Mimetic model= every subject or object involved in a mimetic interaction, always the person from whom you are imitating. Mimetic emotion= *contagion, transfer of emotions from someone else (crying bc character on tv show is crying) External mediation= imitation model is non rivalrous, too far from gerard talks about how this is mediated, and comes up with two.
