Mimetic desire profoundly influences our behavior and our societies. Based on imitation, it shapes our desires according to those of others. But this dynamic, a driving force for emulation, can also generate destructive rivalries. When two individuals or groups covet the same object, the tension can intensify to the point of violence, a reality that spans eras and cultures. To contain this violence, traditional societies have often resorted to sacrifice. By designating an expiatory victim, they managed to reestablish a temporary balance, a universal and brutal practice. However, Christianity broke this logic by revealing the violence of the sacrificial mechanism and by offering an alternative based on forgiveness and love. This upheaval marked a major rupture, replacing bloody sacrifices with symbolic rites. However, as spirituality fades, sacrificial mechanisms reappear in modern forms: wars, ideological divisions, designation of new scapegoats. Without transcendence, mimetic tensions intensify, threatening our societies. The contemporary challenge lies in the choice of our models of imitation. Should we reproduce rivalry or build a future based on cooperation and constructive emulation? René Girard offers us tools to understand these modern crises. At a time when archaic instincts are resurfacing, which model will we choose to imitate? These reflections open an essential path to rethinking our social dynamics and overcoming cycles of violence. The mystery remains: what solutions will emerge in the face of these challenges? Sylvain Durain develops this fascinating subject with Raphaël Besliu, live on Géopolitique Profonde.
