RLST152 PO - Ritual and Magic in Children’s LiteratureWhen Offered: Last offered spring 2014.
Instructor(s): O. Eisenstadt
Credit: 1
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.
