What moves Parc Ela? As part of the monthly lecture series "Parc Ela en muvimaint", this time the focus is on the latest research results of historian Antonia Bertschinger on witches in Surses.
Between the late Middle Ages and the early modern period, witch hunts took place in Surses – as in many parts of Europe. Women (and also some men) were accused of sorcery, tried, tortured and executed. What today appears to be an almost unimaginable story of injustice was then part of a collective worldview that was strongly influenced by fear, religious zeal and social control.
In her lecture, historian Antonia Bertschinger takes us on a historical search for traces here in Surses and invites us to see local history with new eyes. At the same time, it opens up a critical view of mechanisms of exclusion and violence that continue to have an impact today.
All interested parties are cordially invited. Afterwards, we invite you to exchange ideas and have a small aperitif. To register
