Beskrivning
This collection of state of the art interpretations of the thought of René Girard follows on from the volume Violence, Desire, and the Sacred: Girard's Mimetic Theory Across the Disciplines (2012). The previous collection has been acclaimed for demonstrating and showcasing Girard's mimetic theory at its inter-disciplinary best by bringing together scholars who apply Girard's insights in different fields. This new volume builds on and extends the work of that earlier collection by moving into new areas such as psychology, politics, classical literature, national literature, and practical applications of Girard's theory in pastoral/spiritual care, peace-making and religious thought and practice.

Recensioner i media

Chris Fleming's call in 2004 to take up René Girard's research programme has been convincingly answered by The Australian Girard Seminar and their distinguished guests. Volume Two of Violence, Desire, and the Sacred is important to anyone working in mimetic theory and a persuasive model for those who would productively integrate interdisciplinary researchers.
