LIBRARY OF SOCIAL SCIENCE BOOK EXHIBITS
 COV&R was founded in 1990 to explore and develop René Girard’s mimetic theory of the relationship between violence and religion in the genesis and maintenance of culture. Girard holds that we borrow our desires from others, leading to rivalry and the threat of violence—which are the core foundations of all religions, societies and cultures. COV&R’s annual conference is devoted to mimetic theory, scapegoating, sacrifice, violence and religion—to the interplay of mimesis with psychology, neuroscience, economics and globalization—and its applications to literature, cultural anthropology, history and religious texts.
This is the best meeting of the year to promote your titles on religion in its relationship to violence, politics and culture—to some of the most prominent scholars in the world from the fields of anthropology, literature, psychiatry, psychology, neuroscience, religious studies, law and sociology.
