A Prece
Marcel Mauss (1872-1950), renomado sociólogo e antropólogo francês, ficou conhecido por suas contribuições significativas para o entendimento das práticas sociais e culturais. Embora não tenha concluído sua tese de doutorado sobre "A Prece", sua obra permanece como um marco fundamental em seus estudos. Publicada de forma privada em 1909, a obra oferece uma análise profunda sobre o fenômeno da oração e suas implicações sociais.
Em "A Prece", Mauss argumenta que a oração vai além de uma prática individual de devoção religiosa, sendo também um ato profundamente enraizado no contexto social. Ele destaca que as formas e os rituais da oração são moldados pelas estruturas sociais, crenças e valores de uma determinada sociedade. Dessa forma, ao invés de ser vista como uma simples comunicação com o divino, a oração é compreendida como uma expressão complexa das relações sociais e da coesão comunitária.
A análise de Mauss sobre a natureza social da oração tem sido de grande interesse para diversas áreas do conhecimento, incluindo a antropologia, a sociologia e a teologia.
Embora "A Prece" tenha recebido pouca atenção em comparação com outras obras de Mauss, sua relevância perdura como um texto seminal que continua a influenciar o pensamento acadêmico sobre a religião, a sociedade e a cultura.

About the author
Marcel Mauss
84 books143 followersMauss was born in Épinal, Vosges to a Jewish family, and studied philosophy at Bordeaux, where his uncle Émile Durkheim was teaching at the time and agregated in 1893. Instead of taking the usual route of teaching at a lycée, however, Mauss moved to Paris and took up the study of comparative religion and the Sanskrit language. His first publication in 1896 marked the beginning of a prolific career that would produce several landmarks in the sociological literature.
Like many members of Année Sociologique Mauss was attracted to socialism, particularly that espoused by Jean Jaurès. He was particularly active in the events of the Dreyfus affair and towards the end of the century he helped edit such left-wing papers as le Populaire, l'Humanité and le Mouvement Socialiste, the last in collaboration with Georges Sorel.
Mauss took up a chair in the 'history of religion and uncivilized peoples' at the Ecole Pratique des Hautes Etudes in 1901. It was at this time that he began drawing more and more on ethnography, and his work began increasingly to look like what we would today call anthropology.
The years of World War I were absolutely devastating for Mauss. Many of his friends and colleagues died in the war, and Durkheim died shortly before its end. The postwar years were also difficult politically for Mauss. Durkheim had made changes to school curricula across France, and after his death a backlash against his students began. Like many other followers of Durkheim, Mauss took refuge in administration, securing Durkheim's legacy by founding institutions such as l'Institut Français de Sociologie (1924) and l'Institut d'Ethnologie in 1926. In 1931 he took up the chair of Sociology at the Collège de France. He actively fought against anti-semitism and racial politics both before and after World War II. He died in 1950.

كتاب بحثي عميق بتعليق حفري من د محمدالحاح سالم، قرأته للمرة الثانية بغرض التمعن أكثر..وهو من كتابين الاول في موضوع الدراسة والمنهج والثاني طبيعة الطقوس الشفهية الأساسية. ناقش الصلاة بتجرد تام عن انتمائه من حيث جذورها الدينية وآثارها الاجتماعية والسياسية. كذلك تعمق في طقوس بعض الأمم الغابرة وعقائدها وأساطيرها.. وخصوصا قارة أستراليا..

أعتقد أنه كتاب أكاديمي بحت يتطلب قراءات مسبقة في هذا الباب وإلا سيكون من الصعوبة بمكان استيعاب كل فحوى الكتاب -كما حصل معي-
وإلا عمومًا فالكتاب جيد في مقدمته حيث أستعرض المؤلف مارسيل الصلاة وطبيعتها بتأصيل علمي صرف مع دراسة
مخصصة لأستراليا
الترجمة ممتازة ولي عودة أخرى للكتاب بغرض فهمه بشكل أعمق
