I see Satan Fall Like Lightning, Deceit Desire and the Novel, then Things Hidden and whatever else you want.

But honestly stop asking where to start and start with whatever interests you the most.

>> No.17240481

this book "Rene Girard's Mimetic Theory" is a good overview

>> No.17242049

>>17239457
Not the OC. From Hegel: The master-slave dialectic;read Kojeve's lectures. From Lacan you only really need to know one thing: desire is always the desire of the Other.

>> No.17242730

Mimetic theory is unfalsifiable and scientifically unproven.

Rene Girard's fantasy world by Hallpike

>> No.17242958

I’ve only read I See Satan Fall Like Lightning but I thought it was a pretty ideal starting point—a more concise synthesis of his main ideas, written for a slightly less academic audience than some of his earlier stuff and focused on the relevant applications in Christianity

>> No.17243576

Best girard imo is "battling to the end" it is Girard on Clausewitz. It is girard at his weakest away from anthropology and shit but it is girard at his most apocalyptic (therefore best)

"Hegel was wrong, history is not between master and slave but a battle to the death between twins." or some shit
