Cosi fan tutte, An Opera of Mimetic Revelation - Studies in Violence, Mimesis & Culture
Isabel Diaz-Morlan
Isabel Díaz-Morlán reads the characters of Così fan tutte, an opera by Mozart and Da Ponte, through the lens of René Girard’s theory of unconscious mimetic desire. The book explores the sources of the libretto, comparing them with each other and with the libretto itself to detect the themes that reveal the mechanism of mimetic desire.
