How is the act of hunting down a specified man-eater is dispensed with in a landscape in which several big cats co-exist, most of which are not man-eaters? How is certain knowledge of the guilt of a big cat arrived at anterior to its killing? This talk constitutes a study of the various methods through which hunters, bureaucrats, locals, scientists, conservationists, and other actors identify a specific, individual man-eater.
Nayanika Mathur is Associate Professor in the Anthropology of South Asia. She is currently writing a book on multispecies ethnography, climate change, and human-big cat conflict in the South Asian Anthropocene.
