Resumo

Originally published in French in 1950, this concise and illuminating essay offers a critical introduction to the work of Marcel Mauss, the influential French sociologist and anthropologist. Claude Lévi-Strauss, Mauss's student and nephew, examines Mauss's key concepts, including the 'total social fact,' the gift, and the body as a social and historical construction. Lévi-Strauss explores the intellectual context of Mauss's work, tracing his influences and highlighting his contributions to the development of anthropological thought. This edition includes a new introduction by N. J. Allen, which situates Mauss's work within contemporary debates in anthropology and sociology.
