ARCHEOLOGY AND SOCIOLOGY IN MARCEL MAUSS’S WORKS (1930-1940)

Abstract

The article analyzes the influence of Archeology in Marcel Mauss’ researchs in the 1930’s, due to the edition of posthumous works of the archeologist-sociologist, Henri Hubert. This discussion between different knowledge in the Human Sciences may be seen as a strategy of the French School of Sociology to propagate the Sociology and the durkheimian’s sociological method in the French system of education and research. Therefore, the trajectory of the sociologists, Marcel Mauss and Henri Hubert and how they participated in the durkheimian team and in the review L’Année Sociologique, is presented. After that, it is discussed how the Archeology appears in Mauss’ works and in his courses given at Collège de France.
