- Annotation
- Harding rejects the pervasive view of the bull as sacrificial victim in the bullfight. Draws on the theories of Ren Girard and three types of bullfighting distinguished in Hemingway s Death in the Afternoon (e.g. spontaneous, amateur, professional) to identify the matador as (potential) victim in his counter-sacrificial reading of the corrida.
