She’s a Witch! A Seminar on the Witch in History and on Film

In this seminar, we’ll explore the figure of the witch in cinema, from 1922’s HÄXAN to 2015’s THE WITCH and beyond. We’ll look at the earliest filmic depictions of the witch — in particular, films that explore the early modern witch and witch-hunt. We’ll think about legacies of the witch, changing depictions of the witch, and divergent ways both the witch and the "hunt" take on meaning.
