For half a century Rene Girard's theories of mimetic desire and
scapegoating have captivated the imagination of thinkers and doers
in many fields as an incisive look into the human condition,
particularly the roots of violence. In a 1993 interview with
Rebecca Adams, he highlighted the positive dimensions of mimetic
phenomena without expanding on what they might be. Now, two decades
later, this groundbreaking book systematically explores the
positive side of mimetic theory in the context of the multi-faceted
world of creativity. Several authors build on Adams' insight that
loving mimesis can be understood as desiring the subjectivity of
the other, particularly when the other may be young or wounded.
With highly nuanced arguments authors show how mimetic theory can
be used to address child and adult development, including the
growth of consciousness and a capacity to handle complexity.
Mimetic theory is brought to bear on big questions about creativity
in nature, evolutionary development, originality, and religious
intrusion into politics.
