Book Synopsis Languages of Witchcraft by : Stuart Clark

Download or read book Languages of Witchcraft written by Stuart Clark and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2017-07-19 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Different conceptions of the world and of reality have made witchcraft possible in some societies and impossible in others. How did the people of early modern Europe experience it and what was its place in their culture? The new essays in this collection illustrate the latest trends in witchcraft research and in cultural history in general. After three decades in which the social analysis of witchcraft accusations has dominated the subject, they turn instead to its significance and meaning as a cultural phenomenon - to the 'languages' of witchcraft, rather than its causes. As a result, witchcraft seems less startling than it once was, yet more revealing of the world in which it occurred.
