Excerpt from The Gift: Forms and Functions of Exchange in Archaic Societies
Marcel Mauss (1872-1950), Emile Durkheim's nephew and most distinguished pupil, was a man of unusual ability and learning, and also of integrity and strong convictions. After Durkheim's death he was the leading figure in French sociology. His reputation was closely bound up with the fortunes of the Annee Sociologique which he helped his uncle to found and make famous; some of the most stimulating and original contributions to its earher numbers were written by him in collaboration with Durkheim and Hubert and Beuchat: Essai sur la nature etla fauction du sacrifice(1899), De quelques formes primitives de classification: contribution a fetude des representations collectives(1903), Esquisse dune theorie generale de la magie (1904), and Essai sur les variations saisonnieres des societes eskimos: essai de morphologic sociale (1906).
The war of 1914-18, during which Mauss was on operational service, almost wiped out the team of brilliant younger scholars whom Durkheim had taught, inspired, and gathered around him his son Andre Durkheim, Robert Hertz, Antoine Bianconi, Georges Gelly, Maxime David, Jean Reynier. The Master did not survive them (d. 1917). Had it not been for these disasters Mauss might have given us in ampler measure Ck the fruits of his erudition, untiring industry, and mastery of 2 method. But he not only wrote about social solidarity and collective sentiments. He expressed them in his own life. For. him the group of Durkheim and his pupils and colleagues had a kind of collective mind, the material representation of which was its product the Annee.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the fascinating world of gift-giving in ancient societies, delving into the complex rituals and obligations that surrounded the act of giving and receiving. The author examines how gifts, far from being simple expressions of generosity, served as a powerful tool for establishing social relationships, maintaining order, and even influencing the supernatural. The book draws on a wide range of ethnographic material, including accounts of Polynesian cultures, the Trobriand Islanders, and even the Andamanese pygmies, to illustrate the interconnectedness of gifts with economic, legal, and religious spheres. The author reveals how the act of giving, receiving, and repaying gifts created a web of social obligations that went far beyond simple economic transactions. The book provides a unique perspective on the morality and psychology of exchange, demonstrating how seemingly simple acts of giving can reveal profound insights into the nature of human society and its underlying structures. The author's research reveals that the practice of gift-giving, far from being a relic of the past, holds crucial lessons for understanding the social forces that shape our own world. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
