Letter from the Editor

Let me raise four administrative matters:

(1) We ask you to send us your contributions to the Bulletin on a diskette or by e-mail. It greatly simplifies the publication of the Bulletin.

(2) If you would like to write a book review for the Bulletin please contact the editorial office or James G. Williams, the executive secretary. The length of a review should be between 600 and 1000 words. Longer reviews (at most 2000 words) will only be published in special circumstances.

(3) Membership renewals for 1993 are due. Please note that membership includes subscription to the Bulletin. The regular membership fee is $30.00. Matriculated students may enroll for $15. It is also possible to subscribe to the Bulletin without membership for $15. The Bulletin appears biannually. Concerning the Bulletin, I would encourage you, if you have a faculty appointment, to ask your library to take out a standing subscription. The rate for libraries is $30 per year. Please send dues to our address in Sonoma, Ca. or to our European address. Europeans should send a eurocheque in Austrian Schillings (not in Dollars).

(4) In this issue of the Bulletin we published the addresses of all COV&R members. Some of you gave us also your fax-number and your e-mail-address. If you want to share your fax-number or your e-mail-address too please contact the editorial office or the executive secretary. We want to republish the addresses in one of the next issues. Please give us also a note if you find mistakes in the list of addresses.

We are always interested to improve our Bulletin. If you have any comments please tell us.

Abstracts of the COV&R- Conference in San Francisco November 20, 1992

Charles Mabee (UMHE Oakland University/Ecumenical Theological Center, Detroit), René Girard and Rudolf Bult mann: The Problem of Myth

This paper is a comparison of the thought of Girard and Bultmann inspired by the latter's program of demythologization. Girard does not employ such a method because he does not perceive the same thorough-going mythological structure of the NT as does Bultmann. Girard understands the language of the NT to be grounded in the Passion of Jesus, and only incidentally mythological. Furthermore, Girard's approach is not as thoroughly hermeneutical in orientation as is Bultmann's in the sense that the latter really allows the worldview of the modern reader to "set the conceptual table" for NT interpretation. Girard understands the NT as un masking and demystifying the oppressive groundwork of modern thought through its fundamental solidarity with the victim.

The paper concludes with reference to additional points of comparison between Bultmann and Girard: Issues raised include Girard's apparent disregard for the historical-critical methodologies which informed Bultmann, divergent understandings of the meaning of the NT as the Word of God, and the differing roles of the concept of history in the thought of each. The final point is made that Bultmann remains in many ways still a central challenge if the world of NT scholarship is to be embraced in a meaningful way from the Girardian perspective.

Robert G. Hamerton-Kelly (Stanford University), Comment on C. Mabee's paper

Charles Mabee takes up the important task of establishing Girardian interpretation as one of the recognized options in New Testament studies and makes a fine contribution by comparing it with the interpretive theory of the most influential 20th century Protestant interpreter of the New Testament, Rudolf Bultmann. Mabee correctly focuses attention on the difference in the understanding of philosophy and mythology which is a difference in the appreciation of the role of the GMSM (generative mimetic scapegoating mecha nism). Bultmann is simply unaware of the GMSM and so perpetuates a mythic interpretation in terms of the mythology of the modern world in its scientistic and solipsistic (existentialist) philosophic mode.

Bultmann mixes a scientistic critique of the New Testament with an existentialist epistemology in which there are no "timeless truths" but only the "encounters in history." History is predomi nantly verbal; one encounters God in the preaching of the Church. To this Girard opposes the text of the Bible, which is robustly referential, as the place where God is encountered in the disclosive power that unmasks the GMSM. It is ironic that the Catholic should emphasize the Biblical text while the Protestant magnifies the Church!

