In most societies, the hunting and consumption of certain iconic species carries deep symbolism and is surrounded by ritualised practices. However, the form of these rituals and symbols varies substantially.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Element explores some recurring themes associated with hunting and eating game, such as gender, prestige, and generosity, and traces how these play out in the context of egalitarian versus hierarchical societies, foragers versus farmers, and in different parts of the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOnce people start herding domestic livestock, hunting takes on a new significance as an engagement with what is now defined as the Wild. Foragers do not make this distinction, but their interactions with prey animals are also heavily symbolic. As societies become more stratified, hunting large animals may be partly or entirely reserved for the elite, and hunting practices are elaborated to display and build power.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eHunting and Eating Symbols\u003c\/em\u003e by Nerissa Russell provides a comprehensive exploration of these complex interactions and their historical significance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47934091722988,"sku":"9781009670685","price":213.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/d9929b4be53eb3bb6b10978ce6cfa844.jpg?v=1783906971"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.live\/collections\/nerissa-russell.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
