Summary:
Le totémisme fut l'objet, il y a cent ans, du plus grand débat anthropologique de tous les temps. Cette notion clé de la théorie évolutionniste tomba par la suite en désuétude, en attendant le coup de grâce que lui donna Lévi-Strauss dans Le Totémisme aujourd'hui. Or, elle fut essentielle à l'avènement de l'ethnologie moderne. Des figures comme Franz Boas, Émile Durkheim, Malinowski ou Radcliffe Brown entrèrent en dialogue avec les auteurs évolutionnistes qui avaient lancé la discussion, en particulier l'Écossais James Frazer, auteur du célèbre Rameau d'or.
Totemism was the subject, a hundred years ago, of the greatest anthropological debate of all time. This key notion of evolutionary theory subsequently fell into disuse, pending the final blow that Levi-Strauss gave it in Totemism Today. However, it was essential to the advent of modern ethnology. Figures like Franz Boas, Émile Durkheim, Malinowski or Radcliffe Brown entered into dialogue with the evolutionary authors who had initiated the discussion, in particular the Scotsman James Frazer, author of the famous Golden Branch.
