This 1980 book examines witchcraft beliefs and experiences in the Bocage, a rural area of western France. It also introduced a powerful theoretical attitude towards the progress of the ethnographer's enquiries, suggesting that a full knowledge of witchcraft involves being 'caught up' in it oneself. In the Bocage, being bewitched is to be 'caught' in a sequence of misfortunes. According to those who are bewitched, the culprit is someone in the neighbourhood: the witch, who can cast a spell with a word, a touch or a look, and whose 'power' comes from a book of spells inherited from an ancestor. Only a professional magician, an 'unwitcher', has any chance of breaking the succession of misfortunes which befall those who have been bewitched. He undertakes a battle of magic with the suspected witch, a battle which is eventually fatal.

被巫术诅咒的人类学家；指定为被诅咒者在信与不信之间的挣扎；巫术带来的怀疑和你死我活的互相伤害；以及诅咒者和释咒者的身份模糊，一反普理查德和列维施特劳斯对巫术的社会功能的理解，认为巫术是一种暴力。而对人类学方法论部分的解读堪称经典。（我认为的）缺点是试图将叙事碎片化，结果读起来太太太费劲了。
评分慢吞吞读了好久，方法论的讨论很有意思，写了一篇和genealogy对比来看的作业。田野本身和我在海南的经历和发现有太多相似的地方，简直想重新做回巫术研究……