Mabee gives a fine account of the two positions but he does not touch the real problems, which are the, for want of a better term, epistemological ones. What is the relation between scientism and existentialism in Bultmann? Do they not cancel each other in the sense that if there are no "timeless truths" why should the positivist world view be taken as authoritative and, contrariwise, if the positivist world view is true then we have "timeless truths" and the existentialist position is untenable? What is the implication of the mimetic nature of the subject for the subject-object relations hip? Mabee has given us a useful exposition; now the critical analysis should begin. It will show that Girard accounts more cogently for more things than Bultmann does.

René Girard (Stanford University), Comment on C. Mabee's paper

In his response to Charles Mabee's excellent paper on Bultmann and himself, Girard pointed out that for him, far from being primarily the object of demythologization, the Gospels are the source of it. His definition of myth, and Bultmann's, is really a surrender to modern immanentism.

Leo G. Perdue (Brite Divinity School), on The Bible, Violence & the Sacred, by James G. Williams

In this important book, James Williams accepts Professor Girard's general hypothesis about scapegoating and argues that his work provides the basis for a new Christian humanism. In examining biblical texts, from Genesis through the Gospels, Professor Williams' Girardian thesis follows two interweaving paths. The first path leads to the realization that the essence of Judaism and Christianity is the common defense of all victims. The second path leads to the recognition that, in the Bible, there is a steady evolving of "liberation from the myth of sanctioned violence," culminating in the God Man of the Gospels who, in becoming a victim, offers a visionary and radical maneuver that steps outside the destructive, spiraling web of violence to posit an imaginative world of new creation whose reality is secured apart from the horrors of victimage and scapegoating.

The major questions with this approach follow: how realistic is it for liberation movements that are seeking to escape from the oppression of dominant groups to be content with passive non-resistance to violence and victimage? What does it mean for God to be a God of victims? If God is to defend victims, how is this done? Even more basic, what of justice and the moral imperative for humans to defend victims from their oppressors? How do humans defend victims, apart from acts of violence?

In spite of these questions, this is a splendid application of Girardian theory to the Bible. This is a book to which one will return many times, for each reading will yield new insights into the most troubling problem of human existence.

René Girard (Stanford University), Comment on L. Perdue's paper

Girard also commented on the mimetic interpretation of rhetorical figures in James Williams's THE BIBLE, VIOLENCE, AND THE SACRED. He sees the book as a most important contribution to mimetic theory and Biblical studies.

James G. Williams (Syracuse University), Response to Leo Perdue

I would like to thank Leo Perdue for a carefully composed evaluation of my book. He laid out the argument and some of the issues with keen insight.

There are three levels of mimesis, which I presuppose and state but do not systematically develop in the book: (1) Level 1--the good mimesis of God or the rule of God. (2) Level 2--the effective mimesis that enables culture to work on the basis of a sacrificial mechanism. (3) Level 3--the bad mimesis in which the acquisitive aspect of imitating others breaks out of the bounds of differentiation, the modes of mediation that culture establishes. The Nietzschean tradition has sought to uncover level 3 (though not recognizing it as mimesis) and tends to oscillate between levels 2 and 3, while considering level 1 no longer actual (the "death of God"). We exist and relate to others primarily at level 2. One valid response to being deprived of the benefits of level 2 is to fight against perceived injustice or to serve as advocate for victims. However, there are those who are called to a witness without which we would not survive and remain open to the transcendence of the God of love: these are the ones who are strong and able to fight but who do not reciprocate by imitating the violence of the other.

 

Reviews

Frank Graziano, Divine Violence: Spec tacle, Psychosexuality, and Radical Christianity in the Argentine "Dirty War." Boulder, San Francisco, Oxford: Westview Press, 1992. 328 pp. Hdb. $49.95. Pb. $18.95.

In Argentina's "dirty war" (1976-1983), thousands of innocent victims--men, women, and children--were noisily abducted, elaborately tortured and then unceremoniously dispatched by agents of its military Junta, all in the name of "'Western and Christian civilization.'" Frank Graziano undertakes to ask why in a manner that far surpasses the usual critique of right-wing ideology. His answer ranges over virtually the entire corpus of contemporary French theory. Foucault, Lyotard, Lacan, de Certeau, Derrida, and Girard all have a role in producing a kind of deep archeology of state terror. That is a mixed bag and the results are commensura tely discomfiting, perturbing. But the endeavor is commendable if the theoretical imperative which engrosses us today has any practical merit.

