Hunting is among the classic anthropological subjects and has been typically analysed within the empirical and conceptual frame of hunter-gatherer societies. However, the discipline’s depiction of “Man the Hunter” in the contemporary world has significant blind spots. Certain regions are emphasised over others, for instance, Africa compared to Europe. And the study of subsistence hunting is privileged over an array of hunting subjects, whether recreational pastimes, wildlife management, bushmeat industry, or other emerging practices and practitioners within shifting political, economic, and ecological contexts. In this workshop we aim to address these oversights and develop a more inclusive and up to date anthropology of hunting, one that re-interprets classic questions and topics, defines new research sites and analytical problems, and importantly, reconsiders the question “what is hunting?”
