Victima vs Sacrificium. Ambivalence of the Victim from the Perspective of the Innsbruck Dramatic Theology

Summary/Abstract: In contemporary discussions on cultural, political, religious and theological issues, aimportant place is occupied not only by the victim, but the ambivalence that is assoated with it. Victims often become offenders. They refer to the fact of being a victim, that justifies this type of behavior. It seems that there is no way of „diabolical circoffender‑victim‑offender. The Dramatic Theology which was developed in Innsbrucgives an opportunity to find a way out of this circle. It uses the results of René Girarmimetic theory. It is important to distinguish between the mythical logic of pagaism, in which the process of sacralization takes place, and the biblical tradition whiccondemns this logic. Christ preaches the Gospel (Good News) of his Father who is entirely free of violence. As a result he himself becomes an object of people’s aggressioWithout compulsion he responds with no violence and in this way he transforms tdestructive forces of sacral violence in loving devotion to the Father.
