The Palgrave Handbook of Mimetic Theory and Religion is devoted to Rene Girard's mimetic theory, and deals specifically with the intersection between mimetic theory and its core object of study: religion. Drawing on the expertise of leading scholars and thinkers in disciplines including theology, anthropology, archaeology, philosophy, media ecology, and literature, this volume explores 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 mimetic theory to our understanding of sacrifice, ancient tragedy, and post-modernity, and apply its insights to religious cinema and the global economy. Comprehensive in scope and rich in its diverse engagements, 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.
