WILKIS, Ariel. Un análisis del circuito de donación surgido a partir de las "publicaciones de la calle" en la ciudad de Buenos Aires. Avá [online]. 2006, n.9, pp.108-131. ISSN 1851-1694.

In this article we develop an analysis of the donation circuit generated around "Hecho en Buenos Aires" street magazine. In this sense we study the principles that allows this circulation of goods, from donators towards receptors. Considering the characteristics of this kind of donations we analyse the "social scenes" in which both take part. Far from thinking that this donations do not imply any kind of obligations, as a great part of the literature suggests, we state that obligations are present in order to encourage resources' circulation. Our objective is to be able to interpret them as principles that allow us to explain this circuit. From this perspective we identify the triple economical, symbolic and moral circulation.

Keywords : Gift; Donations; Obligations; Mauss; Goffman.
