In this book, Claudia Moser offers a new understanding of Roman religion in the Republican era through an exploration of sacrifice, its principal ritual. Examining the long-term imprint of sacrificial practices on the material world, she focuses on monumental altars as the site for the act of sacrifice. Piecing together the fragments of the complex kaleidoscope of Roman religious practices, she shows how they fit together in ways that shed new light on the characteristic diversity of Roman religion. This study reorients the study of sacrificial practice in three principal ways: first, by establishing the primacy of sacred architecture, rather than individual action, in determining religious authority; second, by viewing religious activities as haptic, structured experiences in the material world rather than as expressions of doctrinal, belief-based mentalities; and third, by considering Roman sacrifice as a local, site-specific ritual rather than as a single, monolithic practice.

Are social scientific theories and confessional theologies of sacrifice equally well suited as public discourse about religion? The French liberal Protestant theologians of the 5th Section of the École Pratique and the French doyen of sociology, Émile Durkheim and his two main followers, Henri Hubert and Marcel Mauss, engage in a struggle over the proper approach to sacrifice in the public university. The Durkheimians argued that theological language and assumptions were inappropriate for this purpose because of their confessional allegiances. Another approach to sacrifice, free of confessional entanglements, was required. This is what Hubert and Mauss sought to provide in the Sacrifice: Its Nature and Function.

La réflexion anthropologique a longtemps perçu dans le sacrifice sanglant une espèce d’énigme qu’elle s’est efforcée de résoudre, mais sans y parvenir. On s’est dit alors que le sacrifice en général, le sacrifice en soi, n’existe peut-être pas. L’hypothèse d’une illusion conceptuelle est légitime en tant qu’hypothèse mais, dans la seconde moitié du xxe siècle, elle s’est durcie en un dogme d’autant plus intolérant qu’il croit triompher de l’intolérance occidentale, de notre impérialisme de la connaissance. Sous l’emprise de ce dogme, la majorité des chercheurs a rejeté la théorie mimétique qui réaffirme la nature énigmatique du sacrifice et enracine son universalité dans la violence mimétique de tous les groupes archaïques. Pour illustrer la théorie mimétique, René Girard interroge la plus puissante réflexion religieuse sur le sacrifice, celle de l'Inde védique, rassemblée dans les vertigineuses Brahmanas. On trouve dans la Bible des violences collectives semblables à celles qui engendrent les sacrifices mais, au lieu de les attribuer aux victimes, la Bible et les Évangiles en attribuent la responsabilité à leurs auteurs véritables, les persécuteurs de la victime unique. Au lieu d'élaborer des mythes, par conséquent, la Bible et les Évangiles disent la vérité : on y trouve l'explication du processus sacrificiel, le processus victimaire ne peut donc plus servir de modèle aux sacrificateurs. En reconnaissant que la tradition védique peut conduire elle aussi à une révélation qui discrédite les sacrifices, loin de privilégier indûment la tradition occidentale et de lui conférer un monopole sur l'intelligence et la répudiation des sacrifices sanglants, l'analyse mimétique reconnaît des traits comparables mais jamais vraiment identiques dans la tradition indienne. Même si nous restons incapables de débrouiller vraiment le rapport qui unit et sépare ces deux traiditons, ces trois conférences nous permettent d'apprécier un peu mieux leur richesse et leur complexité.
