Bullring: culture, tradition and differences between Spain and Portugal
Orientador(es)
Resumo(s)
Bullrings are emblematic places of the culture and tradition of each country where bullfights have been held for centuries. These events have been very popular in many parts of the world and have attracted thousands of fans over the years. Bullrings are considered by many to be cultural heritage and an important part of the history and tradition of many countries. Bullfighting celebrations continue to be important in the culture and tradition of the towns. In many bullrings, bullfights have been prohibited, but in other parts of the world, bullfights continue to be very popular and successful. However, in recent times, bullrings have been regarded by some as an inconvenient heritage site due to growing opposition to bullfighting and the banning of these events in some places. The comparative analysis between Spain and Portugal, a country with a bullfighting tradition influenced by Spain, shows that Spain is the country with the most bullrings in the world today. At the same time, Portugal has more than 200 bullrings throughout its territory. There are cultural differences in bullfighting between Spain and Portugal, but, as a tradition, bullfighting has deep roots in both countries. Although they share similarities in terms of the practice itself, there are significant cultural differences in both countries. These distinctions can be established from the style of the bullfight, the death of the bull, the clothing of the bullfighters, the use of the horses, the music performed during the festival and the posture or attitude towards the bullfighting activity. The importance of the resignification of bullfighting as cultural heritage is an integral part of the identity of many regions of Spain and Portugal and, protecting them, guarantees that this tradition is preserved and transmitted to future generations.
