Cosmos and Society in Oceania
The Exchanges of Each Society Considered as a Whole
The initiation ritual is said to be ‘the most important part of custom’ and ‘the most exalted exchange, since pigs are slaughtered on the platform’. The ritual unfolds in three principal stages and affects the society as a whole, while at the same time settling the fate of children and pigs. The constitutive distinctions of human society, among villages and among the inhabitants of a single village, are dissolved; only the distinction between men…
Exchanges, Wholes, Comparison
Our analysis of the exchanges practised by four very different societies incites us now to attempt a comparison which, as we have already indicated, must treat each society in its entirety, not specific traits detached from the whole which alone gives them meaning. The Iqar’iyen, for whom women constitute a forbidden domain, assign no value whatsoever to the exchange of women. The two Melanesian societies place greater stress on exchanges of taro…
The Vocabulary of Exchanges
Among the Orokaiva, the terms used in speaking of exchanges do not always describe them with the same degree of generality. Thus, the prestations which open the initiation, marriage and funeral rituals have no generic name, although analysis demonstrates that they form a well-defined class. The hidden forces originating in the first feast-giver’s/o are thus subordinated to the exchange system, since in the end a superior, social meaning has been …
Collective Introduction to La Monnaie souveraine
Of Relations and the Dead: Four Societies Viewed from the Angle of Their Exchanges
Exchanges are fundamental to human societies. The authors show that the study of exchanges not only serves as a key to understanding particular societies as totalities but also helps to frame a comparative mode of analysis expressed in terms of a hierarchy of values. Starting with a comparative analysis of the different vocabularies used when dealing with exchange, the authors go on to provide a detailed account of how each society's exchanges fo…

The society as an ultimate value and the socio-cosmic configuration
In modern ideology the individual is felt to be the ultimate value. This feature is documented in two of its long-lasting developments which lend progressively to disregard society as a coherent whole. First the quest for freedom as stated according to the Human Rights perspective opened by the Enlightenment. Second the Middle Ages' tendency to relegate society to the "mystical body" of Christ and of king. Holistic ideologies, in contrast to mode…
