Mauss, Marcel.
FRAGMENTS D'UN PLAN DE SOCIOLOGIE GENERALE DESCRIPTIVE.
IN: ANNALES SOCIOLOGIQUES. Series a Sociologie Generale
Paris: Felix Alcan, 1934.
22.7 x 14cm, 268pp. Original wrappers. First edition of this work by the pioneering social anthropologist. Mauss' ethnographic concepts (re. 'the sacred') influenced and soon thereafter paralleled the path taken by the Georges Bataille and Michel Leiris directed group surrounding the journal 'Documents'. There is also another essay by Andre Philip - "Une vue d'ensemble sur l'evolution d'une societe contemporaine". A mostly VG, mainly unopened example of this scarce title which sadly has a torn spine at the bottom of the book which requiresw regluing - but there is no paper loss and this would be an easy repair.
