This book is the first intellectual biography of Marcel Mauss
(1872-1950), the father of modern ethnology and a leading early
figure in the French school of sociology. Mauss left a rich
intellectual legacy in the social sciences, influencing the work of
Claude Levi-Strauss and others. His masterpiece, the 1925 essay The
Gift, on reciprocity and gift economies among archaic societies,
remains required reading in anthropology, and his work more broadly
resonates today with students and scholars in fields from the
history of religion to sociology. Mauss taught the first generation
of French field researchers in anthropology and helped secure the
legacy of his uncle, emile Durkheim, the founder of modern
sociology. In Marcel Mauss: A Biography, Marcel Fournier situates
Mauss's ideas in their biographical context, focusing not only on
the details of Mauss's life but also on the people and the academic
milieus with which he was associated in early twentieth-century
France. He shows how Mauss--through his writings, teaching, and
socialist politics--found himself at the center of the intellectual
and political life of his country and of Europe through two world
wars. The book addresses, among other topics, the effect of the
Dreyfus Affair and the First World War on Mauss's thought, and the
inner dynamics of the group of scholars around Mauss and Durkheim
at the journal they helped establish, Annee Sociologique. The fruit
of vast research, Marcel Mauss: A Biography is the life story both
of a legendary scholar and of the institutionalization of sociology
and anthropology.
