RLST 152 PO - Ritual and Magic in Children’s Literature
CrsNo RLST152 PO
When Offered: Offered alternate years; last offered spring 2013.
Instructor(s): O. Eisenstadt
Many children’s stories describe a passage from immaturity to individuality and responsibility, and facilitate such a passage in their readers. We study this pattern in various works with a focus on the role of ritual and magic. Our purpose is to arrive at a critical awareness of how the stories work, and to speculate on the residue they leave on our religious sense and hermeneutics. (CWS)
