Abstract: The present article looks at the meaning of gift-giving when it is performed via free online recycling websites. Underpinned by research on the difficulties inherent to giving, our paper illustrates how these websites remove the difficulties inherent in giving to kith, kin or to charities.

Keywords: Gift economy; online giving; gifts to distant others; disposition; recognition; recycling objects.; Economie du don; don en ligne; don à un étranger; relation donneur-receveur; reconnaissance; relation aux objets; seconde vie d'un objet. (search for similar items in EconPapers)
