In this second installment of the \u003ci\u003eHomo Mimeticus \u003c\/i\u003eseries, international scholars working in philosophy, literary theory, classics, cultural studies, sociology, political theory, and the neurosciences engage creatively with the theory developed by Nidesh Lawtoo in \u003ci\u003eHomo Mimeticus: A New Theory of Imitation\u003c\/i\u003e to further the transdisciplinary field of mimetic studies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAgonistic critical engagements with precursors like Plato, Aristotle, Nietzsche, Bataille, Irigaray and Girard, involving contributions by leading experts of imitation such as Mikkel Borch-Jacobsen, William E. Connolly, Henry Staten and Vittorio Gallese among many others, reveal the urgency to rethink mimesis beyond realism. From imitation to identification, mimicry to affective contagion, techne to simulation, mirror neurons to biomimicry, \u003ci\u003eHomo Mimeticus\u003c\/i\u003e casts a shadow--but also a light--on the present and future, from social media to the Anthropocene.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eContributing authors: Nidesh Lawtoo (Leiden University), Marina García-Granero (University of Valencia), Mikkel Borch-Jacobsen (University of Washington), Henry Staten (University of Washington), Carlos Carvalhar (Universidade Federal da Bahia), Teresa Casas Hernández (Universidad Carlos III de Madrid), Mark Pizzato (University of North Carolina at Charlotte), Kieran Keohane (University College Cork), Carmen Kuhling (University of Limerick), William Johnsen (Michigan State University), Niki Hadikoesoemo (University of Amsterdam), María del Carmen Molina Barea (University of Córdoba), Carmen Bonasera (University of Turin), Evelyne Ender (Johns Hopkins University), Henry Dicks (University Jean Moulin Lyon 3), William E.
