Abstract:
What if we could observe the normal operation of mimetic desire in a rivalry-free environment? What would object relationships look like? Would acquisitive desire make an appearance without the encouragement of the model-obstacle dynamic? Montessori’s teacher training method offers a rigorous approach to removing rivalry from the student-teacher relationship. It is designed and functions to prevent the model-obstacle phenomenon from occurring. Therefore it provides us with a laboratory for observing mimetic desire in as close to a pre-lapsarian state as we can approximate this side of the gates of Eden.

Abstract:
The purpose of this article is to present a renewed way to theorize intra/inter-professional aggression in nursing. To this end, René Girard’s mimetic mechanism and Max Weber’s conception of professional closure will be explored. More specifically mimetic mechanism, summarized as a sequence of four distinct but interdependent phases including mimetic desire, mimetic rivalry, mimetic (sacrificial) crisis, and scapegoat, will serve to broaden the understanding of intra-professional aggression. For its part, professional closure, a strategy designed to limit and control the number of individuals admitted to a specific profession, will provide a fresh perspective to critically examine the issue of inter-professional aggression by drawing attention to hidden practices of dominance and control.

Abstract:
A pressing issue of our day –religiously inspired violence in places where Judaism, Christianity, and Islam are dominant faiths– is an ideal focal point for considering psychoanalysis in relation to mimetic theory. Rabbi Jonathan Sacks’ book Not in God’s Name: Confronting Religious Violence (Sacks, 2017) proves highly instructive in the context of such an exploration. In his perspicacious application of Girard, Sacks distills the significance of mimetic theory for understanding religiously inspired violence.

Abstract:
Workplace bullying is important to business and government, because it has a real impact on unfortunate casualties’ wellbeing and organizations’ benefits. Studies into the causes and outcomes of workplace bullying with a focus on the key psychodynamic factors underlying harassment and the subsequent results are rare. This paper applies Rene Girard’s mimetic desire theory to clarify the elements and non-cognizant components associated with “interdividual” connections prompting aggression for the victim by the harasser. The disclosure of mirror neurons affirms that mimetic desire grows unwittingly through a mediator of the mimetic brain. Mimetic desire theory helps to recognize and understand that the destructive patterns of behavior and emotional responses to situations leading to moral harassment is a direct consequence of the mimetic rivalry between the bully and the victim. The unconscious mechanism is then brought up to the consciousness. The bully and the victim can avoid becoming entrapped within dysfunctional and toxic relationships such as bullying. The use of the mimetic desire concepts also enables human resources managers, bystanders, and practitioners to better deal with protagonists. This can help minimize or eliminate workplace bullying.

Abstract:
La présente recherche porte sur les applications possibles de la théorie mimétique de René Girard à des oeuvres cinématographiques américaines et européennes de trois périodes : l'entre-deux-guerres,les années 1970 et les années 2000.Cette étude se situe dans le champ d'une sociologie de l'imaginaire dont l'anthropologie du religieux constitue l'axe épistémologique principal.A partir des notions-clés de mimesis, de sacré, de sacrifice et de violence comme termes permettant de penser la sociogenèse, nous tentons de renouveler la lecture d'oeuvres classiques et récentes du cinéma d'auteur américain et européen. Le lien originel de la violence et du sacré constituerait,selon nous, un axe interprétatif essentiel pour la compréhension du lien du social à une violence fondatrice. Dans notre étude, nous analysons les oeuvres cinématographiques comme autant de mythes et de rituels affaiblis, héritiers du sacré et susceptibles à ce titre de transfigurer la violence.Quel sens donner à cette transfiguration esthétique aujourd’hui ?

Bourdin, Jean-Marc. "La rivalité des égaux. La théorie mimétique, un paradigme pour l'anthropologie politique ?" Thesis, Paris 8, 2016. http://www.theses.fr/2016PA080047/document.

