ÍDOLOS Y SACRIFICIOS, UN GIRARD OLVIDADO.

IDOLS AND SACRIFICES, A FORGOTTEN GIRARD.

GIRARD, Rene, 1923-2015; LIBERATION theology; SACRIFICE in Christianity; CHRISTIANITY; PASSION of Jesus Christ; SOCIAL marginality; APATHY

Beyond the stereotypes and simplifications of René Girard's work, this paper defends the critical, independent and complex character of his thought. One year after his death and in the 25th anniversary of his dialogue with several liberation theologians, we come back to the proceedings of the meeting. In this volume we can recognize the richness and nuances of Girard's thinking, exemplified in his perspective on the Christ's Passion, that he originally regarded as a non-sacrificial narrative, and then accepted as sacrificial, but keeping his own denunciation of the logic of sacrifice and agreeing with the theologians present at the meeting about its relation with the persistence of poverty, exclusion, and indifference.

Más allá de los clichés y de las simplificaciones que se aplican a la obra de René Girard, este trabajo reivindica el carácter crítico, independiente y complejo de su pensamiento. Un año después de su muerte y en el 25o aniversario de su diálogo con teólogos de la liberación, volvemos nuestra atención a las memorias de este encuentro. Se trata de una muestra de la riqueza y de los matices de su pensamiento, ejemplificados en su perspectiva respecto a la Pasión, antes considerada como una narración antisacrificial y después revalorada como sacrificio, a pesar de lo cual Girard mantiene su propia denuncia de las lógicas del sacrificio, generadoras de víctimas de la pobreza, la exclusión y la indiferencia, de acuerdo con los teólogos del encuentro.
