This article compares Mauss’s theory of gift as motor for human solidarities with Durkheim’s ancestor-centred conception of social solidarity and Hertz’s creative intervention in the latter. It does so by focusing on the different ways in which these three formative scholars of the L’Année Sociologique group understood the meaning and locus of human spirits. The discussion includes a brief consideration of the Vietnamese custom of offering gifts of money to ancestral and non-ancestral spirits.
