Abstract:
Abstract This paper provides a qualitative historical (socio)pragmatic analysis of records of three eighteenth-century Hungarian witchcraft trials using a socio-cognitive model of discursive community and identity construction. I aim to describe how the general social and legal context of witchcraft became situated and interpreted in the actual witchcraft trial records from the delegated officials’ perspective. I argue that in the analysed records, the officials did not simply apply a codified definition of “witchcraft”, but they discursively (re)constructed “witchcraft” as a community and “witch” as the defendants’ identity. Thus, from the officials’ perspective, discursive community and identity construction established a relationship between the general context of witchcraft and the actual witchcraft trials. In order to reconstruct this process, I investigate the linguistic constructs by which the delegated officials actively created “witchcraft” and the defendants’ “witch” identity as mental constructs.

Abstract:
AbstractWhile Pentecostal churches derive their growing popularity in large part from their ability to combat witchcraft in society, I argue here that Pentecostalism is itself an alternative form of witchcraft discourse. As such, it falls prey to the same ambivalent relationship between power, success and social obligation that witchdoctors and politicians must face. I discuss Pentecostalism and witchcraft in terms of their relationship to neoliberal understandings of individual agency and economy in contrast to the moral economy of social obligations. At the same time I draw parallels between the ritual techniques of Pentecostalism and witchcraft cosmology, demonstrating that, despite Pentecostal churches' efforts to transcend the power of witchcraft, they in many cases become encompassed by witchcraft discourse, often taking on the appearance of witchcraft itself.

Abstract:
Representing the cultural phenomenon of witchcraft and showcasing liminal existence was of great importance in the literature of 16-17 -century England. From political pamphlets to Shakespearean stage plays, the character of the witch and the marginalized have become a central topic of conversation in early modern texts. The primary goal of this research paper is to examine how Neil Gaiman’s comic book series, Marvel 1602 adapts aspects of certain early modern English works to create a graphic narrative that explains liminality and the modern ‘witchcraze.’

Abstract:
The witchcraft incident in Bima Regency has threatened the safety and security of human life, witchcraft has triggered people to take vigilante actions (Eigenrichting) as a counter reaction by means of destruction, persecution and even murder. This study aims to determine public perceptions related to witchcraft, and also to find out why witchcraft always results in mass vigilante action (Eigenrichting) so that prevention and resolution efforts can be formulated. This study uses empirical or sociological research, data collection is carried out by direct and structured interviews and through literature study, while drawing conclusions using inductive methods. The results showed, first; In the period 2016-2021, there were 53 cases of alleged witchcraft practices in Bima Regency, damaging the social order and disrupting community stability. The community considers witchcraft as a dangerous or evil act, because the motive and purpose of using witchcraft is to torture, and/or kill human souls; Second; The behavior of witchcraft has led to vigilante actions (Eigenrichting) in some people, this is due to the existence of a legal vacuum that has not regulated the act of witchcraft and how to solve it legally. The act of vigilantism (Eigenrichting) appears as a form of reaction that arises from the community due to their rights and comfort being disturbed, which action is manifested in the form of violence as an act of revenge against the perpetrators of witchcraft. The juridical conclusion that the terminology of witchcraft and vigilante acts (Eigenrichting) have not been specifically regulated in the current laws and regulations as prohibited acts and are threatened with punishment. As a suggestion that the terminology and elements of the criminal act of witchcraft in the current Criminal Code Bill need to be expanded further, as well as the system of proving the crime of witchcraft in the Indonesian criminal procedure law needs to obtain further, more complete arrangements.

Abstract:
The present contribution to the phenomenology of witchcraft will depend for its data on the traditional conceptions, rites, and folklore of witchcraft among the Inuit (Eskimo) of Čanada and Greenland. A phenomenological definition of witchcraft may be obtained through recognition of its position within Inuit religion. Like many native North Americans, the Inuit epitomized their religion in the concept of balance. The Polar Inuit understood religion to have the function "to keep a right balance between mankind and the rest of the world". Without exception, the rites of Inuit witchcraft were rites of Inuit religion that were made unnatural, through the alteration of one or more features. Because counterclockwise ritual motions were specific to witchcraft, the expression "contrary to nature" may be understood to epitomize the Inuit's own appreciation of witchcraft. Whether witchcraft depended on deliberate violations of traditional observances, on malicious uses of magic formulae and songs, and/or on ritual motions, witchcraft proceeded "contrary to nature". Thus, witchcraft can be defined as special practices, which together with the beliefs and folklore surrounding them, are believed to be innately disruptive of the balance between mankind and the numina. Because it is contrary to nature, witchcraft is innately anti-social. The disruption of the balance of mankind with the numina is not the private act of the witch against a victim, but a danger for the entire community.

Abstract:
This article is the result of research findings undertaken in Limpopo Province on the subject of witchcraft beliefs. It is a narration of two villages whose residents were accused of witchcraft and had to be moved to other villages for their safety. Socio-economic conditions responsible for the communities to accuse their members of witchcraft are analysed. In the last part of the paper I draw on some classical theoretical approaches such as projection, scapegoating and materialism theories. In conclusion three statements are considered: 1) witchcraft is something real in human experience; 2) witchcraft is an imaginary crime; 3) an explanation of witchcraft accusations seen through the lens of social theories on society.

