In Rene Girard, Theology, and Popular Culture, fifteen contributors
consider how Girard's mimetic theory can be used to uncover and
probe the theological depths of popular culture. Creative and
critical engagement with Girard's theory enables the contributors
to offer fresh and exciting interpretations of movies (The Devil
Wears Prada, Mean Girls, Star Wars), television (Hoarders, Cobra
Kai), classical literature and graphic novels, and issues ranging
from anorexia to social media. The result is a volume that
establishes Girard as an innovative interpreter of culture and
shows him as an invaluable guide for theologically reflecting on
desire, violence, redemption, and forgiveness. Written in fresh and
lively prose, the contributors demonstrate not only that Girard
provides a powerful lens through which to view culture but also-and
more provocatively-challenge readers to consider what popular
culture reveals about them. Readers looking for an accessible
introduction to mimetic theory and exploring its theological
application will find this a welcome resource.
