In a recent article on ‘interspecies cosmopolitanism’, Eduardo Mendieta summarizes a good deal of scholarship in his claim that, ‘[c]osmopolitanism … implies a dual relationship that urges that we remain cognitively open to the other and that we be morally accountable for and to the [animal] other’ (Mendieta, 2011: 2). On the face of it the bullfight (la corrida de toros) seems to fail both of these desiderata.1 In this chapter, however, we explore the configuration of the bull-human relationship within the bullfight world. Performers’ and aficionados’ conceptions of moral accountability for and to the other come, as we show, through a conjunction of ethics and aesthetic frameworks that is not shared by their detractors.
