Reading the following passage carefully and answer the questions below:
"Each primitive culture is a universe to ,Following Franz Steiner's advice in Taboo, I start interpreting rules of uncleanness by placing them in the full context of the range of dangers possible in any given universe. Everything that can happen to a man in the way of disaster should be catalogued according to the active principles involved in the universe of his particular culture. Sometimes words trigger off cataclysms, sometimes acts, sometimes physical conditions. Some dangers are great and others small. We cannot start to compare primitive religions until we know the range of powers and dangers they recognize. Primitive society is an energized structure in the center of its universe. Powers shoot out from its strong points, powers to prosper and dangerous powers to retaliate against attack. But the society does not exist in a neutral, uncharged vacuum. It is subject to external pressure; that which is not with it, part of it and subject to its laws, is potentially against it. In describing these pressures on boundaries and margins I admit to having made society sound more systematic than it really is. But just such an expressive over-systematising is necessary for interpreting the beliefs in question. For I believe that ideas about separating purifYing, demarcating and punishing transgressions have as their main function to impose on an inherently untidy experience. It is only by exaggerating the difference between within and without, above and below, male and female, with and against, that a semblance of order is created. In this sense I am not afraid of the charge of having made the social structure seem over-rigid.

But in another sense I do not wish to suggest that the primitive cultures in which these ideas of contagion flourish are rigid, hide-bound and stagnant. No one knows how old are the ideas of purity and impurity in any non-literate culture: to members they must seem timeless and unchanging. But there is every reason to believe that they are sensitive to change. The same impulse to impose order which brings them into existence can be supposed to be continually modifying or enriching them. This is a very important point. For when I argue that the reaction to dirt is continuous with other reactions to ambiguity or anomaly, I am not reviving the nineteenth century hypothesis of fear in another guise. Ideas about contagion can certainly be traced to reaction to anomaly. But they are more than the disquiet of a laboratory rat who suddenly finds one of his familiar exits from the maze is blocked. And they are more than the discomfiture of the aquarium stickleback faced with an anomalous member of his species. The initial recognition of anomaly leads to anxiety and from there to suppression or avoidance; so far, so good. But we must look for a more energetic organising principle to do justice to the elaborate cosmologies which pollution symbols reveal.
The native of any culture naturally thinks of himself as receiving passively his ideas of power and danger in the universe, discounting any minor modification he himself may have contributed. In the same way we think of ourselves as passively receiving our native language and discount our responsibility for shifts it undergoes in our life time. The anthropologist falls into the trap if he thinks of a culture he is studying as a long established pattern of values. In this sense I emphatically deny that a proliferation of ideas about purity and contagion implies a rigid mental outlook or rigid social institutions. The contrary may be true." (Douglas, 1966:4-5)

Read the following passage and answer to the questions (questions 72-82) given below:
The two principal items of wealth which the Siuai exchange with one another are pigs and sea-shell valuables. The shell wealth comprises lengths of button-like shell discs threaded onto lengths of string. These discs, called pesi, are distinguished in terms of shell type, colour, diameter and thickness and have different values, delicate red ones being valued the highest. The Siuai, like other Melanesians, regularly exchange these valuables with one another, often together with meals featuring valued foods and delicacies. Exchanges again frequently mark events in the life-cycle, such as marriage and death. Big men play a prominent role in these exchanges; disburse and receive more wealth than other men. The Siuai also exchange wealth culturally defined as opposed to life-eyeIe-prompted events which, while unique to them, parallel others throughout Melanesia. These events centre on the men's clubhouse.
A man aspiring to the status of big men has to organize and finance the building of a men's house. The more people are involved in the enterprise the better. An ambitious man strives to include not only relatives living in the same locality but also people from elsewhere. He contracts out the building work to different groups of people, commissioning some to erect the house's frame and do the ornamental lashings, others to supply the sago-sheet thatch, and so on. He arranges large feast to pay these people for their services. The test of his transactional skills is in providing an adequate or better still, more than adequate supply of choice foods-pork, taro, coconut and sago and almond puddings-for the feasts. A big man tries to see all his local relatives, who will use the house when completed, organize their subsistence activities to ensure a surplus of the needed food items at the required time. Assembling a sufficient number of fattened pigs for these occasions calls for considerable skill. In addition to using the animals raised by female relatives, he may arrange with certain kin and friends to supply him with pigs, perhaps giving them small animals to raise from one of his litters for the purpose. These suppliers will be compensated with pesi. As the events approaches he may seek out men with large beasts.which they are willing to sell, and buy these with lengths of pesi. He must therefore arrange his exchange affairs in such a way as to have sufficient valuables to make these sizable payments to others, and the negotiations and transactions do not stop there. The Siuai do not kill their own pigs; instead,'they exchange them with others for animals of equivalent size. It is no surprise that, having picked their way
11
through this maze of negotiations, the Siuai regard the delivery of a large pig for slaughter as a particularly exciting occasion and sometimes arrange a small feast to reward the efforts of those who have transported the animal on streamer-decked stretcher to the pen built especially to accommodate it before the feast.
