Download or read book Witchcraft in Early Modern Europe written by Jonathan Barry and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1998-03-12 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This important collection brings together both established figures and new researchers to offer fresh perspectives on the ever-controversial subject of the history of witchcraft. Using Keith Thomas's Religion and the Decline of Magic as a starting point, the contributors explore the changes of the last twenty-five years in the understanding of early modern witchcraft, and suggest new approaches, especially concerning the cultural dimensions of the subject. Witchcraft cases must be understood as power struggles, over gender and ideology as well as social relationships, with a crucial role played by alternative representations. Witchcraft was always a contested idea, never fully established in early modern culture but much harder to dislodge than has usually been assumed. The essays are European in scope, with examples from Germany, France, and the Spanish expansion into the New World, as well as a strong core of English material.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Inspired by recent efforts to understand the dynamics of the early modern witch hunt, Johannes Dillinger has produced a powerful synthesis based on careful comparisons. Narrowing his focus to two specific regions—Swabian Austria and the Electorate of Trier—he provides a nuanced explanation of how the tensions between state power and communalism determined the course of witch hunts that claimed over 1,300 lives in sixteenth- and seventeenth-century Germany. Dillinger finds that, far from representing the centralizing aggression of emerging early states against local cultures, witch hunts were almost always driven by members of the middling and lower classes in cities and villages, and they were stopped only when early modern states acquired the power to control their localities. Situating his study in the context of a pervasive magical worldview that embraced both orthodox Christianity and folk belief, Dillinger shows that, in some cases, witch trials themselves were used as magical instruments, designed to avert threats of impending divine wrath. "Evil People" describes a two-century evolution in which witch hunters who liberally bestowed the label "evil people" on others turned into modern images of evil themselves. In the original German, "Evil People" won the Friedrich Spee Award as an outstanding contribution to the history of witchcraft.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To many Westerners, the disappearance of African traditions of witchcraft might seem inevitable wuth continued modernization. In The Modernity of Witchcraft, Peter Geschieres uses his own experiences among the Maka and in other parts of eastern and southern Cameroon, as well as other anthropological research, to argue that contemporary ideas and practices of witchcraft are more a response to modern exigencies than a lingering cultural custom. The prevalence of witchcraft, especially in African politics and entrepreneurship, demonstrates the unlikely balance it has achieved with the forces of modernity. Geshiere explores why modern techniques and commodities, usually of Western Provenance, have become central in rumors of the occult.

Download or read book The History of Everyday Life written by Alf Ludtke and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2018-11-20 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Alltagsgeschichte, or the history of everyday life, emerged during the 1980s as the most interesting new field among West German historians and, more recently, their East German colleagues. Partly in reaction to the modernization theory pervading West German social history in the 1970s, practitioners of alltagsgeschichte stressed the complexities of popular experience, paying particular attention, for instance, to the relationship of the German working class to Nazism. Now the first English translation of a key volume of essays (Alltagsgeschichte: Zur Rekonstruktion historischer Erfahrungen und Lebensweisen) presents this approach and shows how it cuts across the boundaries of established disciplines. The result is a work of great methodological, theoretical, and historiographical significance as well as a substantive contribution to German studies. Introduced by Alf Lüdtke, the volume includes two empirical essays, one by Lutz Niethammer on life courses of East Germans after 1945 and one by Lüdtke on modes of accepting fascism among German workers. The remaining five essays are theoretical: Hans Medick writes on ethnological ways of knowledge as a challenge to social history; Peter Schöttler, on mentalities, ideologies, and discourses and alltagsgeschichte; Dorothee Wierling, on gender relations and alltagsgeschichte; Wolfgang Kaschuba, on popular culture and workers' culture as symbolic orders; and Harald Dehne on the challenge alltagsgeschichte posed for Marxist-Leninist historiography in East Germany.

