Softcover. Etat : Acceptable. Used - acceptable Ships from the USA. Since its first publication in English in 1954, The Gift, Marcel Mauss's groundbreaking study of the relation between forms of exchange and social structure, has been acclaimed as a classic among anthropology texts.A brilliant example of the comparative method,?The Gift? presents the first systematic study of the custom-widespread in primitive societies from ancient Rome to present-day Melanesia-of exchanging gifts. The gift is a perfect example of what Mauss calls a total social phenomenon, since it involves legal, economic, moral, religious, aesthetic, and other dimensions. He sees the gift exchange as related to individuals and groups as much as to the objects themselves, and his analysis calls into question the social conventions and economic systems that had been taken for granted for so many years. In a modern translation, introduced by distinguished anthropologist Mary Douglas,?The Gift?is essential reading for students of social anthropology and sociology. N° de réf. du vendeur B821_36_13

Paperback. Etat : Good. First Norton Paperback Edition. A foundational work in social anthropology, this is the 1967 Norton paperback edition of Marcel Mauss's seminal study, "The Gift." First published in English in 1954, Mauss's groundbreaking research explores the intricate relationship between forms of exchange and social structure across various archaic societies. Drawing on extensive case studies from Melanesia, Polynesia, and northwestern North America, Mauss demonstrates how gift exchange functions as a 'total system' deeply embedded at the core of society, influencing legal, economic, religious, and aesthetic aspects of human interaction. A brilliant French sociologist and anthropologist, Mauss's work remains an acclaimed classic, essential for understanding the complexities of human social organization. This copy is presented in good paperback condition. N° de réf. du vendeur SCAN-20-72CAF752
