Violence, Desire, and the Sacred, Volume 2 Vol. 2: René Girard and Sacrifice in Life, Love and Literature

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. Showcases the application of Rene Girard's mimetic theory across a range of disciplines, including philosophy, religious studies, literature and cultural studies. Edited By Scott Cowdell, Chris Fleming And Joel Hodge. Translated From The English. Includes Bibliographical References And Index.
