This paper justifies the current revival of interest in the Collège by examining the relevance of its 'sacred sociology' to post-war anti-utilitarianism. The link between the two periods and set of issues is provided by the review M.A.U.S.S., inspired by Marcel Mauss's seminal essay on the gift. Mauss was the direct and indirect ethnographic mentor for the Collège's main figures - Georges Bataille, Roger Caillois and Michel Leiris. How they effected the ethnographic detour to devise their respective assessments of the place of 'myth, power and the sacred' in modern society is the central focus of this presentation
