Culture/economy and spaces of economic practice : positioning households in post-communism

Auteur :
SMITH, A.

Description :
Through an exploration of the spaces of household economic practice concerned with food production on family plots of land and with inter-household networks of reciprocity, the paper argues that such activities can be better situated within the context of the articulation between deep-seated and long-standing economic practices imbued with cultural significance. It explores the inter-section of these cultural and economic practices through the lens of non-market production of surplus product in and between households. The research is with households in two contrasting sites in Slovakia.
