Documentary: Things Hidden: The Life and Legacy of René Girard

A couple of months ago, they made this documentary public on youtube. I just stumbled on it today. But for those that are intrested, it's a really nice documentary about the life and work of René Girard. Girard was a bit of a strange Catholic thinker, who mainly focused on literary studies. He popularised the idea of "mimetic desire" in the contemporary world. His works talk about: mimesis, desire, violence, myths, the sacred, sacrifice, the scapegoat and apocalyps. He has an intresting framework from which you can view the world (and yourself).

For those people that are interested... it's worth your time.

And for those people that are intrested in his theories... there is a great 7 episode series by Jonathan Bi, all free for you to consume.
