Labor\nexchange is defined here as the exchange of labor in which\nassistance has to be more or less precisely reciprocated by that of\nthe same kind and quantity in a short time period, e.g., one day\nof plowing assistance for one day of plowing assistance during a\ncultivation season.\nLabor exchange in peasant agriculture is usually organized\nby individual households to achieve an optimal mobilization of\nlabor for certain agricultural operations. This mobilization\nresults both in minimizing the costs (drudgery and wages) of\npeasant production and in maximizing the exploitation of household\nlabor. Except in a few cases, any symbolic expression of\nparticular socio-cultural messages between the host and the\nhelper is of secondary importance. Labor exchange is thus a\nkind of economic exchange in a neoclassical sense. However,\nsince the rate of exchange is institutionally fixed at one for the\nprecise reciprocity, it is of course not governed by market\nmechanisms. In other words, although exchange labor is a\nscarce resource, particularly during the times of peak demand\nfor labor in peasant agricultural production, the difference\nbetween demand and supply of exchange labor is not mediated\nwith varying rates of exchange. As a consequence, the following\ntwo questions must be examined to understand labor exchange\nbehavior. The first is how the difference between demand\nand supply of exchange labor is mediated at the individual\nhousehold level. The second is how the flow of exchange labor\nis determined in a locality. However, few studies in anthro-\npology and mainstream economics have examined these questions,\nbecause their models and concepts have not been developed to\nanalyze reciprocal economic behavior, such as the labor exchange\ndiscussed here. It is in this context that labor exchange in\nSinhalese agrarian settlements is examined in this article.\nI attempt to analyze labor exchange behavior as a maximization\n(or economization) process in peasant agricultural\nproduction within the wider political-economic setting of Sri\nLanka. The empirical focus is on the decision making process\nregarding labor exchange and complementary labor mobilization,\nin order to understand the causes and consequences of the choices\nthat the peasant households make to meet the demand for labor\nmobilization. For this purpose, the natural decision making\napproach is employed here, together with ethnographic observation.\nThe bulk of empirical analyses on various phases of\nlabor exchange shows that at the individual household level\nthe difference between demand and supply of exchange labor\nis largely mediated through exploration for exchange labor,\nin which each household forms a relatively fixed network of\nlabor exchange and (often competitively) organizes it within\nthe network. It further shows that the relative degree of\ntolerance of imbalance in labor exchange affects both the mediation\nbetween demand and supply of exchange labor at the\nindividual household level and the flow of exchange labor in\nthe locality. Based on the above analyses and findings, this\narticle finally argues that labor exchange, rooted in history and\ncustom as a pre-capitalist mode of labor organization, cannot\nbe regarded simply as a cultural lag or hangover from a precapitalist\neconomy; labor exchange is rather an adaptive response\nmade by peasant households to their current ecological, economic\nand social conditions. This further suggests that the model\npresented here, although an empirical model of labor exchange\nin Sinhalese peasant agriculture, will guide research endeavor\non various kinds of reciprocal economic exchange yet to be\nexamined.","subitem_description_type":"Abstract"}]},"item_9_identifier_registration":{"attribute_name":"ID登録","attribute_value_mlt":[{"subitem_identifier_reg_text":"10.15021/00004317","subitem_identifier_reg_type":"JaLC"}]},"item_9_publisher_33":{"attribute_name":"出版者","attribute_value_mlt":[{"subitem_publisher":"国立民族学博物館"}]},"item_9_publisher_34":{"attribute_name":"出版者（英）","attribute_value_mlt":[{"subitem_publisher":"National Museum of Ethnology"}]},"item_9_source_id_10":{"attribute_name":"書誌レコードID","attribute_value_mlt":[{"subitem_source_identifier":"AN00091943","subitem_source_identifier_type":"NCID"}]},"item_9_source_id_8":{"attribute_name":"ISSN","attribute_value_mlt":[{"subitem_source_identifier":"0385-180X","subitem_source_identifier_type":"ISSN"}]},"item_9_version_type_16":{"attribute_name":"著者版フラグ","attribute_value_mlt":[{"subitem_version_resource":"http://purl.org/coar/version/c_970fb48d4fbd8a85","subitem_version_type":"VoR"}]},"item_creator":{"attribute_name":"著者","attribute_type":"creator","attribute_value_mlt":[{"creatorNames":[{"creatorName":"足立, 明"},{"creatorName":"アダチ, アキラ","creatorNameLang":"ja-Kana"},{"creatorName":"Adachi, Akira","creatorNameLang":"en"}],"nameIdentifiers":[{}]}]},"item_files":{"attribute_name":"ファイル情報","attribute_type":"file","attribute_value_mlt":[{"accessrole":"open_date","date":[{"dateType":"Available","dateValue":"2015-11-19"}],"displaytype":"detail","filename":"KH013_3_002.pdf","filesize":[{"value":"4.4 MB"}],"format":"application/pdf","licensetype":"license_note","mimetype":"application/pdf","url":{"label":"KH013_3_002.pdf","url":"https://minpaku.repo.nii.ac.jp/record/4325/files/KH013_3_002.pdf"},"version_id":"6a1fddd4-7819-4c1f-8d2d-b4d7925d9466"}]},"item_language":{"attribute_name":"言語","attribute_value_mlt":[{"subitem_language":"jpn"}]},"item_resource_type":{"attribute_name":"資源タイプ","attribute_value_mlt":[{"resourcetype":"departmental bulletin paper","resourceuri":"http://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_6501"}]},"item_title":"シンハラ農村の労働交換体系","item_titles":{"attribute_name":"タイトル","attribute_value_mlt":[{"subitem_title":"シンハラ農村の労働交換体系"},{"subitem_title":"Labor Exchange System in Sinhalese Agrarian Settlements","subitem_title_language":"en"}]},"item_type_id":"9","owner":"17","path":["452"],"pubdate":{"attribute_name":"公開日","attribute_value":"2010-02-16"},"publish_date":"2010-02-16","publish_status":"0","recid":"4325","relation_version_is_last":true,"title":["シンハラ農村の労働交換体系"],"weko_creator_id":"17","weko_shared_id":-1},"updated":"2023-06-20T19:27:56.486011+00:00"}
