Abstrakt(y)
This article explores René Girard's anthropological perspective on religion, extending its application beyond conventional religious spheres to encompass broader societal phenomena. Girard's theory illuminates how mimetic processes influence cultural norms and institutions, particularly in the formation of religious practices and societal structures. At the core of Girard's framework lies the notion of the scapegoat mechanism, whereby communal tensions are alleviated through the scapegoating of a sacrificial victim, temporarily restoring social harmony. This article not only examines Girard's viewpoint but also critically engages with poststructuralist and substantive approaches to religion in religious studies. It will also contend how Girard's mimetic theory provides a valuable lens for analyzing the intricate dynamics of religion and societal order as it offers significant insights into the nexus of sacred beliefs, violence, and cultural narratives in contemporary contexts, underscoring the profound impact of religion on human behavior and social cohesion.
