the social meanings of cursi, viewing it as a window into modern Spanish history and particularly into the development of middle-class culture.
