Теоретической основой статьи выступают идеи современных этнологов и антропологов, рассматривающих магию и колдовство как социальные системы, регулирующие напряженность и поддерживающие равновесие в постколониальных обществах африканских стран. Исходной точкой является тезис о множественности моделей модернизаций в современных обществах, что предопределяет представление о колдовстве и магии как неотъемлемой части отдельных модернизаций. Колдовство таким образом проявляется не столько как пережиток прошлого, сколько как изменчивая парадигма, содержание которой может варьироваться и обретать другие конфигурации, оставаясь действенным началом в постколониальном социуме. В статье приводятся аргументы в виде судебных казусов и политических феноменов в современных африканских государствах, доказывающих действенность колдовства, как элемента продуцирования дискурсов в оппозиционной прессе, а также в изустно передающихся слухах и сплетнях, как своего рода оружии в социально политическом противостоянии официальной власти и общества.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="en"><p>Today witchcraft and occult practices are significant part of social interactions, economic and political processes in Africa. The theoretical basis of the given article are the ideas of modern ethnologists and anthropologists, which consider magic and witchcraft as a social system, regulating and supporting the tension balance of the post-colonial African societies. The starting point is the thesis of modernization models plurality in contemporary societies, which determines the idea of ​​witchcraft and magic as an integral part of single modernizations. Thus witchcraft appears not only as a relic of the past, but mostly as a volatile paradigm, the content of which may vary and take on other configurations, while remaining effective basis in the post-colonial society. Cases of a judicial incidents and political phenomena of modern African states were used in this article as arguments, they proving the efficacy of witchcraft, as part of the discourse production in the opposition press, orally transmittable rumors and gossip, as a kind of weapon of the socio political opposition to official authorities and society.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>постколониальная Африка</kwd><kwd>феномен колдовства</kwd><kwd>антиколдовские культы</kwd><kwd>множественность модернизаций</kwd><kwd>судебные практики</kwd><kwd>альтернативные источники власти</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>post-colonial Africa</kwd><kwd>the phenomenon of witchcraft</kwd><kwd>anti-witchcraft cults</kwd><kwd>multiplicity of modernizations</kwd><kwd>litigation</kwd><kwd>alternative sources of power</kwd></kwd-group></article-meta></front><back><ref-list><title>References</title><ref id="cit1"><label>1</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="ru">Anderson B.
