Maggiori informazioni sul libro

The book explores the significance of gift-giving practices in contemporary Western society, highlighting their role in social life and theoretical frameworks by Durkheim, Weber, and social constructionists like Berger and Luckmann. Through a comprehensive study, it reveals that women are more active gift-givers than men, emphasizing the connection between emotions, interests, and the gift economy. The author ties these insights to broader discussions on family, gender, and religion, using individual case histories to illustrate general themes in gift rituals.
