Abstract
This memorandum was written by Maurice Godelier as an invitation to anthropologists, historians, linguists and technologists, particularly in France and England, to join in a collective research project on work and its representations, across time and across cultures. As a first stage in the research there will be a seminar, beginning in January 1981, on work and its representations at the Laboratoire d'Anthropologie Sociale of the College de France. Subsequently, it is hoped that there will be an international meeting on the subject to be convened by the French Anthropological Association, to be followed by a series of books assembling research from as many points of view as possible. If any of our readers are working in this area or have been planning research of this sort and would like to take part, or would simply like to know more about the subject, out of general interest, they should get in touch with Michael Ignatieff or Raphael Samuel at the Journal.
