Document Summary
Lecture 8: hopi and navaho witchcraft ethnographic approach. Everywhere that they occur, witchcraft beliefs articulate with the social structure. Are not only theoretical in the sense of existing in a separate realm: see this in that what people believe, and how they believe has a lot to do with how they relate to one another. Last lect: about maintaining social solidarity (as seen last lect) in the sense that the figure of the witch is the absolute opposite of everything that is a moral being. Fear of being accused of witchcraft keeps people in their place. Can be maladaptive beliefs in the sense that they leave people in a state of paranoia and terror. 2 native american populations in the us southwest: very torrid, hot climate. Ethnically related, speak a similar language, but their socioeconomic structure is completely different. Evans-pritchard as the writer of the magnum opus of witchcraft studies.
