In this volume, Jean La Fontaine explores the intersection of expert and lay understandings of evil and the cultural forms that evil assumes. The chapters touch on public scares about devil-worship, misconceptions about human sacrifice and the use of body parts in healing practices, and mistaken accusations of children practicing witchcraft. Together, these cases demonstrate that comparison is a powerful method of cultural understanding, but warns of the dangers and mistaken conclusions that untrained ideas about other ways of life can lead to. -- Provided by publisher. 505 00 $a Machine generated contents note: $g ch. 8 $t London's Witch Children. $g ch. 2 $t Concepts of Evil, Witchcraft and the Sexual Abuse of Children in Modern England -- $g ch. 3 $t Ritual Murder? -- $g ch. 4 $t Magic and Medicine: The Torso in the Thames -- $g ch. 5 $t Child Witches in London: Tradition and Change in Religious Belief -- $g ch. 6 $t Evil and Children: The Morality of Childhood -- $g ch. 7 $t Pastors and Witches -- $g ch. 8 $t London's Witch Children. 650 0 $a Witchcraft. 650 0 $a Good and evil. 650 0 $a Demonology. 650 2 $a Witchcraft 650 6 $a Sorcellerie. 650 6 $a DeÌmonologie. 650 7 $a witchcraft. $2 aat 650 7 $a 73.58 magic (ethnology) $0 (NL-LeOCL)077610733 $2 bcl 650 7 $a Demonology. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00890199 650 7 $a Good and evil. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00944894 650 7 $a Witchcraft. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01176327 650 7 $a Das BoÌse $2 gnd 650 7 $a Ethnologie $2 gnd 650 7 $a Kulturvergleich $2 gnd 650 7 $a Magie $2 gnd 830 0 $a Studies in public and applied anthropology ; $v v. 10. 941 $a 1 952 $l PLAX964 $d 20240724073313.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=CB904BDC214711EEBC7340321FECA4DB 994 $a 92 $b IOHInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
