“…The harvesting of genetic material illustrates this point well. Refraining from reimbursing consequent travel costs (e.g., plane tickets) to individuals who have agreed to provide genetic material is deemed proper practice, and individuals expect only a "token" recognition of inconvenience (Ertman, 2009(Ertman, : 1033 Further research might identify practices that are systematically avoided across markets to document and explain common limits to markets.…”

This study examines the U.S. commerce in human cadavers for medical education and research to explore variation in legitimacy in trades involving similar goods. It draws on archival, interview, and observational data mainly from New York State to analyze market participants' efforts to legitimize commerce and resolve a jurisdictional dispute.Building on literature on professions, the study shows that how goods are traded, not only what is traded, proves integral to constructing legitimacy, thus suggesting a practicebased view of moral markets. The professionals, including a group of "gatekeepers," construct a narrative distinction between their own commerce and an implicitly less moral alternative and geographically insulate their trades from the broader commerce; creating in effect two circuits. Yet the professionals also promote specific practices of trade within their circuit to help them distinguish their own pursuit from an alternative course of action. The study's findings shed light on the micro-foundations of market legitimization and on the role of morals in sustaining professional jurisdictions.• 3The notion that markets permeate society is nothing new; scholars have long noted the pervasiveness of markets in society (Zelizer, 1979;Hirschman, 1982; FourcadeGourinchas and Healy, 2007; Sandel, 2009). Yet the development of legal markets for "goods" previously deemed off-limits to trade, such as human life and death, has proven surprising and raised anew the question of morals and markets. Despite calls for banning commerce in many goods, particularly human anatomical goods like blood, cadavers, and organs (

“…Partindo de uma nova forma de encarar essas questões, Ertman (2009) aponta que Zelizer transcende a tendência comum de tratar as esferas de mercado e não-mercado, a partir de uma perspectiva simplista, como se fossem: "hostile worlds (à la Michael Walzer) or nothing but another monolithic system (à la Chicago school legal economics)" (Ertman 2009(Ertman , 1018.

O presente artigo tem como objetivo oferecer uma síntese do pensamento da socióloga argentina Viviana Zelizer e das suas contribuições sobre o significado cultural e moral da economia. Através de um diálogo com suas obras, o texto trazido aqui busca demonstrar como as relações econômicas são constantemente moldadas pelos sistemas de significados atribuídos pelas pessoas e pelos contatos sociais que elas estabelecem no intercurso da vida cotidiana. O artigo busca demonstrar como as relações íntimas e os afetos se conectam com as transações econômicas. Para tanto, a autora nos oferece uma contraposição ao esquema teórico convencional da economia clássica e neoclássica, segundo o qual, o mercado afeta de maneira altamente prejudicial a solidariedade e as relações pessoais. Dessa forma, ao superar a oposição entre intimidade e economia, a análise dos mundos conectados de Zelizer, nos oferece uma alternativa para pensar sobre a dinâmica da vida social, não apenas pelo viés das instituições, das organizações, dos valores e da racionalidade, mas sim, a partir do seu enraizamento e da sua relação com os aspectos sociais, culturais e afetivos que permeiam a vida dos indivíduos.

“…Like Viviana A. Zelizer (2000), who debunks the myth that materiality, particularly money, is incompatible with intimacy, it carefully balances the immeasurability, or what Martha M. Ertman (2009) terms "pricelessness," of passion with the material conditions that underpin it. Moreover, and in addition to recognizing the mutual construction of gender, nation, state and citizenship alike, it showcases the relevance of each to individuals' articulation of romantic love.…”

This article draws on a year of fieldwork conducted in Lebanon to highlight the paradoxical entanglement of power with romantic love in Lebanon, evident in the intricate gendered, aged, classed, and sect-related negotiations that accompany courtship periods. In addition, the article highlights the inclusive and relational qualities that external kin relations conduce. Kin approval ought not be seen as either/or divisive/conditional. For many of the couples interviewed, kin relations constitute an arena in which they can disseminate their affective bond. Such analysis is threefold. In addition to embracing the multiple subjectivity of the interlocutors, it moves beyond the standard political-economic approach that generally informs marriage studies in the Middle East and dismantles monolithic perceptions of Middle Eastern kin networks.
