Scientific Director of the CNRS Department of Human and Social Sciences (1982-6), then of the Musée de l’Homme (1997-2000), Godelier graduated in philosophy before starting his career in the 1960s with the historian Fernand Braudel, then with the anthropologist Claude Lévi-Strauss.
In 1966, Maurice Godelier went off to study the Baruya, a tribe in New Guinea, where he spent several years.
He analysed this society, which had neither state nor market economy, in The Making of Great Men (1982), a standard work that would be followed by many others: The Mental and the Material (1984), The Enigma of the Gift (1996), The Metamorphoses of Kinship (2004), Au fondement des sociétés humaines (2007), Claude Lévi-Strauss (2013) and The Imagined, the Imaginary and the Symbolic (2015).
