Abstract

Hunting has and continues to visualize, reinforce, and establish asymmetrical differences according to species, class, gender, race, religion, and other categories. This multidimensionality of hierarchies is an essential feature of the cultural history of hunting, both within and beyond Europe. Depending on the context, these various dimensions could be mutually interrelated and reinforce each other. This section introduction illustrates this phenomenon of interrelation by focusing on Black women as a particularly vulnerable group that has been repeatedly marginalized by hunting and therefore often remains invisible in written and visual accounts. Taking Kimberlé Crenshaw as a starting point, we outline the necessity and difficulty of making the cultural history of hunting the subject of intersectional studies.
