Abstract

The acceptability of women in bullfighting varies in relation to a variety of different Andalusian discourses about gender and tradition. Female performers are a contested phenomenon. The inclusion of women has repercussions in several domains; it questions the anthropological definition of the ritual structure and meaning of the bullfight, challenges the status of "tradition" in the contemporary context, and threatens established gender models.
