Abstract
This article is concerned with locally functioning exchange practices among rural households in Sarijati, a village in Central Java. It shows that exchange among rural households in this village express and produce gendered social practices as well as a rationale for local morality. Ethnographic evidence for this argument comes from a closer analysis of the various reasons male and female heads of household give for participating in different types of exchange including work parties, informal rotating credit/saving groups, and ocassional gifting and organizing feasts.
