LGBT 181E - Witchcraft and the Occult
Course explores the cultural role of witchcraft, paying attention to its paradoxical role as, on one hand, a dangerous accusation in some cultures and historical periods; and on the other hand, as a form of self-identification as in contemporary Wicca. We will also explore the history of the occult in the West as a key site for experiments with gender and sexual nonconformity, before focusing in more depth on contemporary manifestations of witchcraft in America.
