“…But a focus on them as only symbols results in a limited sense of “play,” particularly in terms of how it extends to the bull's form 3 . The symbolic analysis emphasizes that turupukllay— mostly drawing from José María Arguedas's account in Yawar Fiesta —shifts the bull into the “Andean world” or symbolic universe, detaching it from Spain and Hispanidad (Bao and Hosoya 1986; Galdo 2007; Guzmán 2018; Kraniauskas 2012; on the ethnographic dimensions of Argueda's fiction, see Vásquez 2010). But a representational focus on the bull's symbolism misses both the materiality and plurality of bulls in the Andes.…”

Turupukllay is a popular form of bullfighting in Peru that unfolds over several days. Social analysis of turupukllay has largely focused on the symbolic dimension of its most sensational form, Yawar Fiesta, in which a condor is affixed to the back of the bull. But regarding these animals merely as symbols results in a limited sense of "play," particularly given how turupukllay encompasses the bull as a life-form. Based on fieldwork in Andagua, Peru, we argue that playing with the bull is more extensive: turupukllay can be seen as playing with tauromaquia broadly-the art, life, and regulation of Spanishstyle bullfighting. In Andagua, turupukllay plays with the bull through local breeding practices that physically transform it while also engaging in an ongoing burlesque of the formal features in tauromaquia. This version of turupukllay highlights an ongoing historical dynamic at play in the wide popularity of corrida de toros in Peru. [Turupukllay, Yawar Fiesta, Andes, José Arguedas, bovine idiom, castas] R e s u m e n El turupukllay es una forma popular de toreo en Perú que se desarrolla durante varios días. Su análisis social se ha centrado en gran medida en la dimensión simbólica de su forma más sensacional, la Yawar fiesta, en la que se coloca un cóndor en el lomo del toro. Pero considerar a estos animales solo desde lo simbólico limita el "juego", pues el turupukllay comprende al toro como ser viviente. Con base en el trabajo de campo en Andagua, Perú, argumentamos que jugar con el toro es más extenso: el turupukllay puede entenderse como jugar con la tauromaquia en general, el arte, la vida y la regulación de la tauromaquia española. En Andagua, el turupukllay juega con el toro a través de prácticas de cría locales que lo transforman físicamente mientras se involucra al mismo tiempo en una continua parodia de las características formales de la tauro-
