To Double Business Bound Essays on Literature, Mimesis and Anthropology Unknown - 1988
by René Girard
"Girard fuses literary, psychological, and anthropological texts in order to view the activity of mimesis. This includes the phenomena of scapegoating, victimage, and sacrifice. They, in turn, serve as starting points for a breathtakingly daring and encompassing theory of the origins of human culture. In an era of interdisciplinary studies, this volume stands alone."--"Choice."
First line
The present volume deals with subjects usually regarded as pertaining to separate disciplines; nevertheless, it has little to do with the approaches and methodologies that have insured, in recent years, the growth of "interdisciplinary studies."
From the rear cover
An individual desires an object, not for itself, but because another individual also desires it. This mimetic desire, Rene Girard contends, lies at the source of all human disorder and order. Girard draws out the thesis mimetic desire, and ponders is suppression in the West since Plato.
