Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the fascinating world of gift-giving in ancient societies, delving into the complex rituals and obligations that surrounded the act of giving and receiving. The author examines how gifts, far from being simple expressions of generosity, served as a powerful tool for establishing social relationships, maintaining order, and even influencing the supernatural. The book draws on a wide range of ethnographic material, including accounts of Polynesian cultures, the Trobriand Islanders, and even the Andamanese pygmies, to illustrate the interconnectedness of gifts with economic, legal, and religious spheres. The author reveals how the act of giving, receiving, and repaying gifts created a web of social obligations that went far beyond simple economic transactions. The book provides a unique perspective on the morality and psychology of exchange, demonstrating how seemingly simple acts of giving can reveal profound insights into the nature of human society and its underlying structures. The author's research reveals that the practice of gift-giving, far from being a relic of the past, holds crucial lessons for understanding the social forces that shape our own world. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Codice articolo 9781332233311_0
