About this Item

ProvenancE: Wendy Jane's copy, Very good copy in the colour-printed boards. Spine bands and panel edges somewhat dulled and rubbed as with age. Bumped corners. Some light foxing to prelims. Remains quite well-preserved overall. Physical description: vi, 212 pages. Notes: "Translated from the French: Manuel d'ethnographie . c1967"--Title page verso. Includes bibliographical references and indexes. Contents: Preliminary remarks -- Methods of observation -- Social morphology -- Technology -- Aesthetics -- Economic phenomena -- Jural phenomena -- Moral phenomena -- Religious phenomena. Summary: 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, in the English language for the first time, this extraordinary work that is based on the more than thirty lectures Mauss delivered each. Subjects: Ethnology. Sociology Philosophy. Ethnology Study and teaching. Durkheimian school of sociology. Genre: Bibliography. 1 Kg. Seller Inventory # 322607
