F. Verdeaux—~~Belonging to/Depending from : the Age-Set System of the Aizi (Lower Ivory Coast).~~ A reconsideration of the age-set and lineage systems and of their combination in a matrilineal society. The network of interpersonal relations of dependence is encoded in the age-set system which ensures the institutionalization of men's status as social seniors or juniors—otherwise exchangers/exchangees. If children, rather than women, are considered as the ultimate object of exchange, the 'wife-giver', in the Aizi example, becomes, so to speak, a descipient of descendants. The momentary dependence on the father under-scores the belonging to the MS's lineage: the two notions cannot be taken apart from each other. Source : Éditeur (via Persée) |
