Girard René - Scapegoat

Rene Girard's Scapegoat audiobook is a study on the concept of scapegoat, which Girard sees as a key element of human society and culture. In his work, he analyzes how distinction and violence in society lead to the creation of victims who become the object of collective discontent and aggression.

Girard sees the scapegoat as a symbolic figure through which society relieves its guilt and tension by directing aggression at an individual or group, which helps temporarily restore social order. The book explores how this practice permeates not only religious and mythological traditions, but also modern cultural and social phenomena.

René Girard emphasizes the importance of understanding these mechanisms to understand and prevent violence in society. His work offers deep insights into how we perceive and interpret violence and victims, and how these concepts influence our social and cultural practices.
