Product Description

Product Description
The theme of the gift can be located at the centre of current discussions of deconstruction, gender and feminist theory, ethics, philosophy, anthropology and economics. This text offers several essays on gifts and gift-giving, and adds to them new essays written for this collection. The list of contributors includes Emerson Helene Cixous, Marshall Sahlins, Pierre Bourdieu, Gayatri Chakrovrty Spivak and Allan Stoekl.

From the Back Cover
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.
