Dear Cameron, Apologies for delay in my reply. Many thanks for the links and information. These are relevant. I have read Belk’s papers. He presents important conceptual views on sharing. But I also find some problems in how he differentiates ‘True Sharing’ from ‘Pseudo Sharing’ based on concepts of: (a) ownership (shared ownership vs others modes of ownership), (b) role of money (monetary as exchange vs non-monetary as sharing), and (c) reciprocity (sharing as non-reciprocal while other exchanges being reciprocal). Belk’s categorisation seems too strict and creates rigid boundaries in differentiating ‘sharing’ from ‘gifting’ and ‘commodity exchange’. I wonder what are your views on differentiating ‘sharing’ from what is not sharing.

If you know of theoretical articles or case-studies from anthropology discussing Sharing Economy then please pass on the information. I will greatly appreciate your help. Further, any information about designers and researchers also working on the topic of sharing would be of a great help. > > > ----------------------------------------------------------------- > PhD-Design mailing list <[log in to unmask]> > Discussion of PhD studies and related research in Design > Subscribe or Unsubscribe at https://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/phd-design > ----------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------- PhD-Design mailing list <[log in to unmask]> Discussion of PhD studies and related research in Design Subscribe or Unsubscribe at https://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/phd-design -----------------------------------------------------------------
