anthology assignment
please write the assignment based on ANTHROPOLOGY OF RELIGION, MAGIC, AND WITCHCRAFT
Vampire, Sorcerers, and Witches
At several points in this course we have discussed the causes of illness and misfortune. Of course illness can be caused by gods and spirits. Here we want to look at human entities with varying degrees of access to supernatural power are thought to bring these about. For purposes of this assignment we will look at vampires, sorcerers, and witches. You have two tasks.
First, define and briefly describe vampires, sorcerers, and witches, as they are being defined in this class. (Do not use Internet resources!!!) There are major inconsistencies and much variability in how these 3 concepts are defined, but here you are to stick to the way they are described in this course.
Second, give an example of how these 3 concepts have been redefined in American popular culture. Show how they often differ from our more technical definitions.
