| See Bronislaw Malinowski, Argonauts of the Western Pacific (New York, 1961); Marcel Mauss, The Gift, translated by Ian Cunnison (New York, 1967); and Marshall Sahlins, Stone Age Economics (New York, 1972). And although Wilson draws fleetingly on the writings of Gananath Obeyesekere and Greg Dening, he ignores the contribution of Marshall Sahlins to the debate on Western representations of Hawai'ianness, perhaps because Sahlins is frowned on in nationalist circles. For the application of such theory to the study of consumption, see Jean Baudrillard, Le Systeme des Objets (Paris, 1986) and Marshall Sahlins, Culture and Practical Reason (Chicago, 1976). |
