书籍介绍
In the most original and ambitious synthesis yet undertaken in Melanesian scholarship, Marilyn Strathern argues that gender relations have been a particular casualty of unexamined assumptions held by Western anthropologists and feminist scholars alike. The book treats with equal seriousness - and with equal good humor - the insights of Western social science, feminist politics, and ethnographic reporting, in order to rethink the representation of Melanesian social and cultural life. This makes "The Gender of the Gift" one of the most sustained critiques of cross-cultural comparison that anthropology has seen, and one of its most spirited vindications.

这里的gender不是queer理论中变来变去的gender，而是类似于文论中的互文性（inter-textuality），是一种只有建立在sociality之上才可能产生的gender，所以应该叫inter-genderity？
几本真正的入门书之一啦
杜姗姗那本居然没有引用这本；mutual interdependence。identity is an outcome of interaction. 这本真牛，之前读strathern 没有这种感觉，这本是从头到尾都Amazing.不要被一些观念限制了，比如gender区隔，value，labor，分工和property，生产者和产品的关系（异化和剥削），public-private限制了看法和角度。不能想当然的套用概念. action is social effect, a mutual estimation of value。后面对weinner 的评论和当地的procreation需要再看
导论好精彩啊，所谓普遍的象征性二元结构不过是“西方”话语霸权。
