The Australian Girard Seminar

AGS’s first book, “Violence, Desire, and the Sacred: Girard’s Mimetic Theory Across the Disciplines”, will be published in August 2012 with Continuum. For more information (or to order), please click here.

The book is an edited collection of Australian and international scholars utilising Girard’s mimetic theory across different academic disciplines, including literature, biblical studies, theology, political and historical studies, and philosophy. The collection shows where current scholarship in mimetic theory stands. It includes contributions from renown scholars, such as James Alison, Vijay Mishra, Jeremiah Alberg, Tony Kelly and Neil Ormerod.

It emerged from AGS’s first conference in 2011 and is edited by Assoc. Prof. Scott Cowdell (President, AGS), Dr. Chris Fleming (Vice-President, AGS) and Dr. Joel Hodge (Secretary/Treasurer, AGS).
