see Oughourlian, The Mimetic Brain & others for more details. JO does interesting readings of Genesis and others to work this out. he's also a clinical psychologist who applies girardian theory in his work. his books are full of case studies. so you can read biblical literature as text to work this out, but beyond a certain horizon of course it's also worth looking into fields beyond this.

see also lacan - and hegel, and heidegger - for much more on desire/i is an other/socially constructed nature of all desires. much more.
