Mauss and Hubert wrote another book titled "A General Theory of Magic" in 1902 external links for PDF. They studied magic in 'primitive' societies and how it has manifested into our thoughts and social actions. They argue that social facts are subjective and therefore should be considered magic, but society is not open to accepting this. In the book, Mauss and Hubert state: "In magic, we have officers, actions, and representations: we call a person who accomplishes magical actions a "magician", even if he is not professional; "magical representations" are those ideas and beliefs which correspond to magical actions; as for these actions, with regard to which we have defined the other elements of magic, we shall call them "magical rites". At this stage it is important to distinguish between these activities and other social practices with which they might be confused."They go on to say that only social occurrences can be considered magical. Individual actions are not magic because if the whole community does not believe in efficacy of a group of actions, it is not social and therefore, cannot be magical.
