Cuando las brujas vuelan y hacen daño. Esquemas culturales sobre la brujería del campesinado en Colombia.

Using a dialectological and ethnographic approach, this study describes and analyzes a number of cultural stereotypes held by the Colombian peasantry regarding witchcraft. Based on the Atlas lingüístico etnográfico de Colombia (1954-1983), this paper contrasts the linguistic materials of sound archives and linguistic maps. It makes use of the concept of ethnotexts to delve into the discursive logic of oral sources on popular culture and cultural stereotypes to discuss various peasant experiences and meanings of witchcraft in Colombia.
