- | ## Tiv spheres of exchange | ||
- | |||
- | Everything of value would be **embedded** in social relationships. | ||
- | |||
- | In many societies the **embeddedness** of value takes the form of a system that organizes objects into distinct, ranked [[: | ||
- | |||
- | 1. Women as wives | ||
- | 2. Prestige items: brass rods, tugudu cloth, slaves | ||
- | 3. Subsistence items: food, utensils, chickens, tools | ||
- | |||
- | Some things, like land, cannot be exchanged for anything, but are inherited (Bohannan 1955). | ||
- | |||
- | ## Relationships can be organized into spheres, too | ||
- | |||
- | We can take the idea of spheres of exchange and apply it to the different ways people exchange: | ||
- | |||
- | * Kula valuables (bagi, mwali) are a sphere of exchange. These objects can only be exchanged for each other, and not for anything else. | ||
- | * Moreover, one only does kula with certain kula partners, and one must keep one's kula exchanges separate from other kinds of exchanges with other people, like barter. | ||
