Really loved this piece, and want to ask how something new ever emerges for Girard? I mean this beyond the change of weather, of seasons, of fashions. How does the mimetic hall of mirrors become broken, through contingency, chance? Should read up on the Event concept maybe. What is it for Girard though?

Tell me more about event concept. In any case, mimesis is pervasive but not all power in the lives of those who are aware of its operations. One can become aware of what is going on and choose not to be drawn into the rivalry or conflict. I try to live by that insight and it is amazing how often one can help deescalate a situation.
Ah, I think it's something Badiou talks about, and Zizek uses it with Antigone as a prime example, which may not take it out of bounds of the mimesis concept. Antigone's act of burying her brother is as much a spontaneous conviction and drive as it is a social convention (a prohibited one). The drive aspect may be what I'm fishing for.
