Des traits de la victime émissaire dans les enjeux du monde contemporain
TL;DR: In this article, Rene Girard revisited quelques problematiques and paradoxes importants dans l’analyse de la culture and du monde contemporains.
Abstract: L’objectif de ce travail est de souligner quelques problematiques et paradoxes importants dans l’analyse de la culture et du monde contemporains chez Rene Girard, en lien avec la question de la victime emissaire. Les projets du christianisme et de la modernite ont-ils echoue ? Assistons-nous a un oubli progressif de la raison grecque et du prophetisme juif dans la culture occidentale ? Allons-nous vers un progres de la civilisation ou vers la barbarie ? Vers une nouvelle Renaissance ou vers l’Apocalypse ?

TL;DR: Girard as discussed by the authors defines the deferral of violence through representation as a paradoxical tool which not only defines the human but also proposes a means to defer violence through the representation.
Abstract: Q: Prof. Girard, the forthcoming issue of Anthropoetics is devoted to your work and I would like to take the opportunity of this interview to establish a dialogue between your work and Generative Anthropology. Let me start with what one could call a basic definition of GA: “The deferral of violence through representation”. This definition brings together in a unique way key elements of modern thinking: the notion of violence, which is central to your work, and deferral, an essential Derridean concept. GA, finally, focuses on representation as a paradoxical tool which not only defines the human but also proposes a means to defer violence. How do you evaluate this new way of thinking?
