This article discusses the financial turmoil unleashed by the COVID-19 pandemic in March 2020. It argues that the market mayhem in which prices plummeted cannot be fully explained by real-economic factors such as uncertainty about the future global economy. Instead, I suggest analysing the events as a manifestation of financial contagion in which the mimesis of market participants becomes an independent explanatory force. In making this argument, the article returns to late nineteenth-century ideas about mimesis and social contagion as well as discussions about the collective mimesis – constitutive of a mimetic turn – that may result from social avalanches.
本文讨论2020年3月2019冠状病毒病大流行引发的金融动荡。它认为,价格暴跌的市场混乱不能完全用未来全球经济的不确定性等实体经济因素来解释。相反,我建议将这些事件分析为金融传染的表现,其中市场参与者的模仿成为一种独立的解释力量。在提出这一论点时,文章回到了19世纪晚期关于模仿和社会传染的观点,以及关于集体模仿的讨论——模仿转向的组成部分——这可能是由社会雪崩造成的。

Birth of Homo Mimeticus: Nietzsche, Genealogy, Communication Mimeticus人的诞生:尼采、谱系学、传播学
Q3 Arts and Humanities Pub Date : 2022-04-01 DOI: 10.3366/count.2022.0257

This article develops a genealogical account of the birth of homo mimeticus – out of mimetic communication. While genealogy tends to be suspicious of stable origins, a key advocate of the genealogical method such as Friedrich Nietzsche was deeply interested in diagnosing the evolution of non-verbal forms of ‘communication’ that, in his view, gave birth to language, consciousness, and culture. For the Nietzschean mimetic theory this article proposes, mimesis is thus not simply an image far removed from reality but an all too human, embodied, and relational form of communication that makes Homo sapiens an eminently social species. I argue that Nietzsche’s genealogy of the origins of language (out of mimetic reflexes) opens up a timely alternative to both the Scylla of (post)structuralist accounts of arbitrary linguistic signs and the Charybdis of speculative hypotheses on founding sacrificial murders. In the process, it may also pave the way for recent re-discoveries of the role mimesis played in the birth of that thoroughly original species we call, homo mimeticus.
这篇文章发展了一个关于模仿同性恋出生的系谱描述 – 出于模仿交流。虽然谱系学往往对稳定的起源持怀疑态度,但谱系学方法的主要倡导者,如弗里德里希·尼采,对诊断非语言形式的“交流”的演变非常感兴趣,在他看来,这种“交流”产生了语言、意识和文化。因此,对于本文提出的尼采模仿理论来说,模仿不仅仅是一种远离现实的形象,而是一种非常人性化、具体化和关系化的交流形式,使智人成为一个杰出的社会物种。我认为,尼采关于语言起源的谱系(出于模仿反射)为(后)结构主义对任意语言符号的描述的“锡拉”和关于建立牺牲谋杀的推测性假设的“查里迪斯”开辟了一个及时的替代方案。在这个过程中,它也可能为最近重新发现模仿在我们称之为同源模仿物种的诞生中所起的作用铺平道路。

This Is What Climate Change Looks Like: McKenzie Wark’s Post-Literary Critiques Give Equal Value to Participation 这就是气候变化的样子:麦肯齐·沃克的后文学批评给予参与同等的价值
Q3 Arts and Humanities Pub Date : 2022-04-01 DOI: 10.3366/count.2022.0264

