Razumevanje novoveškega čarovništva skozi perspektivo spola

Marn, Ana (avtor), Škamperle, Igor (mentor), Štuhec, Marko (mentor)

V diplomskem delu je obravnavan nastanek diaboličnega čarovništva kot fenomena, značilnega za zgodnji novi vek v Evropi. S pregledom antičnega in kasnejšega krščanskega izročila sem poskušala prikazati razvoj specifičnega konstrukta ženskosti, ki je tekom stoletja ob kombinaciji specifičnih političnih, gospodarskih, religioznih in družbenih dejavnikov ustvaril tesnobno atmosfero, ki je posebej ogrozila osebe ženskega spola. Vsaka družba ima svojo strukturo ⠒ v obdobjih sprememb se nosilci oblasti trudijo zavarovati svoj standard in norme. Na prehodu v novi vek je spremembe občutilo vse prebivalstvo, stres, ki pa je bil s tem povezan, pa so sproščali tudi v konstruktu čarovnice. Nevarnosti čarovništva se sloji družbe niso zavedali na isti način, so pa žrtev njihovih paničnih obtožnic utrpele ženske. Namen je pokazati, od kod navidezna naravnost asociiranja ženskega spola s čarovniško prakso.

Izvleček

This thesis discusess the formation of diabolical witchcraft as a phenomenon typical for early modern Europe. By reviewing ancient and later Christian tradition I tried to show the development of a specific construct of femininity, which, over the centuries, combined with specific political, economic, religious and social factors created a dark atmosphere of anxiety, threatening especially the female population. Every society has its own structure- in times of change, the authorities try to protect their current norms and standards- in transition into the early modern period the changes were felt by the entire population and the stress, asociated with it was released through the construct of a diabolical, early-modern witch. The understanding of witchraft was different for higher and lower classes of society, but the victims in both cases were predominantly women. My aim was to show the source of seemingly natural connection between the female sex and witchcraft.
