Social and Epistemological Dimensions of Learning Among Nayaka Hunter-Gatherers
This chapter explores patterns of knowing and learning, among Nayaka hunter-gatherers (South India). I will argue that knowing and learning is embedded within two main contexts. One is personal experimentation, which often involves processes of trial and error. The second context is engagement with others in which learning is not a singularized event and knowledge is not objectified out of actual experience and actual relations. In both contexts,…
How persons become things: Economic and epistemological changes among Nayaka hunter-gatherers
The ontologies and epistemologies of hunter-gatherers have attracted growing attention in recent years as these people are undergoing changes. We examine these changes, focusing on one particular case based on our studies of the South Indian Nayaka; they have recently added cultivation and animal husbandry to their partially ongoing hunting and gathering life-style. Resisting analysis based on an assumed forest/domesticated dichotomy, we show tha…
Relational Epistemology, Immediacy, and Conservation: Or, What Do the Nayaka Try to Conserve
In this paper we ask whether and in what way Animism relates to conservation, with focus on one group, the Nayaka of South India. We argue that in order to pursue this question one must first recognize the immediate quality of Nayaka Animism as well as some important aspects in their relational epistemology (Bird-David 1999a, 2006). Our analysis shows that Nayaka are not committed to conserve their environment. Their concern lies mainly with keep…
PPNA Jericho: A Socio-political Perspective
A reexamination of the published data concerning PPNA Jericho is used to demonstrate that various building operations, especially the monumental buildings, were actively functioning in several social spheres, both at the inter-group and intra-group levels. At the inter-group level, the monumental buildings served as a means to establish a hold over an area with favourable resources. At the intra-group level, they functioned in founding and regula…
