Apocalypse Deferred: Girard and Japan
Jeremiah L. Alberg
The thought of René Girard on violence, sacrifice, and mimetic theory has exerted a strong influence on Japanese scholars. In this collection of essays, originating from a Tokyo conference on violence and religion, scholars call on Girardian ideas to address apocalyptic events that have marked Japan's recent history as well as other aspects of, primarily, Japanese literature and culture.
