Cet essai de René Girard présente et résume les concepts clés de sa théorie : le désir mimétique, le mécanisme victimaire et la révélation judéo-chrétienne. Comparant l'histoire de Milomaki, héros des Indiens yahunas, avec la légende d'Oedipe et les textes de persécution du Moyen Age, l'auteur démontre l'origine persécutrice de tous les mythes et l'universalité du phénomène du bouc émissaire. Pour la seule fois dans toute son oeuvre, René Girard débat ensuite avec trois anthropologues : Walter Burkert, Renato Rosaldo et Jonathan Z Smith. Cette discussion concerne le sacrifice et la domestication, mais aussi les "chasses aux têtes" et aux animaux sauvages. Répondant de façon très convaincante aux objections que soulève sa théorie, l'auteur éclaire d'un nouveau jour les origines sacrificielles de l'humanité.

Through the contextual analysis of the occurrences of solar deities in the Kuwattalla ritual texts, we will try to sketch a portrait of these deities, focusing on their functions in the ritual process. Special attention will be paid to the combination of ritual gestures with Luwian incantations, since the latter might help to define the specificities of each member of this divine group.

What are we doing when we gather around the sacraments -- or when we make the same breakfast every morning? Embodying rituals, says Dru Johnson. And until we understand what we're doing and why, we won't know how these rituals work, what they mean, or how we might adapt them. In Human Rites Johnson considers the concept of ritual as seen in Scripture and its role in shaping our thinking. He colorfully illustrates both the mundane and the sacred rituals that penetrate all of life, offering not only a helpful introduction to rituals but also a framework for understanding them. As he unpacks how rituals pervade every area of our lives, Johnson suggests biblical ways to focus our use of rituals, habits, and sacraments so that we can see the world more truly through them.