Download or read book Hexenverfolgungen in der Frühen Neuzeit und ihre Ursachen. Über den Hexenhammer, die Hexenprozesse von Salem und die Verurteilung von Jeanne d'Arc written by Katharina Müller and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2024-01-25 with total page 69 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sammelband aus dem Jahr 2024 im Fachbereich Geschichte Europas - Mittelalter, Frühe Neuzeit, , Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Dieser Sammelband enthält vier Hausarbeiten. In der Forschung wird häufig der Hexenhammer als Ursache für den Hexenwahn angeführt - auch für die Wende zum Weiblichen hin ist er bekannt. Aufgrund dessen stellt der Hexenhammer einen äußerst interessanten Untersuchungsgegenstand dar und die Fragestellung der ersten Hausarbeit wird sich eben danach ausrichten: Worin liegen die Wurzeln für den erheblichen Einfluss und Erfolg des Hexenhammers? Dabei liegt auch ein Augenmerk darauf, ob der Hexenhammer als Hauptursache oder Teilursache für den Hexenwahn zu sehen ist. Das Wort "Salem" ist noch heute ein Synonym für Hexenverfolgung, Massenhysterie, Hinrichtungen unschuldiger Menschen und Wahnsinn. Lange nachdem die Hexenverfolgungen in Europa ein Ende nahmen, kam es in Salem, Massachusetts im Jahre 1692 zu einem außergewöhnlichen Ereignis: Zwischen Januar und November wurden als Resultat unzähliger Anschuldigungen und Prozesse 144 Personen der Hexerei beschuldigt und 20 öffentlich hingerichtet. Noch immer stellt es somit ein einzigartiges Ereignis in der Kolonialgeschichte Nordamerikas dar, fasziniert die Menschen und wirft Fragen nach Gründen auf. Wie kam es 1692 in Salem zu dieser Massenhysterie und irrationalen Beschuldigung unzähliger unschuldiger Menschen, insbesondere Frauen? Historiker haben seit jeher unterschiedlichste mehr oder weniger stichhaltige Thesen aufgestellt, welche von einem Versagen des Gouverneurs über die Panik wegen ständiger Angst vor Indianerangriffen bis zu Halluzinationen der Ankläger aufgrund einer Vergiftung durch Mutterkorn reichen. Die zweite Hausarbeit befasst sich mit diesen Theorien. Hexenverfolgungen und -prozesse fanden vorrangig in der Frühen Neuzeit statt. Exemplarisch für diese Zeit soll in der dritten Arbeit das Beispiel der Maria bzw. Dorothea Braun herausgegriffen werden. Anhand dieses Hexenprozesses sollen sowohl die sozialen und wirtschaftlichen Einflüsse dieses Zeitalters auf Hexenverfolgungen gezeigt werden als auch die Wirkung des 'Hexenhammers' auf den Prozess. Der Mythos um Jeanne d'Arc geht, seit sie in Erscheinung trat, um die Welt und beschäftigt sowohl Laien als auch Wissenschaftler. Entgegen dem Forschungstrend, sich mit den Rezeptionsrollen Jeanne d'Arcs zu befassen, soll die vierte Arbeit einen Ansatz bieten, der zeigt, dass der vermeintliche Hexenprozess in Wahrheit ein politisches Instrument war, um sich der unbequemen Jeanne zu entledigen.

This book was released on 2002-10-17 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When this volume first appeared in German it inspired a whole generation of young scholars. Schindler recreates the lives of both the poor and excluded; the milieu of the burghers; and the rumbustuous lifestyles of the Counts von Zimmern. A true archivist, he evokes the lost worlds of sixteenth- and seventeenth-century people. He investigates popular nicknames, snowball fights, carnival rituals, even what people did at night-time before the advent of lighting. A final essay deals with an extraordinary late set of trials for witchcraft, in which over 200 people died. Translated into English for the first time, the volume contains a new Foreword by Natalie Zemon Davis and a new introductory essay setting out the key influences of Schindler's work. Norbert Schindler is the leading exponent of historical anthropology in the German-speaking world. A founding member of the German journal Historische Anthropologie, Schindler teaches at the University of Salzburg.
