An inconvenient truth about accounting
No full textThis paper considers the impact of the Kyoto protocol on countries, business entities and individuals, and if the accounting profession is ready to meet the challenges brought about as countries enact carbon trading legislation. An inconvenient truth is that the measurement, reporting and assurance frameworks developed in financial accounting and auditing actually hinders the role the profession can play in reducing global warming. Management accounting reporting has no such constraints.

Narratives of tradition : the invention of mounted bullfighting as 'the newest but also the oldest'
No full textIn this article I consider the bottom-up, narrative process through which traditions are invented, using rejoneo (mounted bullfighting) as a case study. I explore the construction of rejoneo as "the newest but also the oldest" form of bullfighting. To understand this apparent contradiction, I synthesize "narratives of tradition" with Eric Hobsbawm and Terence Ranger's (1995 [1983]) "invented tradition." In doing so, I consider rejoneo through multiple and overlapping narratives structured into historical "chapters" with common narrative elements of heroes, villains, tragic downfalls, and triumphant comebacks. These narratives are contextualized in periods of intense social, political, and economic transformation in Spain over the past three centuries. This article combines a review of the lay and expert understandings of the history of the Spanish bullfight with ethnographic fieldwork undertaken with mounted bullfighters in Andalusia from 2000 and 2001. It redresses a significant lack of attention to the mounted bullfight in relation to the footed bullfight, thereby contributing to a more comprehensive literature of bullfighting in Spain. Moreover, this article provides a model for understanding that one of the ways traditions are invented is through narratives of tradition, contextualized by the wider social, political, and economic forces emphasized by the invented traditions approach.
