ABSTRACT

Moral judgements in Wanet, I argue, often pertain to locality. Indeed, morality might be glossed as the rights conferred upon people by their local belonging, in particular their ownership of local land-their priority on the land. What is ‘moral’ in Wanet is for local people to defend their landownership against outsiders. Here, as Archetti puts it (this volume), is a locally ‘concrete’ discourse wherein (as with Argentinian football) moral issues are voiced.2
