The Na'vi as Spiritual Hunters: A Semiotic ExplorationPat MundayDeploying what he calls "postmodern semiotics,"ÃfâEURSÃ,Â? science and technology professor Pat Munday focuses on the affinities between the hunting practices of the indigenous Na'vi and those of non-indigenous American hunters. He pays special attention to gender, noting that Na'vi hunters are both male and female, as are contemporary American hunters, both indigenous and non-indigenous. Munday finds in the practice of hunting a spiritual alternative to the dualisms of mainstream Western culture. He suggests, moreover, that such a spiritual hunting practice has affinities with the animistic spirituality expressed in Avatar and that this frame makes sense in the light of biophilia hypotheses.
