Research output: Chapter in Book / Conference PaperChapter

Abstract

This paper develops a concept of mimesis as mimetic communication, shows why affect is central to it, and argues for its usefulness in the analysis of a range of social and cultural processes at the same time as it can be seen to link human beings to the rest of the natural world.
