RODAS, Hilderman Cardona. Spacegoat, sacrificial exchange, violence and corporality. Sociologia, Problemas e Práticas [online]. 2020, n.92, pp.37-52. ISSN 0873-6529.  https://doi.org/10.7458/SPP20209214668.

This article develops a reflection on the relationship among between cult, celebration, and sacrificial substitution in the foundation of human time-space. For this purpose, the author resorts to D. H. Lawrence´s novel The Plumed Serpent, where a bullfight is depicted. For reading this fragment of the novel, the argument articulating the text has as an finds expository support in René Girad´s concept of the scapegoat, the concept of fetishism developed by Auguste Comte, and Michel Serres´ analysis on the of sacrificial exchange which supports the whole totality of human social practice.

Keywords : scapegoat; sacrifice; violence; the body.