Abstract:
ABSTRACT THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN WITCHCRAFT AND FEMININITY:WITCHCRAFT AS A SEX SPECIFIC CRIME WITCHCRAFT IN EARLY MODERN ENGLISH DRAMA Yilmaz, Turkan M.A., Department of Literature Supervisor: Prof. Dr. Laura TOSI February, 2015 The present thesis is an attempt to understand the close relationship between femininity and witchcraft in early modern English society, and to analyze the religious, sociohistorical, and cultural reasons for that association. Then, I aim to present how witchcraft material is approached by the contemporary English dramatists. With this aim, the first chapter consists of four subchapters each of which includes the explanation of four different reasons for the strong association of witchcraft with femininity. The second chapter includes comparative analysis of three plays; namely The Witch by Thomas Middleton, The Witch of Edmonton by William Rowley, Thomas Dekker and John Ford, and Macbeth by William Shakespeare. Accordingly, how witchcraft theme is interpreted and incorporated in the corpora of those plays and the function of witch scenes constitute the main concern of the second chapter. Through analyzing the possible reasons for the clear link between femininity and witchcraft, and discussing the interpretation of witchcraft theme in the plays from early modern English drama, this research highlights how witchcraft and witch-beliefs serve as a material for playwrights to criticize idealization of femininity.

Abstract:
One area of history that historians have ignored is that of children and their relationship to witchcraft and the witch trials. This thesis begins with a survey of historical done on the general theme of childhood, and moves on to review secondary literature about children and the continental witch trials. The thesis also reviews demonological theory relating to children and the roles children played in the minds of continental and English demonologists. Children played various roles: murder victims, victims of dedication to Satan, child-witches, witnesses for the prosecution, victims of bewitchment or possession, and victims of seduction into witchcraft. The final section of the thesis deals with children and English witchcraft. In England children tended to play the same roles as described by the demonologists.

Abstract:
This thesis shows the evolution of educated belief in witchcraft in England from 1650, at the end of the last decade of largescale prosecution, to 1735/6, when the Jacobean witchcraft legislation was repealed. It looks at this belief as a body of ideas more or less susceptible to serious use, rather than as the property of a social group, something measurable in statistical terms. There are three overlapping areas: 1. The early chapters show how witchcraft theory had an ideological import in the years 1650-1670. For Sir Robert Filmer, witchcraft prosecution was tainted by its association with puritan politics and theology. Hobbes viewed the metaphysical underpinnings of the theory with disdain, but felt it necessary to preserve witchcraft as crime within his system. For Meric Casaubon, witchcraft theory was an ideal embodiment of the restoration of traditional belief, and a boundary condition of a religiously defined community. The third chapter shows how witchcraft belief could colour mutual perceptions of Anglo- Scottish relations. 2. Having been a useful symbol of a broadly-based, religious, but non-factional society for the Harleyite Daniel Defoe in the crisis of 1710-11, witchcraft was coopted into the party struggle during the notorious Wenham case. Subsequently, witchcraft theory was a dangerous subject for a regime which, as Walpole's did, sought to disentangle the religious and secular threads which the witchcraft issue bound together. 3. Witchcraft, factionalized, became for Defoe a satirical symbol of party rule. Elsewhere it emerged, verbally and visually, whenever ferment about Church-State relations bubbled once more to the surface. These issues are examined in chapters on the last great witchcraft debate, images of witchcraft, and on repeal of English, Scottish, and Irish witchcraft legislation. The central conclusions are chronological and causal. Witchcraft theory continued to count well into the eighteenth century; and its demise had very specific political and ideological occasions.

Abstract:
Malnutrition and neuro-disability are major public health problems in Africa. There is limited autism spectrum disorder (ASD) research in Kenya and families lack support aetiology is linked to witchcraft and sorcery. Research indicates an increase in ASD prevalence globally and in Africa. In Kenya, 2.2% (0.9 million people) live with some form of disability. Children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) suffer from neuro disabilities eliciting: altered sensory processing, restricted interests, and behavioural rigidity, allergies and aversions. Autism spectrum disorders have no cure, management is by use of interventions targeting autistic symptoms such as gastrointestinal disturbances, problem feeding behavior, linguistic development, non-verbal cognitive development, and motor development. The overall objective of this review was: to identify dietary and nutritional interventions available for the management of ASD symptoms in children and adolescents – Kenya. The study employed systematic review as the study design. The study included articles from Cochrane Library, PubMed, PMC, Google scholar, and Free Full databases. These were searched to identify studies published between September 2011 and September 2021. Eighteen articles were included: 12 randomized case-control trials, 3 open-label trials, one 2×2 factorial study, and 2 cross-over trials. The following dietary and nutritional interventions were evaluated: gluten and casein-free diet; ketogenic diets; probiotic supplements; specific carbohydrate diets; polyunsaturated fatty acids; vitamin and mineral supplantation (A, B6, B12, D, magnesium, folic acid); and alternative diets. Results from study indicate that vitamin and mineral supplementation was the most used intervention in management of ASD symptoms. This review established that there are limited or no studies on dietary and nutritional interventions in Kenya. Authors reported improvements in ASD symptoms in individuals receiving dietary and nutritional interventions such vitamin and mineral supplementation. The study findings will help policymakers and implementers to understand the consistency and precision and impact of these interventions. This will improve the safety and efficacy of interventions positively impacting the health and nutrition outcomes of children and adolescents with ASD. More research targeting ASD dietary and Nutritional Interventions is required in Kenya and other resource constrained settings. Keywords: autism spectrum disorder, nutritional intervention, diet therapy, child, adolescent, Kenya.
