Uuden hahmotteleminen vaatii vanhan näkemistä uudesta kulmasta: oman näkökulmamme esittelyn jälkeen tarkastelemme lapsuuden historian tutkimustradition päälinjoja ja uusimpia virtauksia.

Child witnesses played a very important role in the Swedish witchcraft cases on 1660s and 1670s. This article analyses how they developed their testimonies/stories in the interplay with the members of the court and with other children.

However, they were not strong enough to dispel the children’s own interpretations in which they mixed freely different kinds of cultural elements and images.
