Description

<p>This paper aims to look at the recent introduction of the large enclosure trap in Shiiba Miyazaki as an ethnographic example to examine how it was developed in a research institute and used in a particular socio-cultural context. By examining that, it will bridge the gap between the existing studies of monkey damages which sought the development of damage control measures, and social scientific studies of monkey damages which focused on people's recognition and practices against vermin problems.</p> <p>The large enclosure trap was developed by an institution called "Monkey Centre" to capture wild monkeys effectively. However, when it was introduced to Shiiba, it was found out that it was not functioning properly and also it became an opportunity for people to recognize the stories of monkey curses stronger than before. By critically examining the actor network theory (ANT), this paper investigates emotional experiences of actors to provide a new perspective to the existing ANT.</p>
