Forthcoming Issue 2023: Ethics of Sharing

Sharing is a fundamental feature of human life and everyday lifeworlds. Yet, anthropology has
been more preoccupied with exchange and gift giving. The now growing anthropology of
sharing has focused mostly on the economy at large, but with this special issue we home in on
the everyday ethics of sharing. W e do so to illuminate the profound responsivity of the human
ethical condition, which is to say the “with of being” ( Al Mo hammed 2010; Hollan and Throop
2008)— the way our being and flourishing as humans is intimately connected with the being of
others. This being with others, we find is a dimension of ethics that is fundamentally connected
with sharing understood as “enabling others to access what is valued” (Widlok 2017: 1).
