Good to produce. Food, gardening, and valued persons in contemporary Mentawai society, Indonesia
Original language description
This article examines the role of food and food-related activities in a Mentawai society on Siberut island (West Sumatra, Indonesia). In particular, it deals with gardening, the main Mentawai activity for producing food, and its relation to the construction of Mentawai personhood. Gardening is a set of activities through which the Mentawai produce and reproduce themselves and others. It is the principal activity within a total process of constructing valued persons and sociality, rather than merely being the production of material substances. Mentawai foodways, therefore, offer vital clues to personhood and illustrate that food and food-related activities are transformative agents in the process of social production and sociality.
