cargo cults  

Définition(s)

  • Cargo cults are millenarian and messianic movements that have emerged in the island nations of Melanesia, though with local variations, as a result of cultural contact. They sprang from the 19th-century arrival of Westerners with their ships loaded with what must have appeared as mind-boggling, out-of-this-world cargos on islands whose inhabitants had hitherto lived in cultural isolation. [Source: Encyclopedia of Global Religion; Cargo Cults]
