| Итог: | Over the last two decades, witchcraft has been analysed as a component of "African modernity". Yet these discourses on the "modernity" of witchcraft rarely challenge the culturalist distinction established between the Christian God of the civilising mission and the "genius" of paganism. Rather than identifying the discourses on witchcraft and occult powers with an African theodicy, as do many current analyses, the author argues that the powers of both the Christian God and witchcraft share the same magical, occult nature and both participate in the "structures of causality" of evil in the "African modernity" that they symbolize.