Full text
Abstract:
Initiée par René Girard, la théorie mimétique suggère que l’égalité des conditions consacrée comme un droit exacerbe la rivalité entre semblables. Quand l’étiolement de la souveraineté étatique et la logique compétitive de l’économie marchande coïncident avec la prolifération de conflits aux enjeux planétaires, cette rivalité des égaux prend une valeur paradigmatique. L’ambition d’une anthropologie mimétique à traiter de l’époque contemporaine mieux que la philosophie politique idéaliste ou la science politique réaliste suppose une reformulation. Espérance de pallier une insuffisance d’être, le désir mimétique, ou désir d’être autre, aboutit à un résultat contradictoire, la déception de rester insuffisant, l’autre étant alors perçu à la fois comme modèle et obstacle. Pour les acteurs politiques, ce désir devient la revendication d’une égale puissance d’être, promesse faite autant par la citoyenneté, le droit des peuples à disposer d’eux-mêmes que la souveraineté des États sur leur territoire et leur population.En tant que modalité de la contention de la violence, le politique serait ainsi analysable par une « science des rapports humains », anthropologie englobante et non-disciplinaire adoptant un interdividualisme méthodologique. Sur fond de menaces inédites pour la pérennité de l’humanité, la réciprocité des rapports humains fait douter de la compatibilité entre projet égalitaire, quête d’identité et concorde sociale. Ces rapports questionnent également la prépondérance actuelle de la compétition dans les institutions, entre autres politiques, laquelle s’est imposée comme liant paradoxal du gouvernement représentatif et de l’économie de marché<br>Conceived by René Girard, mimetic theory suggests that the equality of conditions, established as a right, exacerbates the rivalry between similar individuals or groups. When the withering away of state sovereignty and the competitive logic of the market economy overlap with the multiplication of conflicts, this rivalry of equals becomes a relevant paradigm.Mimetic anthropology’s ambition – to address contemporary issues better than either idealistic political philosophy or realistic political science –, demands nevertheless to be revisited. The hope to overcome a lack of being, mimetic desire, or one’s desire to become someone else ends up giving way to a contradictory outcome: the disappointment of remaining oneself, the other thereby being perceived as both one’s model and one’s obstacle. For political actors, this desire turns into the claim of the equal power to be, which the promise of citizenship, the right of peoples to self-determination and the state sovereignty over its people and its territory each exemplify. As a modality of the containment of violence, politics could then be analyzed by a non-disciplinary "science of human relationships", implementing a methodological interdividualism. Against the backdrop of unprecedented threats to the survival of humanity, the reciprocity of human relationships casts doubt on the compatibility between the egalitarian project, the quest for identity, and social harmony. These relationships also question the current predominance of competition in the institutions, including political institutions, which has become the paradoxical binding agent between representative governments and the market economy

Abstract:
La guerre et ses conséquences sont trop importantes pour que la réflexion philosophique ne s’y attarde pas. Pour comprendre ses fondements et ses mécanismes internes, il faut une pensée qui creuse au coeur même des comportements guerriers. C’est ce que Thomas Hobbes et Carl von Clausewitz ont chacun tenté de faire en réfléchissant sur la nature de la guerre. Ce mémoire vise entre autres à rendre compte de leur théorie respective sur la nature de la guerre et de voir les rapprochements possibles. L’analyse du concept d’état de guerre et de ses causes chez Hobbes, de même que la pensée de Clausewitz centrée sur la nature de la guerre, rendent compte d’une même dynamique où la relation de réciprocité qu’entretiennent les belligérants conduit à une montée de la violence. La notion de volonté est centrale chez nos auteurs, car elle explique autant cette montée continue de la violence que sa possible résolution vers la paix. Écartant la sphère de la morale et du droit pour penser le phénomène guerrier, leurs réflexions se veulent froides et sans illusion. En saisissant la dynamique relationnelle (et mimétique) qui conduit à un désir illimité de puissance, nos deux auteurs décortiquent l’essence de la guerre par une pensée fondamentalement orientée vers la paix. Ainsi nous donnent-ils des outils pour éviter le pire.<br>War and its consequences are too important for philosophy to ignore these. In order to understand its foundations and internal mechanisms, we must thought into the heart of war behaviors. That is what Thomas Hobbes and Carl von Clausewitz each tried to do in thinking about the nature of war. This dissertation aims among other things to understand their respective theory about the nature of war and to see how to put them together. The conceptual analysis of state of war and of its causes according to Hobbes, as well as Clausewitz’s thought centered on the nature of war, ascertain similar dynamism where the belligerents’ reciprocal relationship leads to a rise of violence. The notion of will is central to these authors because it explains as much this continued rise of violence as well a possible resolution towards peace. Moving aside the sphere of morality and law while thinking about the war phenomenon, their thoughts wish to be cold and without illusions. In grasping the relational (and mimetic) dynamic which leads to an unlimited desire for power, these two authors decorticate the essence of war through a thought fundamentally oriented towards peace. Thus they give us tools to avoid the worst.

