ABSTRACT

Contemporary social theory has forcefully argued for a ‘loving’ postenvironmentalism based on intimate care and making kin with the non-human world. These arguments are a central part of an influential and cross-disciplinary scholarly discourse, increasingly adopted by environmental anthropologists, that envisions a universal moral ecology of ‘care, love and kinship’ as the solution to the near-apocalyptic social and environmental conditions of the Anthropocene. Drawing on ethnographic work in the Philippines, I explore how this narrowed affective repertoire maps awkwardly onto indigenous Pala’wan explanations of their relationship with the non-human world where reciprocity and respect are held in tension with fear, violence and death. I focus, in particular, on the Palawan bearded pig (Sus ahoenobarbus), an endemic species that has become an emblematic conservation species while also being extensively hunted by indigenous peoples across the Island.

摘要

当代社会理论有力地主张一种基于亲密关怀和与非人类世界亲近的“爱”后环保主义。这些论点是一个有影响力的跨学科学术话语的核心部分，越来越多地被环境人类学家采用，它设想一种“关怀、爱和亲属关系”的普遍道德生态学作为解决人类近乎世界末日的社会和环境条件的方法。人类世。借鉴菲律宾的民族志工作，我探讨了这种狭窄的情感曲目如何尴尬地映射到土著巴拉望岛对他们与非人类世界的关系的解释，在这个非人类世界中，互惠和尊重与恐惧、暴力和死亡保持紧张。我特别关注巴拉望胡须猪（Sus ahoenobarbus)，一种特有物种，已成为标志性的保护物种，同时也被岛上的土著人民广泛猎杀。
