Čarovništvo – ženska kot nosilka zla : diplomsko delo

Marolt, Liljana (author), Štuhec, Marko (mentor)

V svoji diplomski nalogi predstavljam pojav čarovništva v 16. in 17. stoletju, in sicer skozi vzroke, ki so vodili v to, da so ženske obtoževali čarovništva in jih smatrali za nosilke zla. Vzroki, ki so evropsko prebivalstvo zgodnjega novega veka spodbudili k ideji, da so v glavnem ženske krive za čarovniška udejstvovanja, so bili očitna spolna manjvrednost žensk v razmerju do moških in nevednost ter z njo povezan strah pred žensko fizionomijo in spolnostjo. Razloga za obtožbe čarovništva sta bila tudi znanje nadzorovanja rojstev ter poznavanje zdravilnih zelišč, ki sta bila skoraj izključno v ženski domeni. Diplomsko nalogo zaključim z opisom sodnega postopka in torturo, kot zanimivost pa predstavim navedbe iz treh demonoloških del: Malleus Maleficarum, Demonolatry in Compendium Maleficarum.

Abstract

In my diploma thesis I shall introduce the witchcraft phenomenon of the sixteenth and seventeenth century by means of introducing the reasons for women being accused of witchcraft and considered bearers of evil. The reasons that made European folk of early modern period believe that it is women who should be blamed for acts of witchcraft were the apparent sexual inferiority of women in their relation to men as well as ignorance and fear of female physiognomy and sexuality that came with it. Another reason for witchcraft accusations were birth control and herbal knowledge which were almost exclusively in female domain. I shall conclude the thesis with a description of court proceedings and torture along with statements from three demonological works which I found particularly interesting: Malleus Malleficarum, Demonolatry and Compendium Maleficarum.
