AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
The importance of studying the articulation of the different parts of a complex society rather than concentrating on each part separately has long been recognized by anthropologists as a significant step in the overall understanding of that society. In this work Lockwood examines one institution -- the periodic market -- which serves to interrelate different communities within a society. This document focuses simultaneously on the market town of Bugojno and the village of Planinica, both located in the Skoplje Polje region of Bosnia and Herzegovina. The study begins with a general geographic survey of the Skoplje Polje region, then turns to the SELO or village of Planinica describing in turn its social organization, economy, and ethnic boundary maintenance, all of which relate directly to the author's main topics of the periodic market and extra village social relations. This is followed by a detailed study of the CARSIJA or market center of Bugojno, in which the history, formal structure, participants, exchange procedures, etc. are all discussed. The final section of this book examines the marketplace as an integrative mechanism in Bosnian Muslim society.
