Cíle předmětu
Short course outline: The course covers some basic aspects of an emerging subdiscipline of Religious Studies, called "Pagan studies". The phenomenon of contemporary Paganism will be presented and discussed from basic definitions, history of contemporary Paganism or Neo-Paganism ( Romantic revival, Pagan inspirations in Germany in early XX century, history of wicca and druidism) to present an image of the Pagan diaspora all around the world, including cultural peculiarities (Paganism in USA and Europe: similarities and differences). The emphasis will be put not only on the cultural history but also on the psychosocial aspects of the phenomena, therefore during our classes an image of an ordinary member of these movements will emerge. The course will contain many multimedia sources, like presentations, videos and music. All readings will be provided.
