Feminist Afterlives of the Witch: Popular Culture, Memory, Activism

In my book, I investigate the use of the witch as a key rhetorical symbol in twentieth- and twenty first-century feminist memory, politics, activism, and popular culture. The witch demonstrates the inheritance of paradoxical pasts, traversing numerous ideological memoryscapes. This talk examines how the witch has been deployed by feminist activists and writers in their political efforts in the twentieth century. It considers how this has indelibly affected cultural memories of the witch and the witch trials, and how this plays out in popular cultural representations of witches through the twentieth- and twenty-first centuries
