ABSTRACT

This paper focuses on the relationships between subsistence hunting and sustainability from an anthropological perspective. We analyze sustainability as a form of social reproduction affected by tensions between conservation, production, rural lives and hunting. The work was carried out in Paso Centurión (north-eastern Uruguay), an area that is undergoing a process of environmentalization, where interests of conservation groups, sports hunters, wood industry and subsistence hunting come together. Based on an ethnographic fieldwork we propose that subsistence hunting should be considered as a practice that involves social, cultural and environmental engagements between humans and animals. Thinking about sustainability from that perspective makes it more robust than other logics present in the area focused on ecology or food security.

摘要

本文从人类学的角度着眼于谋生和可持续性之间的关系。我们将可持续性视为受保护，生产，农村生活和狩猎之间的紧张关系影响的一种社会再生产形式。这项工作是在PasoCenturión（乌拉圭东北部）进行的，该地区正在经历环境保护的过程，保护团体，体育狩猎者，木材工业和自谋生计的利益汇聚一堂。基于人种志的田野调查，我们建议应该将生存狩猎作为一种涉及人类与动物之间的社会，文化和环境参与的实践。从这个角度考虑可持续性，使其比现存于生态或粮食安全领域的其他逻辑更为健壮。
