Feminist Thought and Mimetic Theory: Insights and Challenges in the Work of René Girard
Identifying key features in feminist theory over four decades that still inform feminist thought today, Reineke argues that René Girard’s mimetic theory offers a compelling intervention in “identity politics”, a concept which some feminist theorists have employed to analyze inequalities. So also does it shed light on escalating rivalries among groups with similar interests, as exemplified in recent rivalries among feminist scholars and advocates.…
The View from Pȏle Nord
Simone Beauvoir's novel She Came to Stay immerses readers in a 1930s Parisian social scene, thanks in part to the character Françoise.

Intimate Domain: Desire, Trauma, and Mimetic Theory
For René Girard, human life revolves around mimetic desire, which regularly manifests itself in acquisitive rivalry when we find ourselves wanting an object because another wants it also. Noting that mimetic desire is driven by our sense of inadequacy or insufficiency, Girard arrives at a profound insight: our desire is not fundamentally directed toward the other’s object but toward the other’s being. We perceive the other to possess a fullness o…
