FYS 110 Hocus Pocus
Few figures in global cultures are as ubiquitous, and complicated, as “the witch.” Though entwined with mythology from the start, the existence of and reaction to witches have had real consequences in communities around the world. We will consider how the representation of witches has changed, with attention to how these representations intersect with ideas about gender, race, and class. In doing so, we will investigate how “the witch” itself has been reshaped.
