Download or read book Bulls, Bullfighting, and Spanish Identities written by Carrie B. Douglass and published by University of Arizona Press. This book was released on 1999-04 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The matador flourishes his cape, the bull charges, the crowd cheers: this is the image of Spain best known to the world. But while the bull has long been a symbol of Spanish culture, it carries more meaning than has previously been recognized. In this book, anthropologist Carrie B. Douglass views bulls and bullfighting as a means of discussing fundamental oppositions in Spanish society and explains the political significance of those issues for one of Europe's most regionalized countries. In talking about bulls and bullfighting, observes Douglass, one ends up talking not only about differences in region, class, and politics in Spain but also about that country's ongoing struggle between modernity and tradition. She relates how Spaniards and outsiders see bullfighting as representative of a traditional, irrational Spain contrasted with a more civilized Europe, and she shows how Spaniards' ambivalence about bullfighting is actually a way of expressing ambivalence about the loss of traditional culture in a modern world. To fully explore the symbolism of bulls and bullfighting, Douglass offers an overview of Spain's fiesta cycle, in which the bull is central. She broadly and meticulously details three different fiestas through ethnographic fieldwork conducted over a number of years, delineating the differences in festivals held in different regions. She also shows how a cycle of these fiestas may hold the key to resolving some of Spain's fundamental political contradictions by uniting the different regions of Spain and reconciling opposing political camps--the right, which holds that there is one Spain, and the left, which contends that there are many. Bulls, Bullfighting, and Spanish Identities is an intriguing study of symbolism used to examine the broader anthropological issues of identity and nationhood. Through its focus on the political discourse of bulls and bullfighting, it makes an original contribution to understanding not only Spanish politics but also Spain's place in the modern world.

Download or read book Jonathan Owen, Silver Bullet and Bank Robber written by Rick Thomas and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2005 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The author is a retired cartographer and graphic artist for the Government of British Columbia. He left Canada in his Jeep, Silver Bullet to live for a time in the tropics of Mexico. The Mexican people, black volcanoes, jungle landscape, torrid climate and a twenty five year old woman who robbed banks in North Africa, inspired him to write. The author fictionalized the stories of his experiences into those of his character Jonathan Owen. Jonathan's adventure begins on the road from his home in Canada and ends on a beach five months later in the exotic village of Bucerias on the Bahia de Banderas, Mexico. Jonathan Owen, Silver Bullet and Bank Robber live through many adventures in the land of bloody bullfights, illegal cockfights, pagan ways and religious festivals. Jonathan tells his young friend many stories of his life and imaginary ones of the people - past and future of Mexico. Together they learn about the brutality of the Aztec and Mayan peoples. Jonathan comes to appreciate the ancient God Quetzalcoatl and the Christian apparition, the Virgin of Guadalupe. They travel together on board Silver Bullet up into the Sierra Madras and jungles where love haunts them. They experience legends, myths and ghosts and the joy of giving to the poor in one of the many desolate places in Mexico - the municipal garbage dump of Puerto Vallarta. In Mexico life is abundant and cheap with death close by as Jonathan and Bank Robber find out. Driving the back roads through farms and jungles they see and smell it every day not knowing how close they are to their own demise. They will eventually and inevitably face death head on and it will change them forever.

Book excerpt: This book takes the reader where only brave souls dare to compete--the world of bullfighting. Matadors risk serious injury or death to compete in their art, one that has been a part of Spanish and Latin American culture for centuries. Beginning with an introduction to bullfighting as it relates to American culture (not overlooking the negative views it often attracts), the book profiles 21 American matadors in detail, including women bullfighters, and novilleros (beginners). Chapters within each section are devoted to individual bullfighters. A major feature of this work are the numerous action photographs, many of which were taken by the author himself and impressively portray the flair, skill, emotion, and faces of bullfighting.

Download or read book Bullfighting written by John McCormick and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-05 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ernest Hemingway, best-known to layman and aficionado alike, in his fiction described bullfighting, or toreo, as a cross between romantic risk and a drunken party, or as an elaborate substitute for war, ending in wounds or death. Although his descriptions of the "beauty"in toreo are lyrical, they are short on imaginative creation of how such beauty, through techniques and discipline, comes about. Hemingway may have sculpted a personal mystique of toreo but, in the opinion of some, he ignored or slighted the full, unique nature of the subject.In Bullfighting: Art, Technique, and Spanish Society John McCormick sorts through the complexities of toreo, to suggest the aesthetic, social, and moral dimensions of an art that is geographically limited, but universal when seen in round. While having felt the attraction of Hemingway's approach, McCormick knew that he was being seduced by elements that had little to do with toreo. To try to right Hemingway's distortions, he named the first edition of this book The Complete Aficionado, but then realized that the volume was directed at more than just the spectator: BullFighting is written from the point of view of the torerro, as opposed to the usual spectator's impressions and enthusiasm. With the help of a retired matador de toros, Mario Sevilla Mascarenas, who taught McCormick the rudiments of toreo as well as the emotions and discipline essential to survival, the authors rescue 'toreo from romantic cliches. They probe the anatomy of the matador's training and technique, provide a past-and-present survey of the traditions of the corrida, and furnish dramatic portraits of such famous figures as Manolete, Joselito, Belmonte, and Ordonez.Here then is an informed analysis and critique of the origins and myths of toreo and a survey of the novels it has inspired.
