Summary:

Colleagues mostly from the Anglophone world pay tribute to prominent French anthropologist Godelier, emphasizing the diversity of approaches, fields, and domains he draws from. Among the topics are linguistic material and marital exchange in the construction of Melanesian societies, anthropology and the future of sexuality studies, what is left out in kinship, Godelier and the Asiatic mode, and the dialectic of cosmopolitanization and indigenization in the contemporary world system.
