| Description: | I have often been at pains to explain to different audiences what I mean exactly by a ‘sensori-motor culture propped against material culture’— an admittedly obscure expression, yet central to my endeavours.1 I came to elaborate on an example which speaks to most people. It concerns the incompatibility of temper between hunters and conservationists. I will not concern myself with the most violent and spectacular manifestations of their arguments in France: the slaughter of protected wildlife in the swamps of the Grande Brière, or the destruction of miradors used in pigeon shooting. There are similar cases in Great Britain, especially related to the ban on fox hunting. Like all such radical actions, they are performed by small if vocal minorities, and they are less signi cant than the dissatisfaction of reasonable people. There are indeed reasonable hunters, just as there are reasonable conservationists. |
