| Summary: | This paper aims to offer a comprehensive overview of René Girard’s reflections on the issue of modern jihadism. It addresses three key aspects of his reasoning: (I) the rise of Islamic terrorism in the context of a globalization of resentment; (II) modern jihadism understood as an "event internal to the development of technology;" (III) the hypothesis that modern jihadism "is both linked to Islam and different from it." |
