Abstract:
The third and final issue of this special volume of the journal takes us to the early modern and modern worlds, continuing to underscore the centrality of narrativity to the ontology of sorcery and witchcraft with articles on Early Modern England and Germany by Marion Gibson and Alison Rowlands, and contemporary Cameroon and Israel by Peter Geschiere and Yuval Harari. An Afterword by Ronald Hutton reflects on varied issues raised by contributors.
