"Why is there so much violence in our midst?" Rene Girard asks. "No
question is more debated today. And none produces more
disappointing answers." In Girard's mimetic theory it is the
imitation of someone else's desire that gives rise to conflict
whenever the desired object cannot be shared. This mimetic rivalry,
Girard argues, is responsible for the frequency and escalating
intensity of human conflict. For Girard, human conflict comes not
from the loss of reciprocity between humans but from the
transition, imperceptible at first but then ever more rapid, from
good to bad reciprocity. In this landmark text, Girard continues
his study of violence in light of geopolitical competition,
focusing on the roots and outcomes of violence across societies
latent in the process of globalization. The volume concludes in a
wide-ranging interview with the Sicilian cultural theorist Maria
Stella Barberi, where Girard's twenty-first century emphases on the
continuity of all religions, global conflict, and the necessity of
apocalyptic thinking emerge.
