ESSAY ON: Comparison of Mauss and Geertz

Number of Pages 5

This research paper: A 5 page paper assessing Marcel Mauss’ “Techniques of the Body” and Clifford Geertz’s “Impact of the Concept of Culture on the Concept of Man,” followed by a comparison of the two works. Both authors agree that the study of movements, gestures, gait and other issues of body usage are culture-specific. The point is that one studying a culture must be aware of all aspects of that culture, that there is not even one detail small enough to warrant being labeled as being insignificant. Bibliography lists 4 sources.
