Week 5
Due: Saturday, 9/29, at 5pm, uploaded to your dropbox folder on Collab

This week please write a short essay considering the reading you have completed by Mauss by answering --

1) What assumptions underlie this text? Which assumptions are explicit? Which are implicit?

2) What are the implications of the assumptions you have identified? How do taken-for-granted ideas matter, either in this writing or in the larger world?

See this page for tips and hints about writing a strong essay.
