Abstract
Marcel Mauss (1872-1950) is considered one of the founders of French Social Anthropology in the first half of the 20th century. He gathered around himself a set of people, institutions, representations, and practices that have marked the history of modern anthropology ever since. Although he did develop specific studies on education, his academic experience, political and cultural activities, and work are unquestionable sources of inspiration and reflection on teaching and learning processes. Based on Mauss’ intellectual and pedagogical trajectory, the text highlights some of his academic, pedagogical, and institutional actions around ethnography, museums, the body, and learning, seeking to contribute to the dialogue between anthropology and education.
