Description	Most European countries have several research groups devoted to witchcraft and popular culture, and some have developed extensive and valuable websites; among the model sites are those of the Arbeitskreis interdisziplinäre Hexenforschung and the Survey of Scottish Witchcraft. Some scholars have even questioned whether a history of 'popular culture' is possible because of the modern implications attached to 'popular'. The study of popular culture becomes the study of disequilibrium, differentiation, and dynamism as much as it is about binding and strengthening communities. Concepts of community and gender are at the heart of premodern identification and prosecution of witches, and of modern analyses of witchcraft. A central albeit often unstated aspect of the disenchantment debate has been the relationship between history and folklore, a subject especially important for scholars of witchcraft and popular culture. Analysing how personal and local networks interacted to develop a popular culture of witchcraft has been fundamental to modern witchcraft studies. Book Name: Interpreting Early Modern Europe
