Series: Ethnologie: Forschung und WissenschaftImprint: LIT Verlag
Description
Tauschbeziehungen sind in ihren vielfältigen Formen zentral in der sozialanthropologischen Forschung. Die Autor:innen der 26 Buchbeiträge zeigen auf, wie (materielle) Transaktionen soziale Beziehungen und Institutionen (re)produzieren und transformieren, wie Austauschbeziehungen in Macht- und Schuldverhältnisse eingebettet sind, wie Reziprozität Feldforschungsbeziehungen und interdisziplinäre Zusammenarbeit prägt und wo Tauschbeziehungen enden können. Der Akt des Gebens oder Empfangens einer Gabe ist dabei kein abgeschlossenes Ereignis, sondern Teil einer kontinuierlichen sozialen Beziehung.
Exchange relationships in their many forms are central to social anthropological research. The authors of the 26 book contributions show how (material) transactions (re)produce and transform social relationships and institutions, how exchange relationships are embedded in power and debt relationships, how reciprocity shapes field research relationships and interdisciplinary collaboration, and where exchange relationships can end. The act of giving or receiving a gift is not a finished event, but part of a continuous social relationship.