Graziano is scrupulous in reporting repulsive details, not for their sensational effects, but in a conscientious effort to bring out the deepest significance one can hope to extract from this grisly material for understanding the nexus binding power, fear, and desire.

The Junta's real impotence to govern issued in a "mythologics, or "mythologized reality," requiring the invention of a demonized Enemy whose imaginary menace was sustained, rather than brutally suppressed, by stylized, ritually theatricalized torture. While availing itself of Christian eschatological and apocalyptic tradition, the Junta constructed its own salvific identity on those whom it demonized and destroyed.

A perverse strategy of clandestine and subtly broadcast violence, publicly denied and spectacularly deployed, held public protest in check via an amalgam of fear and suspicion which rendered the citizenry accomplice by its passivity. The result was a veritable deconstruction of the difference between doers of dirty deeds and those who at all times feared being done in: "In a closed system without exits, public knowledge terrorizes as much as public ignorance. The boundaries between knowing and supposing, between knowing and denying, fade" (82).

Graziano's argumentation is lucid and perceptive throughout, especially where he makes use of Foucault. Where this reader demurs is on the final sense the author makes of this hideous episode. Chapter IV, "In the Name of the Father," uncovers "an Oedipal structure of 'dirty war' violence," where Oedipal is unders tood as "Lacanian in essence" (164), though on the other hand Graziano's point is to articulate this psychosexual drama with the Girardian thematics of mimetic rivalry and sacrificial substitution.

It appears that these hoodlums were engaged in a self-defeating struggle for phallocentric domination, of which the picana, a torture instrument, functioned as the preferred signifier: "The picanauk-phallus metonymically represented the Junta's desire for the power it lacked, a desire that was ritually satisfied through the repetitive enactment of a psychosexual drama during torture" (161). My summary and quotes do not do justice to the author's careful articulation of Lacan with Girard, but they do, I hope, capture its implausibility. Despite the Girardian provenance of its final chapter, entitled "Sacrifice and the Surrogate Victim," the book tilts fully towards a psychoanalysis of the "dirty war": "Consolidating the sacrificial model with the Oedipal drama as these pertain to torture/execution in the Argentine detention centers, one may posit the following: The son/Sacrificer (Junta), victimized by a lack (ultimately of power-phallus), mimed the behavior of the Fat her/Deity (Enemy) who caused and represented the threatening deficiency " (200). Refinements of this consolidation only enhance its incongruity, not to say its grotesquerie: "The sacrificial victim, the overdetermined desaparecido, was a surrogate repre senting first the Oedipal Father but then also the murdered Father's menacing absence, his symbolic presence, the function that the Father fulfilled as the Law insofar as he was dead" (200).

One does not get to the bottom of things by substituting one mythic explanation, that of Freud or Lacan, for another, that of neo-Christian eschatology. It inevitably yields this kind of inter pretive enormity (the brackets are the author's interpolations): "In the beginning was the Word [phallus-power/Law], and the Word was with God [Name-of-the-Father], and the word was God [Law = Name of the Father]" (204). Such contortions are only conceivable if we leave Girard (and his interpretation of Scripture) far behind, having decided at the outset on the authority of post-Freudian schemata. Thus Freud's (and Guy Rosolato's) reading of the crucifixion, as displacing father-religion by son-religion, is accepted at face value (206); Christian Communion, "the regularly performed sacrificial ritual of Christianity, the mass," (208) is assimilated, via some Aztec lore, to cannibalism; and "the body and blood of Christ" are conflated, via an assist from Northrop Frye, with the destiny of Osiris, Orpheus, and Pentheus (210).

