Abstract

This article gives an overview of Marcel Mauss's vision, the author of the remarkable work, The Gift. After a brief biography of the renowned ethnologist, there are exposed the relations that characterize the gift as Mauss's view reflects them. The analysis addresses issues such as: the essential characteristics of the gift, paradoxes which it involved, archaic forms which show the tribal populations examined by the author.
