DEFINITION (1): The kula system is an exchange system in Melanesia (Damon, 2002,p.481).

DEFINITION TYPE: Nominal

DEFINITION WRITER: Deligiannidou Maria

DEFINITION COMMENTS: The kula in... its essential form is itself only the most solemn part of a vast system of prestations and counter-prestations which seem to embrace the whole social life of the Trobrianders (Mauss 1925:26). The kula institution has been central to twentieth-century anthropological theories about society, “primitive” and “modern”, “non Western” and “Western”, “reciprocity-based” versus “market- based” and “gift” versus “commodity” (Damon 2002: 481). -Damon, F., “Kula” in Barnard A. & Spencer J., 1996, Encyclopedia of social and cultural anthropology, Reprint 2002. London & New York: Routledge, σ. 481. -Malinowski, B., 1922, Argonauts of the Western Pacific,London: Routledge -Mauss, M. 1979 (1925), Essai sur le Don. Forme at Raison de l' Echange dans les Societes Archaiques, Annee Sociologique 1923-1924 (ελλ.μτφ. Σταματοπούλου – Παραδέλλη, Το Δώρο.

SOCIAL TERM: Δώρο / Gift

APPROVED DEFINITIONS FOR TERM: 1

TERM TYPE: Theoretical

DEFINITION (1): Marcel Mauss considers the gift as “a total phenomenon” that works to build not just wealth and alliances but social solidarity because “the gift” pervades all aspects of the society. He shows that the gift exchange contains three obligations: to give, to receive, and, most importantly, to reciprocate (Mauss,1979).