Abstract:
This chapter analyses the modes of perpetrator performative transgression by distinguishing between torture, torment, and agony as outcomes desired by perpetrators that represent different kinds of suffering reflective of the comparative influences of culture. The analysis focuses on the language of perpetrators in terms of lies, empty euphemisms, and the anti-ironic to develop a theory of language that is framed by the willed desire of perpetrators to use cruelty to produce a form of post-factuality the analysis describes as “informativeness.” This chapter advances a theory of social antagonism based on an analysis of the dynamics of envy, jealousy, honor, shame, purity that in turn are anchored by theoretical explanations emphasizing the psychodynamics of lack and loss, encapsulated by the concept of rival self-other.

Abstract:
This chapter concentrates on the mimetic theory of Rene Girard in evaluating foundational myths of violence. It shows Girard's notion of the scapegoating mechanism, whereby a substitute victim absorbs the mimetic animosities of the entire group and thereby promotes peace, as applicable to the disturbing tendency to direct violence outward toward exogenous groups. According to Girard, competition is the main source of human violence. His explanation, that violence has its roots in competition or mimetic rivalry, contributes to Thomas Hobbes, who also highlighted this cause of violence at the beginning of the modern era. The Abrahamic solidarity with the victim easily becomes an aggressive weapon if taking the side of the victim is not connected with the forgiveness of persecutors. Girard interprets the imitation of Christ in the context of rivalries prohibited in the tenth commandment of the First Testament.

Abstract:
This chapter analyzes the etiologies of hatred. It explores psychic and emotional constructions of indifference, devoid of genuine passion. Such mentalized constructions of indifference partially result from secondary psychic representations. The alien self is described as a rival self-other captivated by mentalized constructions that prevent empathetic vision during mass atrocity. Sight becomes beholden to social fantasies that transform external realities into ghosts and internal apparitions perpetrators flail against. The analysis emphasizes the primacy of cultural influences. In so doing it outlines the concept of ego-ideal to show how cultural influences determine not what to desire, but rather discipline how to desire. Mimetic rivalry is understood through the conceptual lens of identicality and the fantasmatic tyranny of minor difference, comprised of political reifications functioning as supererogatory ideals. This chapter explores the relationship between aggressivity and narcissism and concludes by exploring semiotic initiation and entry into language and the Lacanian Symbolic.

Abstract:
The devout self is constituted as a set of relationships: to itself, to the God it perceives as its creator and guide, and to those others whom it is obligated to love. Its relation to God is freely chosen, but although the choice of devotion involves a certain self-understanding this choice is not motivated primarily by reason. Instead, it is a matter of will or, more accurately, affection, manifest in the soul’s discovery of the convenience or fittingness of devotion to its own aptitudes. Reflection is however necessary to direct its practice especially with regard to the complex social situations in which devotion is to be lived and resisting the mimetic rivalry of the surrounding society.

