consider at least two of these question groups to analyze the article: What type of exchange do you think Piot is examining? What is the purpose of

the Ikpanture relationship? How does it develop? When did it develop historically? According to Piot, how does agency and hierarchy figure into

Ikpanture? If for Kabre persons exchange is the expectation of behavior (norm), then how are those who don’t exchange conceptualized? What

does Piot mean when he says: “there is a striking similarity between the economy of the witch and that of the capitalist; both involve the conversion

of persons into things – the consumption of persons by things…both represent an inversion of the logic and aims of gift exchange.” (p. 68).
