Question

The occurrence of this phenomenon “in the weave of life” is discussed in a Wittgenstein-influenced book of anthropology about this phenomenon “and the descent into the ordinary.” That book subtitled for this phenomenon, which explores historical instances of it in India, is Veena Das’s Life and Words. A type of this phenomenon that doesn’t involve an actor was theorized in a 1969 paper by Johan Galtung. (10[2])The “monstrous double” (10[1])is a target of this phenomenon according to a 1972 book partly titled for it (-5[1])that attempts to rehabilitate the reputation of Freud’s Totem and Taboo. (10[1])This is the first title concept of a book about the “sacrificial crisis” and the scapegoating mechanism; (10[1])the title of that René (-5[1])Girard (“zhee-RAR”) book (-5[1])pairs this concept with (-5[1])“the sacred.” (-5[2])For 10 points, (10[1]-5[2])institutionalized racism is often considered (-5[1])a “structural” (10[2])form (10[2])of what destructive (10[1]-5[1])phenomenon?
