Who was the witch? The idea of the satanic witch, in particular, was born in fifteenth-century Europe and was grimly instrumental in the witch-hunts that followed in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. The figure of the witch contained within it fears of unruly gender, aberrant theological belief, and defiance of lawful authority. But the idea of witch didnt stop when trials ceased; in both fairy tales and horror, the early modern witch lives on. In this seminar, we will discuss both early modern historical sources and modern films that depict witches and witch-hunts. We will ask what it means that historical fears are now our fictional entertainment, and we will examine what has changed in depictions of the witch. Screenings of films, including horror films, will be required for this course. For first-year students only; upper division students may enroll with permission from the professor.
