Guy Lefort

Jean-Michel Oughourlian

This is the single fullest summation of the ideas of one of the most eminent and controversial cultural theorists of our time.

Things Hidden Since the Foundation of the World

Presenting an original global theory of culture, Girard explores the social function of violence and the mechanism of the social scapegoat. His vision is a challenge to conventional views of literature, anthropology, religion and psychoanalysis. Rene Gerard is the Andrew B. Hammond Professor Emeritus of French Language, Literature and Civilization at Stanford University, USA.
