abstract = {The paper expounds a non-cooperative game that can be interpreted as a model of the system of kula that was described by Bronislaw Malinowski in his Argonauts of the Western Pacific. The game of kula is an infinite-horizon game with an arbitrary, but fixed, number n of players. It generates pure norms of direct reciprocity, pure norms of indirect reciprocity, and mixed norms whereby a player who deviates is punished both by the individual who has been harmed and by a third party.},

abstract = {The Kula ring described by Bronislaw Malinowski is a system of the ceremonial exchange of gifts among a number of tribal societies inhabiting various island groups in the region east of Papua New Guinea. Two ceremonial gifts continually circulate in opposite directions: necklaces clockwise and armshells counterclockwise. After a brief description of the social system of Kula exchange, a game-theoretic interpretation of the ceremonial exchange as a signaling system for peaceful relationships among potentially hostile communities, with inbuilt checks against cheating, is given. A simulation model of the starting mechanism is presented to account for the emergence and stability of the observed pattern of circular exchange of the two ceremonial gifts. Distinguishing among different “historical” phases in the development leads to a decisive improvement of the model. The article closes with a discussion of the limits and future directions of research.},

abstract = {This article shows how the production of kula valuables and, through their circulation, the naming of persons becomes the preeminent form of wealth for the people of Muyuw, Woodlark Island, in the northeast corner of the Kula Ring in Papua New Guinea. The first half of the argument describes the circulation forms of the kula in the context of the last thirty years of exchange theory as it has been reformulated through the reading of Karl Marx. The second half of the article describes the metonymic and metaphoric transformations entailed by persons naming valuables and becoming named through their circulation throughout the regional system that is the kula.},

abstract = {This article discusses the existence of property rights in ritual symbolism, focusing particularly on disputes over these rights. A universe of such right is comparable in certain respects to a prestige economy such as the Kula system. They both manifest the same conception of property as a symbolic representation of persons. Both involve contests for the control of high-status forms of property, between political actors competing for prestige and legitimacy. Some illustrations are given of the uses of this perspective in analysing processes of change in ritual systems.},

abstract = {Focusing on certain cultural practices in which spatiotemporally distanced events become meaning horizons of an actor's immediate situation or 'present', this article uses a single case to explore some aspects of the construction of a regional, lived world. The case derives from an inter-island kula transaction in the northeast Massim region of Papua New Guinea, and shows how, through witchcraft assumptions, Gawans incorporated this event into later local Gawan events and relations, variously infusing the latter with translocal meanings. In analysing some of the ways in which events were brought into connexion (and renewed connexion) with each other over a six-year period, I suggest a particular theoretical framework for viewing such micro-historical, symbolic processes.},

abstract = {As anthropologists are reading Marx, sociologists are beginning to read Levi-Strauss. Based on an analysis of the Kula, this article attempts to place Levi-Strauss's first major work in light of neomarxist thought. It is suggested that 'kinship' for Levi-Strauss occupies a place in some kinds of societies analogous to that of 'capital' in capitalist society according to Marx. But using data from the Kula it is shown that such a perspective ignores the question of how 'production' articulates with 'circulation'. Although certain aspects of the Kula may be comprehended in terms of generalised and restricted exchange, the postulated contradiction in generalised exchange does not account for the Kula's dynamics. 'Ownership', derived from the sphere of production, not 'reciprocity', accounts for the Kula's dynamics.},
