Un análisis sociológico del movimiento antitaurino español y sus repertorios de protesta (2007-18). Jofre Riba. Universitat de Barcelona (2018) Resumen: Desde que en 2010 el Parlament de la Generalitat de Cataluña aprobase la prohibición de las corridas de toros en toda la comunidad autónoma, la tauromaquia en España ha sufrido grandes transformaciones. Vetos, eliminación de subvenciones públicas, cierre de espacios y restricciones entorno al sufrimiento animal. Muchos municipios y comunidades han ido aplicando progresivamente medidas antitaurinas en consonancia a las presiones de los nuevos movimientos sociales de liberación animal. El presente proyecto busca analizar sus repertorios de protesta y comprender como han aprovechado las oportunidades políticas que se han abierto en las últimas elecciones con la aparición de aliados influyentes. Mediante un análisis documental de la prensa española desde el 2007 hasta el 2018, material etnográfico y entrevistas a determinados colectivos antitaurinos tratamos de identificar sus logros y analizar sus repertorios de protesta en este periodo con especial atención al rol que juegan las emociones. Abstract. Since 2010 in the Parlament of the Generalitat of Catalonia approved the ban on bullfighting throughout the autonomous community, bullfighting in Spain has undergone major changes. Vetos, elimination of public subsidies, closing of spaces and restrictions regarding animal suffering. Many municipalities and communities have been progressively applying anti-bullfighting measures in line with the pressures of the new social movements of animal liberation.

  • Vibeke Final Version
    The Changing Place of Animals in Post-Franco Spain with particular reference to Bullfighting, Popular Festivities, and Pet-keeping. Vibeke Hansen A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Sociology University of Essex October 2015 Abstract This is a thesis about the changing place of animals in post-Franco Spain, with particular reference to bullfighting, popular festivities, and pet-keeping. The thesis argues that since the ‘transition’ to democracy (1975-1982), which made Spain one of the most liberal social-democratic states in Europe, there have been several notable developments in human-animal relations. In some important respects, Spain has begun to shed its unenviable reputation for cruelty towards animals. Three important changes have occurred. First, bullfighting (corridas) has been banned in the Canary Islands (1991) and in Catalonia (2010). In addition, numerous municipalities have declared themselves against it. Second, although animals are still widely ‘abused’ and killed (often illegally) in local festivities, many have gradually ceased to use live animals, substituting either dead ones or effigies, and those that continue to use animals are subject to increasing legal restrictions. Third, one of the most conspicuous changes has been the growth in popularity of urban pet-keeping, together with the huge expansion of the market for foods, accessories and services - from healthy diets to cemeteries. The thesis shows that the character of these changing human-animal relations, and the resistance

A mis padres, Marco y Patricia, quienes con su sencillez, inteligencia y osadía, me enseñaron a aceptar y a valorar los contrastes de la vida. Y de manera muy especial, a Nine y a Nano, quienes con su perspicacia, serenidad y cariño, han sido los seres más fenomenales que he tenido la dicha de conocer. AGRADECIMIENTOS Desde mi niñez siempre tuve una mayor curiosidad por la naturaleza y por los animales no-humanos, sin embargo, cuando tenía quince años, Iván Párraga, un profesor de historia y filosofía en mi colegio, me enseñó el intrigante camino de las reflexiones humanas a través del tiempo y gracias a él se originó en mí un gran interés por las ciencias sociales. Por intuición, más que por lógica o vocación, y sin olvidar mis preocupaciones infantiles, terminé escogiendo la carrera de antropología sociocultural y cuando se acabó la primera semana de clases estaba segura de que me había equivocado de profesión. Por suerte, durante cinco meses, Carolina Paéz, me llevó desde Morgan y Tylor hasta Roseberry y Escobar, provocando en mí un profundo agradecimiento, pues sus clases me habían incentivado a darme una segunda oportunidad con esta emocionante disciplina social.

  • Dierenwelzijn in Spanje
    Animal welfare in Spain Not everybody knows that animal welfare in Spain is very poor. Culture and traditions play an important role, but for example few people know that during bullfighting the animals are sometimes drugged and the eyes are treated with an irritating substance. Tourists can see numerous stray dogs and cats, but mistreatment of Galgo’s, Podencos and other hunting dogs is not commonly known. In Spain dogs are generally used for: • Hunting small game • Dog races • Hare coursing • Dog fights Especially Galgo’s and Podenco’s suffer a centuries-old “tradition”, of torturing and killing dogs cruelly after the hunting season (September to February). Galguero’s (hunters) and Gitano’s (Roma gypsies) breed many dogs and use them for hunting, racing and coursing. One third of pups are used and the rest is dumped or killed. They live under deplorable conditions in dark holes, cages or on a chain and most of the time food consists only of a piece of bread. Hunting with Galgo’s As soon as they do not perform well enough they are killed in large numbers in a “traditional way” after the hunting season, for example by hanging them with a rope around their neck from a tree, so that they can just reach the ground with their hind legs (“playing piano”) and after exhaustion they die horrible and slowly. Sometimes they are poured with petrol and set on fire or dragged behind a vehicle. “The more the dog suffers, the better the next hunting dog will be”. Lucky dogs are just dumped.

  • Prohibicion Corridas De Toros Y Prensa Internacional
    la web center de los animales con derecho dA derecho ANIMAL derechoanimal.info Julio- 2010 LA PROHIBICIÓN DE LAS CORRIDAS DE TOROS EN CATALUÑA VISTA POR LA PRENSA INTERNACIONAL: Autor de la recopilación: Oriol Caudevilla DIARIO "CLARÍN" (ARGENTINA): En medio de la polémica, Cataluña prohibió las corridas de toros 29/07/10 Será desde 2012. Los conservadores irán a la Corte en rechazo a la decisión. En una votación que avivó una encendida polémica, el Parlamento catalán prohibió ayer en esa región las corridas de toros, una de las tradiciones más enraizadas de la cultura española. La decisión desató un feroz debate social y político que se extiende a toda España y llegará seguramente al Congreso nacional, ya que los opositores a la medida, que entrará en vigencia en 2012, anunciaron una amplia ofensiva para dejarla sin validez. Mientras fuera del Parlamento se concentraban tanto los defensores de los animales como los partidarios de esta fiesta nacional, los legisladores aprobaron por 68 votos a favor, 55 en contra y 9 abstenciones la iniciativa legislativa popular que impulsó la plataforma Prou! (Basta) bajo el argumento de que las corridas son “una tortura” y un “maltrato evitable”, y que contó con 180.000 firmas, 130.000 más de las necesarias para llegar al Parlamento regional. Cataluña es entonces la segunda región española en prohibir las corridas de toros en su territorio, luego de Canarias, que lo hizo en 1991. La región catalana, que fue cuna y referencia de “la Fiesta” de los toros, termina así con siglos de tradición, aunque se mantendrán los “correbous” –festejos con toros a los que se prende fuego en las astas aunque no son sacrificados– a los que no afecta esta iniciativa.
