[edit]

There is some more content under René Girard § Mimetic desire that could be split from that article and into this one. – Thjarkur (talk) 20:49, 24 January 2021 (UTC)Reply

Linear?

[edit]

The article says "...human desire, which Girard thought was not linear but the product of a mimetic process...". What does "linear" mean in this? What would non-linear be? In general, I think this article is a -1 on the enlightening scale; lots of buzzwords and little content. About all I get out of it is that people imitate each other, which does not exactly seem deep. Since I don't know anything about "mimetic theory", I can't fix that.
