The Palgrave Handbook of Mimetic Theory and Religion draws on the expertise of leading scholars and thinkers to explore the violent origins of culture, the meaning of ritual, and the conjunction of theology and anthropology, as well as secularization, science, and terrorism. Authors assess the contributions of René Girard's mimetic theory to our understanding of sacrifice, ancient tragedy, and post-modernity, and apply its insights to religious cinema and the global economy. This handbook serves as introduction and guide to a theory of religion and human behavior that has established itself as fertile terrain for scholarly research and intellectual reflection.
The first introductory volume to gather articles from the world's foremost scholars of mimetic theory and religion, and first major collective work of this scope on mimetic theory Makes a decisive contribution to the reassessment of our understanding of religion in the 21st century Shows the importance and relevance of mimetic theory to contemporary scholarly debates in theology, religious studies, anthropology, and philosophy, among other fields Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
