Abstract
On the basis of her own observations over the last ten years and comparisons with earlier ethnographic descriptions, the author analyzes four phases in ritual haggling. Offering definitions for custom, ritual and performance or play, she distinguishes analytically between the ritual and the performance aspects of such haggling. It is emphasized, however, that in reality these components are indivisible, just as are the utilitarian and symbolic aspects of ritual haggling. The author concludes that the meaning of this ritual lies in a psychological mastery of the conflict between the depersonalized exchange of goods for money, and direct, complex relations of people who live in small (village) communities.
