A discourse psychological analysis of the witch as an archetype from a feminist powerperspective (engelsk)
Abstract [en]

The purpose of this study was to identify who the witch is today. The aim was also to investigate how women express their witch identity and how witchcraft is associated with feminism and power. The study aimed to shed light on positioning, identification, discourses and how society shapes the witch through recurring patterns and underlying notions.The study is qualitative with a discourse analytical approach. The study's methodological approach is based on Nigel Edley's discourse psychology where the focus is on language, power, meaning-making and interpretive repertoire. The analytical concepts used to drive the analysis are interpretive repertoires, ideological dilemmas, and subject positions. The analysis material consists of three podcasts, in each podcast there are two people who run the podcast. Since one podcast episode has one guest, seven participants will be in my analysis.The results shows that the witch is whoever she wants to be and can be anyone. Furthermore, the woman's identification as a witch can contribute to being able to feel free and to learn things about yourself and the world. The study also shows that taking back the witch as a concept and archetype means strengthening the woman's power, beyond the man's control.After completing the study, I see that the witch may very well be a tool for resisting oppression, dominance and norms that create a fixed human being. The witch is a way of dreaming, without being part of the patriarchal reality in which everyone is forced to live. Witchcraft can be seen as a loss but also a tribute to female divinity. The witch is ambiguous, cross-border and a rebel against the norms of society. The witch can help create a better society and a better world, where oppression and dominance of power is not a fact. The witch confronts the patriarchy and can, if everyone accepts the witch's independence, be the beginning of the fourth wave's feminism.
