This concept is divided into vaga and yotile forms that cannot occur simultaneously. In a book that explores this concept through a long-forgotten gendered lens, Marilyn Strathern emphasizes viewing material things as symbols of persons to understand this concept’s namesake “economy.” This concept directly conveys the social status of the “big man” which was studied along with the political types of “poor man” and “rich man” in a Marshall Sahlins essay. This title concept is called a (*) “total prestation” in a book (10[1])that rejects (10[1])its voluntariness in modern society. This concept is a typical entry point into anthropological study of Melanesian cultures and it titles Marcel Mauss’s seminal work on the Kula exchange as a form of balanced reciprocity. For 10 points, name this concept that describes giving goods away (10[1])without explicit compensation. ■END■
