Here is an interview with Rene Girard.  The interview itself is not fantastic, but perhaps it might turn some people on to Girard.  I think he is among the most profound of living thinkers, and would highly recommend his work (he has been extremely influential in literary criticism, particularly his insight on the mimetic quality of desire).  I have written a few papers on Girard, if there is interest I could present one sometime to the Philosophy Club.
