La “teoría mimética” de René Girard y su aporte para la comprensión de la migración

Resumen

In this article the author explores the extent of Rene Girard's theory to understand migration phenomenon. To this end, a brief description of the theory and a characterization of the migration are presented. Subsequently, it raises the need to explore new perspectives on migration beyond the positivist approach in the human sciences which leaves the contribution of a philosophical understanding out. In this sense, girardian philosophy is pertinent to understand several types of migration: irregular immigration, forced displacement and refuge. Finally, the author proposes a praxis to avoid, or at least minimizes, the persecutory mimetic process related to migration.
