Stratton investigates the cultural and ideological motivations behind early imaginings of the magician, the sorceress, and the witch in the ancient world. Accusations of magic could carry the death penalty or, at the very least, marginalize the person or group they targeted. But Stratton moves beyond the popular view of these accusations as mere slander. In her view, representations and accusations of sorcery mirror the complex struggle of ancient societies to define authority, legitimacy, and Otherness.Stratton argues that the concept "magic" first emerged as a discourse in ancient Athens where it operated part and parcel of the struggle to define Greek identity in opposition to the uncivilized "barbarian" following the Persian Wars. The idea of magic then spread throughout the Hellenized world and Rome, reflecting and adapting to political forces, values, and social concerns in each society. Stratton considers the portrayal of witches and magicians in the literature of four related periods and cultures: classical Athens, early imperial Rome, pre-Constantine Christianity, and rabbinic Judaism. She compares patterns in their representations of magic and analyzes the relationship between these stereotypes and the social factors that shaped them.Stratton's comparative approach illuminates the degree to which magic was (and still is) a cultural construct that depended upon and reflected particular social contexts. Unlike most previous studies of magic, which treated the classical world separately from antique Judaism, Naming the Witch highlights the degree to which these ancient cultures shared ideas about power and legitimate authority, even while constructing and deploying those ideas in different ways. The book also interrogates the common association of women with magic, denaturalizing the gendered stereotype in the process. Drawing on Michel Foucault's notion of discourse as well as the work of other contemporary theorists, such as Homi K. Bhabha and Bruce Lincoln, Stratton's bewitching study presents a more nuanced, ideologically sensitive approach to understanding the witch in Western history. 410 0$aGender, theory, and religion. 606 $aMagic, Ancient 606 $aMagic, Roman 606 $aMagic, Greek 606 $aJewish magic 606 $aStereotypes (Social psychology) 615 0$aMagic, Ancient. 615 0$aMagic, Roman. 615 0$aMagic, Greek. 615 0$aJewish magic. 615 0$aStereotypes (Social psychology) 676 $a133.4/3093 686 $aNH 5285$2rvk 700 $aStratton$b Kimberly B.$01509707 702 $aDang$b Vin 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910777926303321 996 $aNaming the witch$93741800 997 $aUNINA LEADER 01060nam0 22002891i 450 001 UON00300757 005 20231205104003.156 010 $a07-15-61361-8 100 $a20070917d1980 |0itac50 ba 101 $aeng 102 $aGB 105 $a|||| 1|||| 200 1 $aEcstasy and the praise of folly$fM.A. Screech 210 $aLondon$cDuckworth$d1980 215 $axxiv, 267 p.$d24 cm. 606 $aERASMO DA ROTTERDAM$3UONC050345$2FI 606 $aPazzia nella letteratura$3UONC047372$2FI 620 $aGB$dLondon$3UONL003044 676 $a362.2$cMalattie e disturbi mentali ed emotivi$v21 700 1$aSCREECH$bM.A.$3UONV168834$0695677 712 $aDuckworth$3UONV246037$4650 801 $aIT$bSOL$c20250627$gRICA 899 $aSIBA - SISTEMA BIBLIOTECARIO DI ATENEO$2UONSI 912 $aUON00300757 950 $aSIBA - SISTEMA BIBLIOTECARIO DI ATENEO$dSI Angl II C 689 $eSI LO 20362 5 689 996 $aEcstasy and the praise of folly$91380844 997 $aUNIOR
