Cargo Cult

Japanese: カーゴ・カルト(英語表記)cargo cult
Cargo Cult
A millennialist religious movement that occurred mainly in New Guinea and Melanesia from the 1880s to the present day. It is translated as "cargo worship." In these regions, colonization by Britain, Germany, and other countries began in earnest in the second half of the 19th century. As the colonial system was established, the local people were socially, economically, and politically inferior and oppressed. In this situation, charismatic prophets appeared in various places, predicted that a world of bliss would come through faith in gods, and organized religious movements.

Japanese:
1880年代から今日にいたるまで,主としてニューギニアおよびメラネシアの各地で起こった千年王国主義的宗教運動。〈積荷崇拝〉と訳す。これらの地方では,19世紀後半になってから,イギリス,ドイツなどによって本格的に植民地化が進められた。植民地体制が整うに従って,現地の人々は社会的,経済的,政治的に劣位におかれ,抑圧された。このような状況のなかで,各地にカリスマ的予言者が現れ,神々を信仰することによって至福の世界が到来すると予言し,宗教運動を組織した。
