Summary/Abstract: A life-long work dedicated to promoting democratic socialism, the critique of colonialism and juxtaposing nation and nationalism in Marcel Mauss’s papers, lectures and speeches are strikingly up to date. The political writings of Mauss conjure up a question no contemporary cultural critic can escape: should or can the ideological context of the societies intellectuals live in and analyse render them activists?
