Rene Girard

Girard’s work can assist in analyzing Messiah figures—including both Christ and Dionysis. So on one hand, I’m still considering each Messiah figure’s particular journey, but on the other hand, additionally, when I’m considering Dionysius, I’m getting to my earlier specialization in the History of Theater. For the new, language-brain-centered work I had begun doing in interpreting the language in my own brain-body: I began paying close attention to whether the words could be considered to have potential action within. I became very attentive to my non-fiction-based practice, paring down styles of rhetorical language within my younger years into my current terminology. This is where the Derrida was having the precedent I was looking toward in philosophical prose writing. To gravitate away from the regular writing of theater toward a focus on my own self character, language, and action—keeping Aristotle’s philosophy on Drama in mind, and then to get to looking at prose Language Philosophy.