This essay revisits a debate about literary fiction’s ability to depict the consequences of climate change. Philosopher McKenzie Wark’s 2017 essay, ‘On the Obsolescence of the Bourgeois Novel in the Anthropocene’, offers one of many critiques of climate fiction, such as Amitav Ghosh’s influential book, The Great Derangement. But while Ghosh sees a shortcoming in contemporary novels in their lack of representation of major climate events, Wark emphasises the importance of collective action, conversation, and connection, beyond the limits of literature. Since Wark’s intervention, the global School Strike for Climate in 2019 and 2020 brought more participatory post-literary forms to represent climate change. Jean-Luc Nancy’s theory of participation, that there is no mimesis without participation ( methexis), sees a tense relation between the two rather than an opposition or conflict. I argue that Wark, by not undervaluing participation, disrupts a hierarchy that privileges the imitator at the expense of the imitation. To explore this relation, I consider how the slogan ‘there is no Planet B’ forms a snapshot of our twenty-first-century mimetic condition, from which no imitative representation will save us. Can Wark expand the vision of another relational kind of femininity in her later writing to support the demand to take part in transformational action against climate catastrophe, beyond mimetic representation carried in the form of the novel?
这篇文章回顾了一场关于文学小说描绘气候变化后果的能力的辩论。哲学家麦肯齐·沃克(McKenzie Wark) 2017年的文章《论人类世资产阶级小说的过时》,是对气候小说的众多批评之一,比如阿米塔夫·高什(Amitav Ghosh)颇具影响力的著作《大错乱》(the Great Derangement)。然而,高希认为当代小说缺乏对重大气候事件的表现是一个缺点,而沃克则强调了集体行动、对话和联系的重要性,这些都超越了文学的局限。自沃克的干预以来,2019年和2020年的全球气候罢课带来了更多参与性的后文学形式来代表气候变化。jean - luc南希的参与,没有模仿不参与(methexis),认为两者之间的紧张关系,而不是一个反对或冲突。我认为沃克通过不低估参与,打破了以牺牲模仿为代价给予模仿者特权的等级制度。为了探索这种关系,我考虑了“没有行星B”的口号是如何形成我们21世纪模仿条件的快照的,没有模仿的表现将拯救我们。沃克能否在她后来的作品中拓展另一种关系型女性的视野,以支持参与应对气候灾难的变革行动的要求,超越以小说形式进行的模仿表现?

Mimesis and the Process of Becoming Human: Performativity, Repetition and Practical Knowledge Mimesis与人的形成过程:表现性、重复性与实践性知识
Q3 Arts and Humanities Pub Date : 2022-04-01 DOI: 10.3366/count.2022.0256

Although mimetic processes play an important role in the aesthetic experiences of art, literature, music, and theatre, they are also important in other areas. Mimetic processes are central to how human beings develop into humans. Plato and Aristotle were among the first to point this out. More recently, this ancient insight has been confirmed by research in evolutionary anthropology, neuroscience, and cultural anthropology. Cultural learning is essentially mimetic learning. It ensues through relationships with other people, as well as with nature, cultural objects, and artifacts. Hence, mimesis is of central importance for the development of cultural and practical knowledge. In this article, I argue that mimetic processes are processes of repetition and as such they are key elements both of memory and innovative action. They pave the way for innovations in post-literary cultures where a mimetic turn, or re-turn of attention to mimetic processes, is currently underway.
尽管模仿过程在艺术、文学、音乐和戏剧的审美体验中发挥着重要作用,但它们在其他领域也很重要。模拟过程是人类如何发展成为人类的核心。柏拉图和亚里士多德是最早指出这一点的人之一。最近,进化人类学、神经科学和文化人类学的研究证实了这一古老的见解。文化学习本质上是模仿学习。它通过与他人的关系,以及与自然、文化物品和文物的关系而产生。因此,模仿对文化和实践知识的发展至关重要。在这篇文章中,我认为模仿过程是重复的过程,因此它们是记忆和创新行动的关键元素。它们为后文学文化的创新铺平了道路,在后文学文化中,模仿转向,或将注意力重新转向模仿过程,目前正在进行中。

