Subject: Above and Beyon

Now, this doesn't really have a lot to do with specifics in the reading, but it's more of a general application that I've come to realize. I went home this weekend and over dinner one night I was discussing some of the points of Girard's Mimesis theory, the scapegoat mechanism, violence and the sacred, etc. I came to realize in the discussion that this theory, while presented as mainly a literary theory, also deals quite a bit with culture, psychology, sociology, religion, and more. Girard's theory is presented in a literary context, but many bits and pieces of it can and are applied to many aspects of the human life.
