Academic profile

The main argument of my thesis concerned the taxinomic and hierarchical power of the gift in the social structure of a Gypsy community (gitanos) of the south of Spain. My research moves now towards the study of the relationship between different forms of the gift in place in different Roma groups and their burial practices.
