Comments on: Amy Goodman, Stephen Colbert, Embedded Journalism and the Gift Economy https://www.kellyhills.com/amy-goodman-stephen-colbert-embedded-journalism-and-the-gift-economy/ "the hardest thing in this world is to live in it" Fri, 13 Oct 2006 06:32:30 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.1.6 By: Gordon https://www.kellyhills.com/amy-goodman-stephen-colbert-embedded-journalism-and-the-gift-economy/#comment-6456 Fri, 13 Oct 2006 06:32:30 +0000 http://www.kellyhills.com/blog/?p=547#comment-6456 Marcel Mauss has a book called “The Gift”. This is a was an anthropological study of gift economy in “archaic” societies.

Another important text was Marshall Sahlins “Stone Age Economics” (1972).

Georges Bataille “The Accursed Share” is another landmark work that develops the notion of “Potlatch” and the excess in gift economy.

A lot of it comes from the field of antropology. I am sure there are many secondary texts out there as well.

Another good place to start is at the Wikipedia article for Gift Economy

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gift_economy

Hope that helps.

A quick google/amazon search didn’t turn up much. I’d be very interested in reading more…

I actually spent too long last night looking for my gift theory books, to the detriment of studying for today’s Husserl exam (can I whine and say “I’m a grad student, I shouldn’t have to take tests!”?), and gave up after realizing my office still looks like a hurricane ran through on its way to Florida. But yes, there is a pretty explicit clause to the embedded journalist gift exchange, where there is no way to reciprocate the gift. Some might argue that positive press does, since it has an influence on a large number of people, but I think that’s got to be too intangible to factor in heavily enough to tilt scales away from the immediacy of life/death.

I would add that what is significant in the “gift” of safety offered to embedded journalists is that the gift can not be superceded. There is no higher order gift, and thus it is an impossible exchange. Perhaps the only return is the gift of a journalist laying down his or her life for the solider who protects. Taking a bullet or suicide bomber attack for example. This ultimately puts the journalist in an impossible exchange vis a vis the soldiers.
