The field of anthropology has long been acknowledged as one of the most secular of the academic disciplines. Accordingly, the theoretical frameworks adopted by anthropologists largely operate under a guise of secularity, seeking to sequester the discipline from the purview of theology. However, recent developments in anthropology have raised afresh the question of the philosophic foundations of the discipline and reintroduced an explicit connection to theology. Building on these developments, this paper proposes that René Girard’s mimetic theory provides a helpful framework for Christian scholars working in anthropology. Specifically, the paper explores the implications of Girard’s mimetic theory for the sub-field of the anthropology of education by providing an overview of Girard’s theory in the context of the field’s key concepts. The paper argues that Girard’s focus on the Gospel narrative and the Cross as epistemological keys to unveiling the violence of culture could have profound ramifications to the study of education as a process of cultural (re)production. By opening up this lens of analysis, the paper suggests that Girard’s mimetic theory may provide an avenue for moving towards a distinctly theological approach to anthropology. |
