Title: Ernest Hemingway and the Bullfighter Primer: Genre, Ideology, and Tragedy
Author/Creator: Randall Spinks
Publication Details: International Journal of the Humanities, Vol.9(7), pp.61-71
Annotation: Spinks discusses Death in the Afternoon within the genre conventions of the bullfight primer, applying the aesthetic theories of Marxist critic Terry Eagleton to Hemingway s treatment of bullfighting as a tragic art form. Spinks focuses on class to show that the corrida s actual violence is itself a representation of the economic and cultural violence relational with the changeover of one inherently exploitive mode of production, feudalism, to another, capitalism.
