Violence and the Sacred (French: La violence et le sacré) is a 1972 book about the sacred by the French critic René Girard, in which the author explores the ritual role of sacrifice. The book received both positive reviews, which praised Girard's theory of the sacred, and more mixed assessments. Some commentators have seen the book as a work that expresses or points toward a Christian religious perspective. However, the book has also been seen as "atheistic" or hostile to religion. Violence and the Sacred became highly influential, in anthropology, literary criticism, and even Christology. It has been compared to the classicist Walter Burkert's Homo Necans (1972). Girard further developed its ideas in a subsequent book, Things Hidden Since the Foundation of the World (1978).

dbo:abstract
  • La violència i el sagrat (en francès: La Violence et le sacré) és un llibre de 1972 de l'antropòleg francès René Girard. Girard va ser guardonat amb el Premi de l'Acadèmia Francesa per aquest llibre, que va escriure mentre era professor de la Universitat Estatal de Nova York a Buffalo. Chris Fleming comenta que La violència i el sagrat, "representa la primera etapa important de l'exploració de Girard de les ramificacions de la seva teoria del desig mimètic en relació amb l'antropologia, la tragèdia grega i la mitologia." Norman O. Brown va escriure que La violència i el sagrat està influenciada per l'obra de Georges Bataille, i considera que l'objectiu és espantar la gent perquè torni a la religió ortodoxa. (ca)