Mimetic Annihilation 模仿的毁灭
Q3 Arts and Humanities Pub Date : 2022-04-01 DOI: 10.3366/count.2022.0262
Hannes Opelz
What is the relationship between mimesis, biology and identity? I propose to explore this question here by turning to Alex Garland’s 2018 SF film Annihilation. Not least because it is identity that is eponymously annihilated in the film via what could be described as biomimetic processes. At stake in Garland’s film is an infinitely refracting mimetic process of genetic mutations and exchanges resulting in a fundamental alteration of human identity. When faced with ‘the Shimmer’ – the alien life-form causing mysterious transformations in what is called ‘Area X’ – the film’s protagonists are forced to shed their understanding of themselves as irreducibly singular, physically self-contained and conceptually inviolable beings. Revisiting the relationship between deconstruction and dialectics, art and genetics, plasticity and the sublime, the living and death, I argue that Garland’s annihilating mimesis reveals itself as a conditio biologica that puts into question our very notions of what constitutes the human.
拟态、生物学和同一性之间的关系是什么?我建议通过亚历克斯·加兰2018年的科幻电影《湮灭》来探讨这个问题。尤其是因为它的身份在电影中被同名湮灭,通过一种可以被描述为仿生的过程。在加兰的电影中,关键是一个无限折射的模仿过程,基因突变和交换导致了人类身份的根本改变。当面对“闪光”——在所谓的“X区”引起神秘变化的外星生命形式——电影的主角们被迫放弃他们对自己是不可简化的单一、身体上独立、概念上不可侵犯的生物的理解。重新审视解构与辩证法、艺术与遗传学、可塑性与崇高、生与死之间的关系,我认为加兰的湮灭模仿揭示了它本身作为一种生物条件,它对我们关于什么构成人类的概念提出了质疑。

The Undifferentiation of Mimetic Violence: From Oedipus to COVID-19 模拟暴力的无差别:从俄狄浦斯到新冠肺炎
Q3 Arts and Humanities Pub Date : 2022-04-01 DOI: 10.3366/count.2022.0258
G. Gebauer
In the Poetics Aristotle limited the concept of mimesis to the aesthetic relationship between drama and the actions of its mythical models. In the 1970s, having found representations of mimetic relationships in the myths themselves, René Girard argued that they are the cause of a violence that disrupts the mythical communities from within. Later, Girard extended the concept of mimesis to natural processes: By destroying the differences between model and imitation mimetic processes in nature and in the social world unleash violence. In this essay two important examples of dedifferentiation are discussed and compared: Sophocles’ Oedipus dramas and the COVID-19 pandemic crisis in our present time. In both examples, successive mimetic processes subvert the natural and economic foundations of the state, and primarily its framework of rights and duties. The pandemic process destroys the biological, political, and social systems of differences and gives rise to fights for domination over the state.
在《诗学》中,亚里士多德将模仿的概念局限于戏剧与其神话模型的行为之间的美学关系。20世纪70年代,勒内·吉拉德在神话本身中发现了模仿关系的表现,他认为这些关系是从内部扰乱神话社区的暴力的原因。后来,吉拉德将模仿的概念扩展到了自然过程:通过破坏自然和社会世界中模型和模仿过程之间的差异,释放暴力。本文讨论并比较了去分化的两个重要例子:索福克勒斯的俄狄浦斯戏剧和当代新冠肺炎大流行危机。在这两个例子中,连续的模仿过程颠覆了国家的自然和经济基础,主要是其权利和义务框架。疫情进程破坏了生物、政治和社会差异体系,并引发了争夺国家统治权的斗争。

The CounterText Interview: Jean-Luc Nancy Mimesis: A Singular-Plural Concept 反文本访谈:让-吕克·南希·米梅斯:一个单数复数概念
Q3 Arts and Humanities Pub Date : 2022-04-01 DOI: 10.3366/count.2022.0255
J. Nancy, N. Lawtoo
Here, in this dialogic supplement to a Homo Mimeticus seminar titled 'HOM Workshop with Jean-Luc Nancy: a partir du 'mythe Nazi', held at KU Leuven in December 2018, Nancy takes the recent return of attention to mimesis, or 'mimetic turn', as a starting point to reflect on the relationship between philosophy and literature. Adopting the mimetic form of a dialogue, Nidesh Lawtoo asks Nancy to take the 'fil conducteur' of mimesis to address his work and life in common with Philippe Lacoue-Labarthe, his involvement in the linguistic turn, structuralism, and deconstruction. As the dialogue unfolds, Nancy engages topics at the heart of his philosophical work, such as the subject, community, myth, fascism, and democracy, ending with his reflections on the COVID-19 pandemic and the sharing or partage it generates.

