Synopsis
First published in 1997. Routledge is an imprint of Taylor & Francis, an informa company.
Synopsis
The theme of the gift can be located at the center of current discussions of deconstruction, gender and feminist theory, ethics, philosophy, anthropology, and economics: it is, simply, one of the primary focal points at which contemporary interdisciplinary discourses intersect. Into this context comes a new, indispensable volume. "The Logic of the Gift" offers several important essays on gifts and gift-giving that are often referred to but seldom read, and adds to them new essays written especially for this collection.
Description
Includes bibliographical references (p. 327-330) and index.
