| dc.description.abstract | Rene Girard has always seen in Shakespeare's work a supreme example of his mimetic theory applied with genius in a dramatic context. He sees in King Lear a kind of summa which brings to 'a sharp focus . .. the mimetic vision.' Using key Girardian concepts like mimetic desire and rivalry, the crisis of Degree, sacred violence, and the victimage mechanism as hermeneutical tools, and applying them rigorously and systematically to the text may yieldfresh and illuminating insights into one of the greatest tragedies of Shakespeare. | spa |

Ve en el Rey Lear una especie de summa que pone "en evidencia... la visión mimética". El uso de conceptos girardianos clave, como el deseo y la rivalidad miméticos, la crisis del grado, la violencia sagrada y el mecanismo de victimización, como herramientas hermenéuticas, y su aplicación rigurosa y sistemática al texto, pueden aportar una visión fresca y esclarecedora de una de las mayores tragedias de Shakespeare. | spa |
