Christine Orsini begins this volume as she began our conference at the Institute Catholique de Paris, welcoming us to commemorate the centenary of René Girard's birth. It was a powerful and symbolic meeting, not symbolic in the usual etymological sense of two halves of a broken medal rejoined to identify members of a secret society to each other, but a public reunion of members of AAR, COV&R, and ‘Girardians’ from all over the world who have worked to develop further his ideas. I will never let go of this feeling of fusion generated by seeing all the people I have known over the years, but also by the promise of so many acute readers of Girard whom I didn't already know.
