“I Could Devour You!” Cannibalism Throughout History
Throughout history, accusations of cannibalism have often been used as a means to discredit foreign cultures and individuals. In this concert lecture, Guy Schons addresses the persecution of “heretics,” Jews, and “witches” accused of killing children for ritual purposes; the colonization of the “New World” and the conversion of “indigenous cannibals” in which Luxembourgish missionaries played a role. Topics also include famine-related cannibalism during the Thirty Years' War and the use of human-based remedies. The presentation will feature songs related to these themes.
