La costruzione culturale della vita materiale: dono strategico, economie e relazioni informali nei mercati pubblici by Silvia Lelli

“… After a short theoretical introduction that highlights how field research in public street markets provides a contribution to economic-anthropological theories, street markets turn out to be characterized by a dense social interaction, and by complex intersections of multidirectional policies: within them, the effects of economic and administrative macro-policies imposed 'from above' are visible and, at the same time, in reverse, we can detect here aspects of the local social construction that from grass root level influences the exterior, both in forms of organized resistance against disadvantageous imposed policies, and by spontaneously shaping the social interaction pattern and the identity of the urban neighbourhoods where markets are sited. …”
