'''Roger Caillois was born in ''' ([[March 3]], [[Reims1913]] but moved to - [[ParisDecember 21]] as a child. There he studied at the prestigious , [[Lycée Louis-le-Grand1978]]), an elite school where students took courses after graduating from secondary school in order to prepare for examinations for was a top spot at university. Caillois's efforts paid off and he entered the [[École Normale SupérieureFrench]], graduating in [[1933intellectual]]. After this he studied at the whose idiosyncratic [[École Pratique des Hautes Étudeswork]] where he came into contact with thinkers such as brought together [[Georges Dumézilliterary criticism]], [[Alexandre Kojèvesociology]], and [[Marcel Maussphilosophy]] by focusing on [[subjects]] as diverse as [[gem]]s and the [[sacred]]. He was also instrumental in introducing [[Latin]] American authors to the French [[public]].
The years before the war were marked by Caillois's increasingly [[leftist]] [[political]] commitment, particularly in his fight against [[fascism]]. He was also engaged in Paris's avant-garde intellectual [[life]]. With [[Georges Bataille]] he founded the [[College of Sociology]], a group of intellectuals who lectured regularly to one [[another]]. Formed partly as a reaction to the [[Surrealist]] movement that was dominant in the 1920s, the College sought to move away from [[surrealism]]'s focus on the [[fantasy]] life of an [[individual]]'s [[unconscious]] and focus instead more on the [[power]] of [[ritual]] and [[other]] aspects of communal life. Caillois's background in [[anthropology]] and [[sociology]], and particularly his interest in the sacred, exemplified this approach. Caillois [[left ]] [[France ]] in [[1939]] for [[Argentina]], where he stayed until the end of [[World War II|WWII]]. During the war he was [[active ]] in fighting the spread of [[Nazism ]] in Latin America as an editor and [[author ]] of anti-[[Nazi ]] periodicals. In [[1948]], after the war, he worked with [[UNESCO]] and traveled widely. In 1971 he was elected to the [[Académie Française]]. Today Caillois is remembered for founding and editing ''[[Diogenes]]'', an interdisciplinary journal funded by [[United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization|UNESCO]], and ''Southern Cross'', a [[translation]] of contemporary Latin American authors published by [[Gallimard]] that is [[responsible]] for introducing authors such as [[Borges|J.L. Borges]] or [[Alejo Carpentier]] to the French-[[speaking]] public. caillois, r, 73, 99-100, 109 [[Seminar XI]]
