MIMESIS
The term mimesis has long been used to refer to the relationship
between an image and its ‘real’ original. However, recent theorists have
problematized and extended the concept, allowing new perspectives
on such key concerns as the nature of identity. Matthew Potolsky offers
a clear introduction to this potentially daunting concept, examining:
• the foundations of mimetic theory in ancient philosophy, from Plato
to Aristotle
• three key versions of mimesis:
imitatio
or rhetorical imitation,
theatre and theatricality, and artistic realism
• the position of mimesis in modern theories of identity and culture,
through theorists such as Freud, Lacan, Girard and Baudrillard
• the possible future of mimetic theory in the concept of ‘memes’,
which connects evolutionary biology and theories of cultural repro-
duction.
An accessible and broad-ranging study of a term rapidly returning
to the forefront of contemporary theory,
Mimesis
will be a welcome
guide for readers in such fields as literature, performance and cultural
studies.
Matthew Potolsky
is Assistant Professor of English at the University
of Utah where he teaches literary theory and modern British and
comparative literature. He is co-editor of
Perennial Decay: On the
Aesthetics and Politics of Decadence
(1999) and has published on theory
and late nineteenth-century writing.

The New Critical Idiom
is an invaluable series of introductory guides to
today’s critical terminology. Each book:
• provides a handy explanatory guide to the use (and abuse) of the term
• offers an original and distinctive overview by a leading literary and
cultural critic
• relates the term to the larger field of cultural representation.
With a strong emphasis on clarity, lively debate and the widest possible
breadth of examples,
The New Critical Idiom
is an indispensable approach
to key topics in literary studies.
