    Abstract: This book concerns barter, a transaction in which objects are exchanged directly for one another without the use of money. Economists treat barter as an inefficient alternative to market exchange, and assume that it is normal only in 'primitive' economies or marks the breakdown of more developed exchange mechanisms. For their part, anthropologists have been more interested in the social and moral complexities of the 'gift', and treat barter dismissively as mere haggling. The authors of this collection do not accept that barter occupies a residual space between monetary and gift economies. Using accounts from different parts of the world, they aim to demonstrate that it is more than a simple and self-evident economic institution. Barter may constitute a mode of exchange with its own social characteristics occupying a specific moral space. This novel treatment of barter represents an original and topical addition to the literature on economic anthropology.

    Abstract: The domestic unit is inseparable from its homestead, and the 'house', at once a physical place and a social unit, is often also a unit of production and consumption, a cult group, and even a political faction. Inspired by Lévi-Strauss's suggestion that the multi-functional noble houses of medieval Europe were simply the best-known examples of a widespread social institution, the contributors to this collection analyse 'house' systems in Southeast Asia and South America, exploring the interrelationships between buildings, people, and ideas. They reveal some of the ways in which houses can stand for social groups and serve as images of process and order.

    Abstract: The Tukano are a group of tribes that occupy the tropical forest areas of the Comisaría del Vaupés within southeastern Colombia and northwestern Brazil. This file consists of 17 documents covering the time period from 1939 to 1980. Silva's ethnographic account is the most comprehensive. The three Fulop publications, used in conjunction with those by Sorensen and Reichel-Dolmatoff provide supplemental data on kinship terminology, folktales and myths, cosmology, shamanism, agriculture, and multilingualism and tribal exogamy. The remaining documents relate to the Cubeo, Bará, Makuna, Desana, Barasana, and Wanano
