Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bullfighting evokes mixed feelings and many may feel hesitant to explore the subject. Whoever came up with such an idea? Surely they could have thought of easier and safer ways to entertain themselves. Also, why fight a bull as opposed to any other animal? Why pick on the bovine species that has been so useful to man since time immemorial? What is the cultural value and significance of such an act? How can one justify inflicting pain on the bull? Furthermore, why kill the animal? Why not carry out all the acts but let the animal live at the end? What is so special and necessary about killing? What are the roots and raison d’être of the bullfighting ritual? Why do bullfighters dress up in such an ornate manner? Where does all this pageantry come from? Why don’t we see more women bullfighters? Does bullfighting have a future? These are the questions that came to Reza Hosseinpour’s mind when he first moved to Spain and was exposed to bullfighting. For him the search was, and continues to be, a journey full of surprises. Perhaps the biggest surprise was to realise how revered the bull is. Unfortunately, this does not come across on television or in pictures. According to him, you really need to go to the arena to experience the public veneration for the bull. Respect for the bull is the most fundamental aspect, and lies at the very core of bullfighting. Bullfighting is a profoundly misunderstood subject, and in this book Reza Hosseinpour shares his insights in search of the answers to the many questions the subject raises.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Performing Animality provides theoretical and creative interventions into the presence of the animal and ideas of animality in performance. Animals have always played a part in human performance practices. Maintaining a crucial role in many communities' cultural traditions, animal-human encounters have been key in the development of performance. Similarly, performance including both living animals and/or representations of animals provides the context for encounters in which issues of power, human subjectivity and otherness are explored. Crucially, however, the inclusion of animals in performance also offers an opportunity to investigate ethical and moral assumptions about human and non-human animals. This book offers a historical and theoretical exploration of animal presence in performance by looking at the concept of animality and how it has developed in theatre and performance practices from the eighteenth century to today. Furthermore, it points to shifts in political, cultural, and ethical animal-human relations emerging within the context of animality and performance.

Download or read book Death and Money in the Afternoon written by Adrian Shubert and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 1999 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Shubert analyzes the business of the sport, and explores the bullfighters' world: their social and geographic origins, careers, and social status. Here also are surprising revelations about the sport, such as the presence of women bullfighters - and the larger gender issues that this provoked. From the political use of bullfighting in royal and imperial pageants to the nationalistic "great patriotic bullfights" of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, this is both a fascinating portrait of bullfighting and a vivid recreation of two centuries of Spanish history.

Download or read book Beyond Human written by Maryanne L. Leone and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2023-10-02 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chronicling sixteenth-century Spain to the present day, Beyond Human aims to decentre the human and acknowledge the material historicity of more-than-human nature. The book explores key questions relating to ecological equity, justice, and responsibility within and beyond Spain in the Anthropocene. Examining relations between Iberian cultural practices, historical developments, and ecological processes, Maryanne L. Leone, Shanna Lino, and the contributors to this volume reveal the structures that uphold and dismantle the non-human–human dichotomy and nature-culture divide. The book critiques works from the Golden Age to the twenty-first century in a wide range of genres, including comedia, royal treatises, agricultural reports, paintings, satirical essays, horror fiction and film, young adult and speculative literature, poetry, graphic novels, and television series. The authors contend that Spanish cultural studies must expose the material historicity that entangles today’s ecological crises and ecosocial injustices with previous, future, and contemporary entities. The book argues that this will require the simultaneous decentring of the human and of the Anthropocene as an ecocritical framework. By standardizing ecosocial analysis and widening avenues for ecopedagogical approaches, Beyond Human participates in the ecocentric transformation of Hispanic cultural studies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La obra poética completa de uno de los escritores más influyentes de la literatura española. La figura de Federico García Lorca abarca, tanto en España como en el exterior, mucho más que su literatura. Su poesía, traducida a infinidad de lenguas, recorre paisajes, hurga en tradiciones y denuncia injusticias con la maestría de un escritor que utilizó la pluma como pocos, y sus libros continúan leyéndose sin atender al paso del tiempo ni a las arbitrariedades de la moda. En esta deslumbrante colección, el lector podrá recorrer el tramo completo de su obra poética: empezando con el joven Lorca en Libro de poemas, Canciones y Juego y teoría del duende, pasando por clásicos lorquianos como Romancero gitano, Poema del cante jondo, el impresionante poemario Poeta en Nueva York, así como Tierra y luna, Sonetos y Llanto por Ignacio Sánchez Mejías, entre muchos otros. La edición y los prólogos otorgan al lector las herramientas necesarias para comprender y contextualizar al personaje, para acercarse a la complejidad de su obra y para disfrutar, en un sólo volumen, de uno de los autores españoles más relevantes del siglo XX. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION The complete poetic work of one of the most influential writers in Spanish literature. The figure of Federico García Lorca encompasses, both in Spain and abroad, much more than his literature. His poetry, translated into countless languages, travels through landscapes, delves into traditions and denounces injustices with the skill of a writer who used the pen like few others, and his books continue to be read by multiple generations. In this dazzling collection, the reader will be able to go through the entire stretch of his poetic work: starting with the young Lorca in Book of Poems, Songs and Theory and Play of the Duende, passing through Lorca classics such as Gypsy Ballads, Poem of the Deep Song, the impressive poem Poet in New York, as well as Lament for Ignacio Sánchez Mejías, among many others. This edition and its prologues give the reader the necessary tools to understand and contextualize the author, to get closer to the complexity of his work and to enjoy, in a single volume, one of the most relevant Spanish authors of the 20th century.
