Performing human-animal relations in Spain : an anthropological study of bullfighting from horseback in Andalusia.

Title page, contents and abstract only. The complete thesis in print form is available from the University of Adelaide Library. / A fundamental concern of human-animal studies is the human-animal boundary. The rider-horse relationship challenges this boundary through a degree of intercorporeality that is symbolised by the centaur. The centaur is transformative and generative; it is part-horse, part-human but more than horse-plus-human. This dissertation employs the centaur metaphor together with embodied theories of human-animal relations to explore the intercorporeality of humans and animals, and the permeability of the human-animal boundary. / http://proxy.library.adelaide.edu.au/login?url= http://library.adelaide.edu.au/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?BBID=1284053 / Thesis (Ph.D.) -- University of Adelaide, School of Social Sciences, 2007
