【摘要】： 16、17世纪,世界进入了社会转型时期,而此时的马萨诸塞殖民地也正处在由混乱到稳定发展的阶段。这一时期当地的巫术案屡有发生,并在90年代这种恐慌达到顶峰,其典型事件便是1692年发生的萨勒姆事件,其后巫术案便逐渐消亡。关于巫术案件的研究,有很多历史学家进行了扎实的研究,但对于马萨诸塞地区巫术案件的研究却很少有人关注。有一些著作关注的是某一个方面问题的研究,比如说关于性别、种族等情况在巫术案件中的反映,但并没有对马萨诸塞地区的巫术案做一个整体概述。我通过对当地的巫术案件分析后可知,巫师这一特殊群体在其他人眼中除了有超自然操纵者或异端的含义外,更多地表达为品行不好的人。本文的结构框架主要可以分为六章,首先导论是对这一时期的猎巫运动进行概述,主要讨论从近代到现在巫术案件理论研究的状况;第一章是主要描述17世纪马萨诸塞地区发生的巫术案件的情况:第二章到第四章阐诉该地区巫术案件发生、审判的情况以及涉及人员的社会身份和巫术案的特征类型,通过分析这些问题来了解巫师在当地的社会地位和因巫术身份的影响所受到的待遇;第五章是对马萨诸塞巫术案件的社会环境进行阐诉,力求对所发生的巫术案件进行解释,这可以分为这些方面:第一、宗教的影响:第二、移民身份对他们的影响,从旧大陆迁移到这里的移民,不可避免地受到欧洲大陆政治、经济制度的影响,给新的殖民地打上旧的烙印,第三、外部环境与当地经济对他们的影响,经济的快速发展撕破了这种最初设想的宗教秩序,造成了当地居民之间大量的经济纠纷。
[Abstract]:In the 1600s, the world entered a period of social transformation, and the Massachusetts colony was in a stage of development from chaos to stability. In this period, the local witchcraft cases occurred frequently, and the panic reached its peak in the 1990s, its typical event was the Salem incident in 1692, and then the witchcraft case gradually died out. Many historians have done solid research on witchcraft, but little attention has been paid to the case of witchcraft in Massachusetts. Some of the books focus on the study of one aspect of a problem, such as gender, race, and so on, in the case of witchcraft, but it does not provide an overall overview of the witchcraft in the Massachusetts area. Through the analysis of local witchcraft cases, I can see that this special group of witches is more of a bad character than the supernatural manipulators or heresy in other people's eyes. The structure of this paper can be divided into six chapters. First, the introduction is an overview of the witchhunt movement in this period, mainly discusses the theory of witchcraft cases from modern times to the present. The first chapter mainly describes the situation of witchcraft cases in the Massachusetts area in the 17th century. Chapters two to four describe the occurrence of witchcraft cases in the region, the situation of the trials, the social identity of the persons involved and the characteristic types of witchcraft cases. Through the analysis of these problems to understand the social status of witches in the local and because of the influence of witchcraft identity to be treated; The fifth chapter is to explain the social environment of the witchcraft case in Massachusetts, which can be divided into these aspects: first, the influence of religion; second, the influence of immigration status on them. The immigrants who migrated from the Old World were inevitably influenced by the political and economic systems of the European continent, which branded the new colonies as old. Third, the effects of the external environment and the local economy on them. The rapid growth of the economy tore apart the original religious order and caused a great deal of economic disputes among the local population.
