狩猎 episodes

《萨满造型艺术》第38-39页：“猎人为了麻痹和接近野兽，经常采用种种伪装，其中包括戴动物头或面具，仿效动物鸣叫。《啸亭杂录》卷一记载：乾隆木兰行猎，‘入深山叠嶂中寻觅鹿群，命一侍御假鹿头作呦呦之声，引X（字不认识打不出）鹿，急发箭X（这字也不认识）毙。’《钦定热河志》卷四记载：‘各戴鹿首为前导。’所谓‘假鹿头’、‘鹿首’，皆为鹿面具…近代鄂伦春族、鄂温克族都曾用鹿面具狩猎，后改为鹿头帽、狍角帽。”

Mesolithic Britain and Ireland (eds) 第106页: The antler frontlets discovered deposited into the lake edge at Star Carr, which had been clearly been modified in order that they could be worn by humans, were considered by Clark to have been either headdress for use in ritual dances of a shamanistic nature or as devices to aid in hunting…Yet ethnographically, this has been shown to be the case and the photograph reproduced here (下图) shows an Apache hunter actually stalking deer in this way.

The Gods of Prehistoric Man (页数 unknown): Maringer, having studied the imagery of the Upper Palaeolithic period, stated: the conduct of the hunt itself required that the hunter imitate the game; only in this manner could he stalk the timid and fleet-footed beasts and come within shooting distance. But to make the camouflage fully effective, he must to some extent himself become the animal.

大概一个月前，我短暂地进入了秘鲁亚马逊支流Madre de Dios湾的Puerto Maldonado雨林。那天向导Franklyn带我们进林子观鸟、找猴子，边走我边问Frankie，你怎么知道鸟和猴子在哪里？Frankie说用耳朵听，林子里的猴子用叫声传递信息。鬼使神差，我问，do you speak their languages? Frankie大笑，说他不会，但他熟悉雨林里的动物和植物。我沉默地走了会儿泥路，在想什么叫熟悉？熟悉雨林是怎么个熟悉法？看来他们不需要语言”来感知/了解彼此。我在雨林里，又聋又哑，毫无方向。因为是雨季，经常能听见森林深处传来轰鸣的雨声，一步步逼近我们。Frankie说，他要是猴子就往森林那边跑（我分不清那边是哪边），然后带我们走和猴子一样的路。走了大约半小时，我们见到了许许多多的猴子，一拨一拨在树上，和我们一样，好像在赶路。傍晚，我疲惫、安全地爬回木屋，瘫倒在吊床上，反复地想Frankie说，“如果我是猴子，我就往那边跑”，反复地想，然后就睡着了。醒来我和Frankie说，我took了一个two-hour nap。他嘲笑我英语没学好，nap都不超过半小时的。这成了我和他之间的梗。我不是个猎人，Frankie也不是，我们手上没有武器。但我们带了相机和眼睛，we were hunting for the truth。