This kind of confusion is perhaps inevitable, once psychoanalysis, with its genius for signifier substitutions, displacements and contortions where concrete evidence is lacking, is elected as the word on the Word, as the oracle of interpretation. The "dirty war" lamentably invites this choice by so much evidence of its horrific mix of sex and pain, but its interpretation does not come to rest in the map charted by Freud and Lacan. Back to the drawing board then, but with Graziano's grimly important book in hand, a deft and well researched argument in service to a futile, even at times trivial, line of reasoning.

Bruce Chilton, The Temple of Jesus: His Sacrificial Program Within a Cul tural History of Sacrifice. University Park, PA: Penn State Press, 1992. 209 pp. Hardbound, n.p.

Some members of COV&R were present at Stanford March 1, 1990 when COV&R had its beginning. At that initial meeting Bruce Chilton summarized the first four chapters of his book in progress, with René Girard responding. This book is the completion of that work in progress. It is significant for its attempt to put sacrifice in the context of an anthropological perspective and to evaluate the contribution of Girard to understanding sacrifice as a religious and cultural phenomenon. The treatment is divided into three major parts: theory, setting in ancient Israel and the work of Josephus, and argument concerning Jesus's understanding of sacrifice and the Jerusalem temple. There are three appendixes, in one of which he extends his chapter on Girard's analysis of sacrifice with a critique of Things Hidden since the Foundation of the World.

Chilton's thesis is that Jesus's "occupation" of the Jerusalem Temple has nothing to do with "destroying the fabric of the edifice itself" (100). What he intended was not an attack on the sacrificial system as such; it was rather that God's forgiveness is "the condition in which sacrifice is rightly offered..." (133), rather than the condition sacrifice brings about as a remedy.

What Jesus prophetically demanded was pure sacrifice, which required the condition of forgiveness and the offering of animals owned and provided by a forgiven, purified Israel. When the dispute of Jesus and the authorities over purity and sacrifice "resulted in the defeat of Jesus within the precincts of the Temple, his social eating took on a new and scandalous element: the claim that God preferred a pure meal to impure sacrifice in the Temple" (154). This point concerning the communion meal connects the treatise to the argument developed in the first five chapters, where the author calls into question Girard's model of sacrifice as the controlling outlet of mimetic desire and rivalry, presenting instead the meal as the best model for understanding sacrifice.

Chilton's argument and his appreciative critique of Girard should be of great interest to COV&R members and all those who take the mimetic theory seriously. His argument concerning Jesus and sacrifice is obviously very debatable from the standpoint of the mimetic theory. The discussion begun at Stanford in 1990 and continued in this book will be further extended in two articles, one by Chilton and one by me, to be published in the 1993 issue of Bulletin of Biblical Research. Chilton's article is a review-essay on my book, The Bible, Violence, and the Sacred, that includes a sketch of Girard's mimetic theory. In my response to his review I raise three issues about Chilton's critique of Girard's research and my book that are also relevant to this book review. These are Chilton's understanding of Girard's concept of mimesis, differentiation and sacrifice in Girard's work and my own, and Chilton's model for understanding sacrifice. Summarized very briefly and roughly, I argue the following: (1) Mimetic desire is not inherently or inevitably covetous rivalry, although Girard has not always been consistent in his use of terms. He conceives also of "effective" mimesis, that is, the operation of an underlying scapegoat mechanism that enables culture to work; and the "good" or "ideal" mimesis of Christ or the kingdom of God. In other words, "mimesis" and "mimetic desire" have three related yet distinct meanings. (2) Sacrifice can be "effective" as the expression of effective mimesis, in that it is better than the alternative of a mimetic crisis and wholesale conflict or violence. However, sacrifice is generated by violence and entails the justifica tion of victimization, even if in a muted or camouflaged form. In a vision of the new divine-human community proclaimed by the gospel, it will come to an end. (3) The meal or festal consumption model of sacrifice has little or no explanatory power by comparison to the mimetic model. The meal simply presupposes the differentia tions and ritual acts that must be explained.
