Subsistence: The Kung and other Hunter Gatherers and The Hillbilly
Survival
1) After viewing the video of one traveller’s experience among the Kung San about the
way that the !Kung hunt and forage for subsistence, analyze and sort the technological
strategies into the categories of knowledge, skills, and tools….i.e. what exactly is the
skill set the !Kung employ to find and process food What are they comfronting today now that their traditional ways are no longer available to them??
MAke this distinction as you create your analysis – How much of it is cultural
knowledge, versus actual tools for gaining subsistence? Be clear about this
distinction. Make sure you understand it allowing us to see the complexities of cultural
knowledge and adaptation.
2) Now evaluate this in comparison to what is required to procure food in the memoir
Hillbilly Elegy, for example, or for us. Remember we need money to procure food
because most of us do not produce food ourselves. We don’t grow it or raise animals,
we don’t forage in the wild for it either, but we do require it and there are various jobs
we do to be able to buy food that someone else has grown or raised. There are also
relationships we maintain for this purpose. How much of what we do to subsist is
cultural knowledge versus actual tools for getting food?
So what do we need to know? what kind of knowledge is it?
And what happens to people in our culture who have less access to this type of
knowledge?
The history of the Appalachian farmers, turned first coal miner or steel worker, then
turned rural and urban poor, is the story of self reliant agrarian (living off the land)
people losing their attachment to the land. In Appalachia the land was bought up by US
companies to mine coal and then displaced farmers were used to mine the coal or
found work in the steel industries. The Appalachian natives’ knowledge of their land
became obsolete, useless, and their subsistence pattern challenged. What does this
tell us about the likely future for the Kung?
