To understand the customs of a country enables us to better understand the people and to in turn to understand ourselves. We study bullfighting, not for the gory details, or just to discuss animal rights, but to understand its historical and cultural origins and to understand how it became part of hispanic cultures in certain countries. Whether or not you agree or end up being an "aficionado"of bullfighting, it is important to have a educated opinion on the topic.
In class will read a short text in Spanish about bullfighting and view two short videos on bullfighting, its history and cultural relevance. You will have time afterwards to discuss your impressions and express your opinions. There will be comprehension quizes.
The following are links to all kinds of sites about bullfighting in various countries. They in turn may lead to other links.
| Toros en México | Andalucia |
| Netherlands Toros Page | |
| The sport of bullfighting | Sevilla |
| Mesquite, Nevada: Run with the Bulls | San Fermin :Running of the Bulls |
