The term mimesis has long been used to refer to the relationship between an image and its "real" original. However, recent theorists have problematized and extended the concept, allowing new perspectives on such key concerns as the nature of identity. Matthew Potolsky offers a clear introduction to this potentially daunting concept, examining:
DT the foundations of mimetic theory in ancient philosophy, from Plato to Aristotle
DT three key versions of mimesis: imitation or rhetorical imitation, theatre and theatricality, and artistic realism
DT the position of mimesis in modern theories of identity and culture, through theorists such as Freud, Lacan, Girard and Baudrillard
DT the possible future of mimetic theory in the concept of "memes," which connects evolutionary biology and theories of cultural reproduction.
An accessible and broad-ranging study of a term rapidly returning to the forefront of contemporary theory, Mimesis will be a welcome guide for readers in fields such as literature, performance and cultural studies.
