	In These Times - Give It Away
		Marcel Mauss was born in 1872 to an Orthodox Jewish family in Vosges.
		By all accounts, though, Mauss was never taken completely seriously in his role of heir apparent; a man of extraordinary erudition (he knew at least a dozen languages, including Sanskrit, Maori and classical Arabic), he still, somehow, lacked the gravity expected of a grand professeur.
		In gift economies, Mauss argued, exchanges do not have the impersonal qualities of the capitalist marketplace: In fact, even when objects of great value change hands, what really matters is the relations between the people; exchange is about creating friendships, or working out rivalries, or obligations, and only incidentally about moving around valuable goods.

		Mauss was born in Epinal to a Jewish family, and studied philosophy at Bordeaux, where Ãmile Durkheim was teaching at the time and agregated in 1893.
		He feels that Mauss overstated the magnitude of the obligation created by social pressures, particularly in his description of the potlatch amongst North American Indians.

		A brilliant French sociologist and anthropologist, Marcel 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.
		Mauss says that the ideal of the gift as distributive justice arises from the belief that the gods punish those with great wealth who are not generous.
		Mauss shows how gift giving evolves with the Native Americans where the concept of honor is more exaggerated and the idea of "credit" and a time limit on the reciprocation of gifts is highlighted.

	David Graeber on MAUSS
		Mauss' essay on "the gift" was, more than anything, his response to events in Russia – particularly Lenin's New Economic Policy of 1921, which abandoned earlier attempts to abolish commerce.
		Actually, the group itself began as a journal, called Revue du MAUSS – a very small journal, printed sloppily on bad paper – whose authors conceived it as much as an in-joke as a venue for serious scholarship, the flagship journal for a vast international movement that did not then exist.
		By the mid-'90s, MAUSS had become an impressive network of scholars – ranging from sociologists and anthropologists to economists, historians and philosophers, from Europe, North Africa and the Middle East – whose ideas had become represented in three different journals and a prominent book series (all in French) backed up by annual conferences.

	Sample Chapter for Fournier, M.; Todd, J.M.,: Marcel Mauss: A Biography.
		Mauss himself acknowledged that it was impossible to separate himself from the work of the school.
		Yet it is true Mauss was often sorely tested--by the death of Durkheim and of Henri Hubert and by his own illnesses, for example--and faced many professional and personal obligations.
		Marcel Mauss was foremost a scholar, but a scholar who never lost interest in what was happening around him.

		Mauss was left to pick up the pieces.
		Mauss was never entirely sure what his practical conclusions were.
		Since the strikes of 1995 and the election of a Socialist government, Mauss' own works have undergone a considerable revival in France, with the publication of a new biography and a collection of his political writings.

	Marcel Mauss: A Biography @ Rice Bowl Journals
		University of Montreal sociologist Marcel Fournier is now the world's expert on Marcel Mauss, Durkheim's nephew but by no means his mere shadow.
		For example, in 1914 Mauss wrote his mother that he was "utterly ill suited to the intellectual life" (70), preferring to socialize with both colleagues and students, or to hike in the forests around his birthplace in Alsace-Lorraine.
		Mauss also avoided the rigors of marriage and family for many years until he finally married a woman he had known for ten years in 1934, at the age of sixty-two.

	H-Net Review: Filippo M. Zerilli on Marcel Mauss
		Mauss' arrival in Paris, where he enrolled at the "section sciences religieuses" of the Icole Pratique des Hautes Itudes acquainted him with many other distinguished scholars, who would be influential in his subsequent career--among these, the Orientalist, Sylvain Livy ("le deuxihme oncle"), and his contemporary, Henri Hubert ("le jumeau").
		Mauss' relationship with Hubert led to a fruitful scientific collaboration (including their study on the origin and function of sacrifice [1899], and outline of a general theory of magic [1904]), but this close friendship ended prematurely with Hubert's sudden death in 1924.
		Mauss' profile, together with that of his contemporaries, is drawn clearly and fully, so that his actual scientific production is viewed in an enriched and in some ways transformed context.

	Buy The Gift: The Form and Reason for Exchange in Archaic Societies by Marcel Mauss - Shop Online
		Mauss' book is a part sociological, part anthropological study of the practice of gift exchange.
		Second, Mauss moves on to problematize the notion that the thing exchanged is merely an 'inert and lifeless object' and the synchronic view of gift exchange as a short-lived act devoid of temporality.
		Working his way through his ethnographic observations, Mauss unearths the historical dimension of the gift, which now appears to possess a 'spiritual' power irredemiably related to the donor and a historicity (and story) beyond the momentary encounter between donor and recipient.

		Mauss was the nephew of Émile Durkheim, who contributed much to his intellectual formation and with whom he collaborated in such important works as Suicide (1897) and Primitive Classification (1901–02).
		His most influential independent work was The Gift (1925), a highly original comparative study of the relation between forms of gift exchange and social structure.

	Revue du M.A.U.S.S./About MAUSS. http://www.revuedumauss.com
		The reference to Marcel Mauss and the critics of utilitarianism which fired the École Sociologique in the wake of Émile Durkheim enabled to muster critical energies in a sufficiently clear and explicit manner.
		Since its early and very modest origins, this review was meant as a link and discussion tool, able to withstand the theoretical stakes of the project, but also to welcome non-academics, militants and every person eager to think away from chapel constraints and academic gibbering.
		From its initial critical posture, La Revue du MAUSS contributed to the creation of a wide panel of theories and papers all linked by what came to be known as the gift paradigm.
