In this article, I would like to draw attention to the potentially violent outcome of exchange interactions between individuals and groups. Both Girard and Mauss examine violence in a wider social and political process.1 According to Mauss, the smallest difference, such as a lack of reciprocity, may evoke a desire for retribution. Understanding reactions when there is a lack of symmetry, real or illusory, can give us an important insight into the generative mechanisms behind violence. This is why traditional societies tried, often very successfully, to protect individuals through prohibitions and taboos. These prohibitions and taboos were directed against any kind of activity that could possibly result in violent rivalries among the population. The killing of adulterers, thieves, and foreigners can be seen as a way of ridding society of people perceived as having undesirable traits and ridding it of the potential imitation of their bad desires. In this way, a society's violence may function in a protective and anti-mimetic way. The violence against transgressors is a kind of mimetic anti-mimesis, a way of telling people to follow the rules of society so that they will become mimetically immune to the forces that threaten society.Violent victimizing appears to fulfill a generative function by preventing transgressions, moral cleansing, and restoration of peace. At the same time, however, it bears (unconsciously for the participants) a similarity to what one wishes to expel, namely, the feared violence and negative influence of the person or persons who are victimized. Despite attempts to expel violent transgressions, the attempts themselves are quite similar to the violence they are trying to exorcise. Both Freud and Girard argue that those who conduct a rite of sacrifice are projecting onto the sacrificial victim qualities that reflect some of their own innermost concerns.2 Sacrificial violence, seen from a modern, nonsacrificial standpoint, is a kind of suicide. By killing the other, one also kills something in oneself.Modern societies are full of these projections of one's own desires onto the other, which expose the modern variant of what is sacrifice, and which are often less physically but instead psychologically violent, yet still victimizing in their attitude of projecting. Terms such as “imitation,” “identification,” and “comparison” do not have to turn out to be violent—even when a great deal of competition is involved. In this respect, I disagree with some Girardians who claim that imitative desire must be violent and who look back to an insight going back to Heraclitus that violence is the source of all.4 The all-decisive factor is the gradual shift from competition to rivalry, from being allies to becoming enemies. The transition from being competitive friends to rivals comes as a result of imitation. Seen in this way, imitative desire is the generative force behind violence, the snake that turns friends and lovers into rivals.This Fr

This research seeks to dismantle the philosophical meaning of "celana" from various points of view in the collection of poetry Selamat Menunaikan Ibadah Puisi by Joko Pinurbo. As for the poems that were carefully selected, only three poems contained the diction "celana", namely “celana, 1”, “celana, 2”, and “celana, 3”. The approach used was Paul Ricoeur's Hermeneutic Approach. This approach is used to obtain various philosophical meanings of "celana" in more depth. The chosen method is a qualitative-descriptive method with repeated reading techniques. Then the findings of this research is the philosophical meaning of "celana" which includes three meanings. First "celana" in the real context, "celana" as achievements in the context of education, "celana" as provisions in the context of religiosity.

This research aims to describe the metaphorical meaning contained in the poem titled "Sajak Pertemuan Mahasiswa" as explained by Stephen Ullmann (1962). Ullmann categorizes metaphors into four types: anthropomorphic metaphor, animal metaphor, concrete-to-abstract metaphor, and synesthesia metaphor. The method used in this research is qualitative research. This qualitative research method uses content analysis to focus on studying literary works. Then, the writer uses library techniques to collect references from books and scientific works to support this research. This technique is continued with the use of note technique, namely numeric technique, in every methapor category. As for the presentation of research results, the author uses an informal method, namely the presentation of data in ordinary words, as a medium to convey the contents of this research. By categorizing the metaphorical meanings that have been collected, the writer discovers that the most categories are anthropomorphic metaphors and metaphors from concrete to abstract, whereas no data with related meanings is found in synesthesia metaphors.

This study discusses meaning field of verb cut in English. This study is aimed at finding out the lexemes of verb cut and the semantic features contained in each lexeme. The data source for this study is obtained from the research results of Levin (1993) and the iweb corpus. The data of this research only takes lexemes mentioned as group member of verb cut. The data are collected is by finding and writing off groups of cut verbs contained in the book and the corpus. Then after being collected, the data was analyzed by looking for definitions of the group of cut verbs from three dictionaries, namely the Oxford Dictionary of English, Merriam Webster Dictionary, and Longman English Dictionary. After that, the data were analyzed according to the components of meaning contained in the verb cut group. The results of this study indicate that there are 18 lexemes as members of verb cut and there are four semantic features consisting of activity, instrument, object and result features.

Court order are a scientific product of the legal process, so there should be no mistakes in writing court order because this can have fatal consequences for the legal process that has been carried out. Phrases as the smallest level in the syntax used to form sentences must be written correctly in a court order to avoid misinterpretation of a court order. This study will describe the various language errors at the phrase level that can be found in court order on homicide act of criminal. This research is a qualitative descriptive study. The data in this study are sentences containing language errors at the phrase level contained in a court order of homicide act of criminal in North Sumatra in 2020. The conclusions in this study are made inductively. Based on the analysis in this study, it can be concluded that there are six types of language errors, namely the influence of regional languages, inappropriate use of prepositions, wording errors, excessive use of elements, errors in the use of superlative forms, and pluralization of plural forms.
