4e de couv.: La sorcellerie a pris dans l'Afrique contemporaine des formes inédites: enfants sorciers, crimes rituels, vols de sexe, possessions diaboliques. Elle ne renvoie plus à un système organisé de croyances et de pratiques mais plutôt à des imaginaires polymorphes suscités par l'insécurité et l'injustice vécues au quotidien. Les faits de violence associés aux affaires de sorcellerie témoignent d'une profonde dérégulation normative et exigent des enquêtes situées qui interrogent les chaînes du soupçon et de l'accusation. Cet ouvrage fait le choix d'une approche ethnographique et comparative des diagnostics sanitaires ou religieux et des qualifications judiciaires de la sorcellerie. Les chercheurs sont interpellés comme les juges et les médecins par les processus de pénalisation, sinon de politisation des affaires de sorcellerie. Comment, dans un tel contexte, entrer et se faire accepter en tant que chercheur dans les tribunaux, les églises, les familles, les entreprises? Comment éviter les biais liés à une entrée par le point de vue des victimes? Comment travailler sur des affaires qualifiées par les médias de "crimes rituels"? Les affaires, les rumeurs, les procès appellent à penser par cas, en interrogeant les stratégies d'acteurs et le positionnement des institutions face à la sorcellerie.

Superstitions are commonplace in the modern world. Mostly, however, they evoke innocuous images of people reading their horoscopes or avoiding black cats. Certain religious practices might also come to mind-praying to St. Christopher or lighting candles for the dead. Benign as they might seem today, such practices were not always perceived that way. In medieval Europe superstitions were considered serious offenses, violations of essential precepts of Christian doctrine or immutable natural laws. But how and why did this come to be? In Fearful Spirits, Reasoned Follies, Michael D. Bailey explores the thorny concept of superstition as it was understood and debated in the Middle Ages.Bailey begins by tracing Christian thinking about superstition from the patristic period through the early and high Middle Ages. He then turns to the later Middle Ages, a period that witnessed an outpouring of writings devoted to superstition-tracts and treatises with titles such as De superstitionibus and Contra vitia superstitionum. Most were written by theologians and other academics based in Europe's universities and courts, men who were increasingly anxious about the proliferation of suspect beliefs and practices, from elite ritual magic to common healing charms, from astrological divination to the observance of signs and omens. As Bailey shows, however, authorities were far more sophisticated in their reasoning than one might suspect, using accusations of superstition in a calculated way to control the boundaries of legitimate religion and acceptable science. This in turn would lay the conceptual groundwork for future discussions of religion, science, and magic in the early modern world. Indeed, by revealing the extent to which early modern thinkers took up old questions about the operation of natural properties and forces using the vocabulary of science rather than of belief, Bailey exposes the powerful but in many ways false dichotomy between the "superstitious" Middle Ages and "rational" European modernity.
