The Witch, the Saint, the Enchanted, and the Illusory in the Golden Age

On 27 February, the ISOR research group of the UAB Department of Sociology organises a seminar entitled "The Witch, the Saint, the Enlightened, and the Illusory Woman. Women, Potential, and Power through the Judicial Prism in the Golden Age," presented by Anny Canovas, lecturer at Sciences Po Toulouse. The session will take place at 2:00 p.m. in the meeting hall of the Faculty of Political Science and Sociology.

The seminar will examine how the courts constructed certain forms of female power and authority through a judicial prism. The presentation will offer a reflection on the relationship between gender, spirituality, and power, and on the mechanisms of control and legitimisation that affected women in the modern era.