Abstract:
This chapter introduces the often ignored problematic in the study of genocide and mass atrocity: why perpetrators demand that their victims suffer before death. The analysis underscores the relationship of culture and self-deception. It thus introduces the notion of performativity in human violation as a function of perpetrator demand for a “truth” that is ideologically desired but functionally unattainable. How are perpetrators, as theorized political subjects, constructed? The answers underscore the influences of desire, envy, and mimetic rivalry. Genocide, mass atrocity, and enemy-making are thus framed by political and social psychology, as well as by psychosocial theory, emphasizing disorders of will, self-deception, and the logics of illogic generated by emotional and psychological disorders of will demonstrated by perpetrator narcissism and sadistic cruelty that demands victims become complicit with their own humiliation.

Full text
Abstract:
This chapter examines seven case studies of the macabresque during the twentieth century. The macabresque is portrayed within each by adopting the “vignette” as a narrative form. A vignette is a patch, a semiotic sign, representative of a “mentality” that endows genocide and mass atrocity with a “noble” cause or “moral” if not, indeed, a “sacred” purpose. Similarities across cases of the macabresque emerge; but contrasts also appear that demonstrate major political, cultural, ideological, and attitudinal differences. These contrasts are not incidental side effects of violence. They reveal the relationships of social fantasy, specifically “thing-enjoyment” and mimetic desire and rivalry, in shaping not only ideological constructions of otherness but also the psychodynamics of a political ontology in which ideology is ontology. The case studies include the Armenian Genocide, Stalin’s purges, “Hitler’s Diabolical Laboratory,” blood trauma and the Rwandan Genocide, “Confessional Archives and Angkar’s Torture,” the Argentinian neo-inquisition, and “Bosnian Shame-Camps.”

Abstract:
In this article, I attempt to investigate human relationships in light of the French philosopher René Girard’s theory on mimetic desire. In the Norwegian TV series called “Lovleg”, produced by NRK, we follow a group of young people in their ongoing desire to be accepted by the other. Among the teenagers living in digs in Sandane, we are introduced to a wealth of identity problems that, more or less, all stem from desire, according to the others. Friendship in “Lovleg” is something very unstable and tinged with crass rivalry. However, even if the series reveals and highlights the competitive aspects of relationships, we witness a development where the main character, Gunnhild, despite her own problems, attempts to escape the tangled web of negative desire and sacrifices herself for the benefit of her best friend.

Abstract:
This chapter explores religious intertextuality in works by Jamal al-Ghitani, Najib Mahfuz and ‘Abd al-Hakim Qasim. It examines how al-Ghitani reworks elements of Ibn ‘Iyas’ Badaʿiʾ al-Zuhur fi’l-Waqaʿiʾ al-Duhur to bring out themes relating to the collusion of religion and power in Al-Zayni Barakat (1971) and how messianic thought and prophetic myth are deconstructed in Mahfuz’s Malhamat al-Harafish (1977). It analyses the reimagining of Christ’s crucifixion in ‘Abd al-Hakim Qasim’s short novel Al-Mahdi (1984) as a comment on modern-day religious violence and the practice of scapegoating, and discusses religious conflict in the text as an example of René Girard’s mimetic rivalry leading to communal self-purification through sacrifice. It also explores the dialogue with Islamic eschatology and dream narrative in Qasim’s Turaf min Khabar al-Akhira (1984), examining how the scene of the interrogating angels and pattern of judgement in the afterlife are transformed to communicate social and religious themes.

Abstract:
This chapter rehearses an answer to the following question: how did the pursuit of ‘advanced democracy’, as initially promised, develop into a new form of authoritarianism in Turkey, more than replicating the old one, shortly after the former regime was no more? The chapter describes a ‘loop’ throughout the history of political modernisation locally, notwithstanding some dramatic splits and reshuffles, ultimately submitting to a more profound level of recurrence and cloning of ‘desire’ in a common pool of amazingly resilient local political culture. In putting forward this contention, the discussion relies on Girard’s work on the machinations of basic human desire. Accordingly, desire is notably mimetic, modelled on the other. The model is none other than the ‘rival’, held subliminally in esteem, while being detested at the same time. The chapter argues that the new, populist authoritarianism in Turkey could be understood as a play of desire in this mould.
