L'imitation ne se contente pas de rapprocher les gens ; elle les sépare, et le paradoxe est qu'elle peut faire ceci et cela simultanément.

#RenéGirard / Shakespeare : les feux de l'envie (1990)

Eerily quiet here. Going to work on sprlng semester #syllabus for Comp 2 today. On Sunday, will begin to populate Blackboard sites. One potential joy: I will be teaching again the Honors Seminar on #ReneGirard. One hour a week, on Mondays. Classes begin Monday. #AcademicChatter

@tamarasiuda @ProfessorLoki I got more on this topic which I will share later. I build on another person's connections of the Karen dynamic with #ReneGirard and the #scapegoatmechanism.

@DataDrivenMD @mollyjongfast This dynamic is prime #ReneGirard: the cycle of #mimetic contagion and the #scapegoat dynamic that thrives on a #demagogue type feeding on #scandal which blurs the distinction between #sacred and #profane.
