Thesen, Doreen: The Function of Gift Exchange in Stendhal and Balzac. New York, Bern, Berlin, Bruxelles, Frankfurt/M., Oxford, Wien Peter Lang Vlg. 2000. ISBN: 978-0-8204-4882-4
Twentieth-century French thinkers such as Marcel Mauss, Georges Bataille, Jean Baudrillard, and Alain Caille (a member of the MAUSS group, an acronym for Mouvement Anti-Utilitariste dans les Sciences Sociales) have launched repeated attacks on economism and have proposed the gift as an alternative form of social regulation. In this book, a selection of writings by Stendhal and Balzac is studied to see how gift exchange functions in these authors' representations of France in the early nineteenth century, a period during which money emerged as a universal social mediator. The gift is studied from two main perspectives: true gift as a means of establishing a positive relationship and gift as a facade masking and facilitating commercial transactions.
