Abstract

The editors of Durkheim, The Durkheimians and the Arts, ask how come the benign neglect of the arts in the sociological curriculum? They consider Durkheim and his followers as source of a tradition that needs to be investigated. Their focus is on the post-WWI Durkheimians, led by Marcel Mauss and his pupils.
