A graduate of the École normale supérieure, he was head of the École des hautes études en sciences sociales, following Fernand Braudel, Jacques Le Goff, and François Furet. Founder of the Centre d’anthropologie des mondes contemporains at the EHESS, he is the author of around forty groundbreaking and authoritative books. His principal works include Génie du paganisme; Non-lieux; and Une ethnologie de soi. He recently published the best-selling La sacrée semaine qui changea la face du monde.

A book that needs to be read!
