[Satanism and satanic ritual abuse. A discourse analysis frm the field of the sociology of knowledge]

satanismus   

Satanism has developed into a controversially debated topic in public discourse. The discussion has been fuelled especially by the regularly expressed assumption that in specific groups sexual abuse and ritual homicide were taking place. However, what is this equation of Satanism and violence based on? And how could such an image of Satanism prevail? This publication shows the knowledge- and actor-based backgrounds of this specific and problematic discourse and wants to contribute to a ideologically free debate on contemporary Satanism in Germany.
