Abstract
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.
