A person or expert in your field that you admire

 

Marcel Mauss 10 May 1872 – 10 February 1950 was a french sociologist. The nephew of Émile Durkheim, Mauss, in his academic work, crossed the boundaries between sociology and anthropology. Today, he is perhaps better recognised for his influence on the latter discipline, particularly with respect to his analyses of topics such as magic, sacrifice and gift exchange in different cultures around the world. Mauss had a significant influence upon Claude Lévi-strauss, the founder of structural anthropology. His most famous work is The Gift in 1925.

One of his main works has been his essay on the gift, which explains the form and function of exchange in archaic societies; also known as The Gift, is a book by the anthropologist Marcel Mauss published in 1923-1924 in Année Sociologique. It deals with the methods of exchange in archaic societies. It is one of the most famous studies for the field of anthropology. Also, Marcel Mauss is widely recognized for his first and most important ethnographic, anthropological, and sociological study of reciprocity, exchange, and the anthropological origin of the contract. I like it because in my career we see a lot, and we learned to admire it and to admire the constructions that serve to understand the field of.
