Legends and folklore allow us to explore the brutal bestiality of a figure loaded with sexuality, eroticism, and desire. From ancient times to the present day, the tragic narrative universe of a strange and dangerous wild world is unfolded, with elements of tenderness, that has contributed to defining the profile of civilization as its opposite. The myth was contaminated with religious fanaticism when werewolves were persecuted and burned during the times of the witch hunts. Roger Bartra is a Mexican and Catalan anthropologist and sociologist. He works as a research fellow at the University of Mexico (UNAM). 0aCivilizationxHistory.966788 0aPopular Culture.957605 0aIntellectual lifexHistory.970673 0aAnthropology.96000214aCultural History.96679024aPopular Culture.95760524aIntellectual History.97067524aAnthropology.9600022 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer Nature eBook08iPrinted edition:z978303174942108iPrinted edition:z978303174944508iPrinted edition:z9783031749452 0aPalgrave Historical Studies in Witchcraft and Magic,x2731-564998826040uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-74943-8  aZDB-2-HTY  aZDB-2-SXH  c65997d65997
