Was ist Geld? Auf der Grundlage umfangreicher historischer und ethnologischer Forschungen hat der berühmte französische Ethnologe Marcel Mauss eine bislang wenig beachtete Skizze einer Geldtheorie entworfen, in deren Zentrum die Beobachtung steht, dass Geld Teil des Gesellschaftsvertrages und magisch-religiöser Vorstellungen ist. Mit dieser Integration von Religion und Ökonomie gelingt es Mauss, die Starrheit des neoklassischen oder neomarxist...

First written by Marcel Mauss and Henri Humbert in 1902, A General Theory of Magic gained a wide new readership when republished by Mauss in 1950. As a study of magic in 'primitive' societies and its survival today in our thoughts and social actions, it represents what Claude L vi-Strauss called, in an introduction to that edition, the astonishing modernity of the mind of one of the century's greatest thinkers. The book offers a fascinating sn...

Strafen und opfern, zaubern und beten, urteilen und werten - viele, zum Teil grundlegende menschliche Tätigkeiten sind unmittelbar mit Religion verbunden. Sie stehen im Zentrum von Marcel Mauss' religionssoziologischen Schriften, die mehr sind als Vorarbeiten für die Religionssoziologie seines berühmten Onkels Émile Durkheim: Sie sind Meilensteine der Sozial- und Kulturwissenschaften. In ihnen erfährt man nicht nur etwas über Sakralisierungspr...

Dieser Essay ist »die erste systematische und vergleichende Studie über das weit verbreitete System des Geschenkaustauschs und die erste Deutung seiner Funktion im Bezugsrahmen der gesellschaftlichen Ordnung. Mauss zeigt hier, was die eigentliche Natur und fundamentale Bedeutung solcher Institutionen wie des Potlatsch und des Kula ist, die uns auf den ersten Blick befremdlich oder sogar sinnlos und unverständlich erscheinen. Und wenn er uns ze...

When first published, The Gift served as nothing less than an onslaught on contemporary political theory. This edition confirms the continuing relevance of Mauss's highly original perspective.

2011 Reprint of 1954 American Edition. Full facsimile of the original edition, not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. This is perhaps the first systematic study of the custom, widespread in primitive societies from ancient Rome to present-day Melanesia, of exchanging gifts. The gift is conceived as a transaction forming part of all human, personal relationships between individuals and groups. These gift exchanges are at the same tim...

I doni, da noi, si fanno e si ricevono a Natale o in occasioni stabilite come i compleanni. Non è considerato "normale" fare regali senza un motivo specifico: il dono è un'eccezione, dove la regola è tenere per sé le proprie cose e ottenerne altre tramite l'acquisto o lo scambio. L'antropologia ci ha invece offerto molti esempi di società presso cui il dono costituisce uno degli elementi fondanti. Mauss, nel suo saggio, mette in evidenza che i...

In the wake of considerable recent biographical attention to Marcel Mauss in English-language publications, it is fitting that works by him still available only in French appear in translation. The Manual of Ethnography has been expertly translated by Dominique Lussier, and appropriately edited and introduced by N. J. Allen. This historically important document, ... reflects the youthful moment of modern anthropology when the questions and sub...

The Gift is Marcel Mauss's groundbreaking study of the relation between forms of exchange and social structure. A brilliant French sociologist and anthropologist, Mauss (1872-1950) used case studies of Melanesia, Polynesia, and northwestern North America to demonstrate that gift exchange is a total system at the center of society.

Marcel Mauss famous "Essay on the Gift" has now returned to its original context. For the first time, this masterpiece essential reading for every student of anthorpology can be read in an updated and annotated English translation alongside the profound works that framed its first publication in the 1923 24 issue of the journal "L Annee Sociologique." Included here are Mauss memorial account of the work of colleagues lost during World War I, a...

Marcel Mauss (1872-1950) was the leading social anthropologist in Paris between the world wars, and his Manuel d'ethnographie, dating from that period, is the longest of all his texts. Despite having had four editions in France, the Manuel has hitherto been unavailable in English. This contrasts with his essays, longer and shorter, many of which have long enjoyed the status of classics within anthropology. We are therefore pleased to present, ...
