The entries below illustrate the functional ambivalence of informality – supportive of participants yet viewed as subversive by observers; subversive of formal constraints (such as geographical borders, shortages, all kinds of regulations) yet also supportive of them; bending the rules yet also complying with and reinforcing them. The blurred boundary between need and greed is the key theme and an underlying principle by which the material presented here is organised: from practices aimed at bare necessities to those driven by greed, ambition and passion to challenge the constraints.

The blurred boundary between need and greed is the key theme and an underlying principle by which the material presented here is organised: from practices aimed at bare necessities to those driven by greed, ambition and passion to challenge the constraints.
