Abstract
Arnold van Gennep was a leader in the field of French folklore and ethnology. His life was one of prolific publication, constant intellectual growth, and incisive criticism of the French social sciences. Yet he remained an outcast from the French academic life. From a survey of his writings and those of members of L'Année Sociologique, the lines of tension which resulted in van Gennep's exclusion from academe are traced. [Arnold van Gennep, Emile Durkheim, history of anthropology and folklore, French folklore, French sociology]
