Timeline
Maurice Godelier (born February 28, 1934) is a French anthropologist who works as a Director of Studies at the School for Advanced Studies in the Social Sciences.
He is one of the most influential French anthropologists and is best known as one of the earliest advocates of Marxism's incorporation into anthropology.
In 1955, Godelier received an associate degree in philosophy, a degree in psychology, and a degree in modern literature.
During his early education, he was especially interested in the works of Husserl.
He attended the École normale supérieure de Saint-Cloud from 1955 to 1959 and received an agrégation in philosophy.
Godelier developed a specific interest in Marxist theory and politics; influenced by Claude Lévi-Strauss, he chose to pursue the field of anthropology.
He is also known for his field work among the Baruya in Papua New Guinea from the 1960s to the 1980s.
Godelier was born to a poor family in provincial France in the commune Cambrai.
In 1963, Godelier initiated the first program on economic anthropology in France at College de France.
In this program he focused on refining the Marxist ideas of base and superstructure and modes of production.
This group took on an institutional form with the creation, in 1964, of the Centre des recherches comparées sur les sociétés anciennes, which later became the Centre Louis Gernet, focusing more on the study of ancient Greece.
From 1966 to 1969, Godelier conducted his first major anthropological field study on the Baruya in Papua New Guinea.
His research provided significant contributions to the limited understanding of New Guinea cultures.
In 1981, he received an honorary degree from the Université catholique de Louvain.
In 1982, he used his research to write an ethnography on the Baruya.
The book, entitled The Making of Great Men, discusses sex- and gender-based inequality and provided insight into the systems of power in Melanesia.
In the late 1990s, Godelier addressed the future of peripheral societies under the effects of world capitalism and a new analysis of kinship theory focusing on gender inequality and sexuality.
His analysis of the systems of power was further developed in Big Men and Great Men, published in 1991, which he co-edited with Marilyn Strathern.
In 1995, he founded the Center for Research and Documentation on Oceania, which he directed until 1999.
From 2000 to 2003, Godelier served on various organizations related to research in social sciences in Europe and his anthropological work in Oceania.
He was the president of the Société des océanistes from 2013 to 2015.