Apparatus of Capture: Music and the Mimetic Construction of Social Reality in the Early Modern/Colonial Period 捕捉的器具:音乐与近代早期/殖民时期社会现实的拟态建构
Q3 Arts and Humanities Pub Date : 2022-04-01 DOI: 10.3366/count.2022.0260

This paper supplements Gebauer and Wulf’s analyses of mimesis as a mechanism for the construction of social reality. After situating archaic musical mimesis in the context of Homeric performance and its critique in Plato, I demonstrate how musical mimesis functions as an assemblage of inscription of social mores and values through two case studies. The first examines how this mimetic mechanism is actualised in the 1589 Medici intermedi as an allegorical apparatus of capture that enables the sovereign to control the space and time of the performance. The second examines how this apparatus is redeployed by seventeenth-century Jesuit missionaries in South America to coerce nomadic Indigenous peoples into settlements known as ‘reducciones’. The paper advances an account of the darker role of musical mimesis in the dissymmetrical construction of social reality during the baroque: as a world-making tool of sovereign power and a world-destroying mechanism of epistemic genocide in colonised territories.
本文补充了格鲍尔和伍尔夫关于模仿作为社会现实建构机制的分析。在将古代音乐拟态置于荷马表演及其在柏拉图的批判背景下之后,我通过两个案例研究展示了音乐拟态是如何作为社会习俗和价值观铭文的集合发挥作用的。第一部分考察了这种模仿机制是如何在1589年的美第奇中间人身上实现的,它是一种寓言式的捕捉装置,使君主能够控制表演的空间和时间。第二部分考察了17世纪南美洲的耶稣会传教士如何重新部署这一机构,迫使游牧的土著人民进入被称为“减少”的定居点。本文阐述了音乐模仿在巴洛克时期社会现实不对称建构中的黑暗作用:作为主权权力的造世界工具和殖民地认知种族灭绝的毁灭世界机制。

Mimesis and/Is/as Restoration of Behaviour Mimesis和/Is/作为行为恢复
Q3 Arts and Humanities Pub Date : 2022-04-01 DOI: 10.3366/count.2022.0259
F. Deriu
In light of the paradigm shift which in Theatre Studies led to the emergence of a new (post)discipline that takes the notion of performance as its cornerstone, this essay discusses the productive convergence between mimesis and ‘restored behaviour’, namely the key process of every kind of performance in art, ritual, and ordinary life. This convergence can improve the understanding of the mimetic condition in the twenty-first century, provided we rely on a postmodern and, at the same time, pre-Platonic conception of mimesis. Even though ‘restored behaviour’ is not the same as mimesis, evidence for their proximity can be found in neuroscientist Merlin Donald’s theory of the evolution of the human mind, in which he locates a pre-verbal stage named ‘mimetic culture’. A final section draws some arguments from cognitive perspectives in evolutionary studies on literature in order to show how mimesis and performativity are likely to emerge as a pre-literary layer, confronting the present-day post-literary condition.
鉴于戏剧研究范式的转变导致了一门以表演概念为基石的新(后)学科的出现,本文讨论了模仿与“恢复行为”之间的生产性趋同,即艺术、仪式和日常生活中每种表演的关键过程。这种趋同可以提高对21世纪模仿状态的理解,前提是我们依赖后现代的,同时也是前柏拉图主义的模仿概念。尽管“恢复的行为”与模仿不同,但神经科学家梅林·唐纳德的人类思维进化理论中可以找到它们接近的证据,他在该理论中定位了一个名为“模仿文化”的言语前阶段。最后一节从文学进化研究的认知角度提出了一些论点,以表明模仿和表演是如何作为前文学层出现的,面对当今的后文学条件。

This convergence can improve the understanding of the mimetic condition in the twenty-first century, provided we rely on a postmodern and, at the same time, pre-Platonic conception of mimesis. Even though ‘restored behaviour’ is not the same as mimesis, evidence for their proximity can be found in neuroscientist Merlin Donald’s theory of the evolution of the human mind, in which he locates a pre-verbal stage named ‘mimetic culture’.
