The Routledge History of Witchcraft is a comprehensive and
interdisciplinary study of the belief in witches from antiquity to
the present day, providing both an introduction to the subject of
witchcraft and an overview of the on-going debates. This extensive
collection covers the entire breadth of the history of witchcraft,
from the witches of Ancient Greece and medieval demonology through
to the victims of the witch hunts, and onwards to children's books,
horror films, and modern pagans. Drawing on the knowledge and
expertise of an international team of authors, the book examines
differing concepts of witchcraft that still exist in society and
explains their historical, literary, religious, and anthropological
origin and development, including the reflections and adaptions of
this belief in art and popular culture. The volume is divided into
four chronological parts, beginning with Antiquity and the Middle
Ages in Part One, Early Modern witch hunts in Part Two, modern
concepts of witchcraft in Part Three, and ending with an
examination of witchcraft and the arts in Part Four. Each chapter
offers a glimpse of a different version of the witch, introducing
the reader to the diversity of witches that have existed in
different contexts throughout history. Exploring a wealth of texts
and case studies and offering a broad geographical scope for
examining this fascinating subject, The Routledge History of
Witchcraft is essential reading for students and academics
interested in the history of witchcraft.

In bildungspolitischen Diskussionen melden sich aktuell immer mehr
Vertreter*innen politisch ambitionierter Padagogiken zu Wort, die
die padagogische Nutzung ganz unterschiedlicher Kulturprodukte
kritisieren, indem sie diese als Ausdruck von Rassismus, Sexismus,
Kolonialismus oder Klassismus deuten. Bei solchen politisch und
padagogisch umkampften Kulturprodukten handelt es sich
beispielsweise um Kinderspielzeug, Dreadlocks oder
Schokoladenverpackungen, um Kunstwerke, Fernsehserien, Gedichte und
um Bucher. In dem Band werden diese engagierte Padagogiken, die
padagogische und politische Vorgaben fur den angemessenen und
richtigen Umgang mit Kulturprodukten machen, anhand von Beispielen
- vom Kinderbuch 'Jim Knopf bis hin zu 'Gonzo' aus der Muppetshow -
aus der gebotenen Distanz analysiert und auf den Prufstand
gestellt.
