ANTH 3126
Anthropology of Vampires, Ghosts, and Witchcraft
Explores the political, economic, historical, social, and cultural dimensions of vampires, ghosts, and elements of witchcraft. Drawing on European, African, Southeast Asian, and other comparative examples, commonalities and differences in occult belief systems are illuminated. Also examines how and why beliefs emerge and change with the forces of modernity, and what occult figures mean in their specific cultural contexts.
