Abstract:
New Orleans voodoo, also called crole voodoo, is an amalgamation of an honoring of the spirits of the dead, a respect for the elderly and the spiritual life, African knowledge of herbs and charms, and European elements of Catholicism. It is a religion of ancestor worship that is unknown to us, and that we are not necessarily exposed to or included in. As such, it is something foreign to our own belief system. Being ignorant about what the religion entails, people in general stigmatize it as something not worthy to discuss, nor to practice. Unfortunately, popular novels like Voodoo Season (2006) and Voodoo Dreams (1995) by Jowell Parker Rhodes, and especially Hollywoods production of horror movies such as White Zombie (1932), I Walked with a Zombie (1943), The Serpent and the Rainbow (1987), Voodoo Dawn (1998) or Hoodoo for Voodoo (2006), do not provide the public with a truthful background of the African, Haitian, or New Orleanean voodoo tradition. All too often these fictional sources fuel the already existing misrepresentations of the religion and represent it as something shadowy, highly secretive, and fearful. This differentiated introduction to New Orleans voodoo via Iain Softleys film The Skeleton Key (2004) exposes students to the major characteristics of the religion, makes them aware of popular cultures falsified voodoo construct, and teaches them how to deconstruct it. This interactive approach is student centered, appeals to their individual intelligences and learning styles, promotes critical thinking, and trains analytical skills.

Abstract:
Western bookstores today are full of small boxes that advertise “Voodoo Revenge Kit” on the front. Their short descriptions encourage anyone who wishes to harm a cheating lover and curse a difficult boss to buy this product. Companies now sell t-shirts, mugs, buttons and key chains with “voodoo dolls,” and bound figures with needles through the heart. Novels, newspapers, and movies have, for over a century, produced representations of human sacrifice, cannibalism and devil worship as rituals central to the practice Obeah, Vodou and Santeria. U.S. televangelist Pat Robertson even remarked that the catastrophic earthquake in Haiti on January 12, 2010, was God's retribution on Haitians for practicing voodoo and making a “pact with the devil.” Remarkably, few people recognize that these depictions are, to a large degree, linked to slavery and racism, which continue to leave their stain on the past and present laws of American and Caribbean nations.

Abstract:
This study aims to describe the figurative language and idioms which include the meaning of the figurative language and idioms that used by 5SOS on their songs: Voodoo Dolls and Invisible. To analyze the data, the stylistics approach that focuses on the lexical level of stylistics is used here. The lexical level is used to analyze the figurative language and the lexical meaning, while the theory that used in this study is following the Targian’s theory to consider the figurative language in the data. The second purposes of this study, is to understand the lexical meaning which using the theory of Chaer. Meanwhile, Parera’s theory about that there are three procedures to find the elements of the meaning of words as follows is also used here. As the result of this study, the language style of 5SOS by analyzing the data are describing youth problems, but not all of the figurative language elements as in Tarigan theory is contained in both of the song lyrics.

Rodriguez, Palacios Miguel Andres. "Reversed Voodoo Dolls: An exploration of physical visualizations of biological data." Thesis, KTH, Skolan för datavetenskap och kommunikation (CSC), 2015. http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:kth:diva-175796.

Abstract:
Physical visualizations are artifacts that materialize abstract data. They take advantage of human natural abilities to interact with information in the physical world. These visualizations present an opportunity to be applied on new application domains. With the objective of discovering if physical visualizations can support remote monitoring of biological data, a technology probe is presented in the form of a reversed voodoo doll. This probe uses the natural affordance of an anthropomorphic figure to represent a person and reverses the concept of voodoo dolls in a playful way. The scenario of safety is selected for testing physical visualizations of bio-data. Two measurements from the human body, heart rate and motion are chosen as a light way to monitor remotely over a person’s conditions. During the study, a group of six participants were exposed to the technology probe and their interactions with it were observed. The study reports on the users’ interpretations of the data and uses given to the alternative modalities of the probe. The results suggest that the data mapping to the object’s body parts was effective for conveying meaning. Additionally, the results confirm that the use of multiple modalities in physical visualizations offers an opportunity to present information in situated contexts in the real world. The degree of physicality achieved by the reversed voodoo doll and the effects of the selected metaphors are discussed. In conclusion, it is argued that the responses and interpretations from the users indicate that the reversed voodoo doll served as a means in its own right to transmit information for monitoring of bio-data.
Fysiska visualiseringar är artefakter som materialiserar abstrakt data. Genom att använda sig av mänskliga naturliga förmågor interagerar de med information i den fysiska världen. Dessa visualiseringar skapar möjligheter för appliceringar inom nya tillämpningsområden. För att undersöka om fysiska visualiseringar kan stödja fjärrövervakning av biologisk data introducerades en sond i form av en omvänd voodoodocka. Med en människolik figur representerar denna sond en verklig person. På så sätt utnyttjar den naturliga associationer till mänskliga egenskaper och omvänder konceptet vodoodockor på ett lekfullt sätt. De fysiska visualiseringarna av biologisk data testas ur ett säkerhetsperspektiv. Två värden, hjärtfrekvens och rörelse, mäts från en människokropp för att göra det möjligt att övervaka en persons tillstånd på distans. Under studien observeras sex användare då de interagerar med sonden. Studien visar hur användarna tolkar sondens data och hur användningen varierar med avseende på sondens olika modaliteter. Resultaten från denna studie tyder på att datamappningen till sondens kroppsdelar effektivt ökade förståelsen. Dessutom bekräftar resultaten att användning av flera modaliteter i fysiska visualiseringar gör det möjligt att presentera information, anpassat till olika situationer i den verkliga världen. Till vilken grad voodoodockan ger en känsla av kroppslighet samt konsekvenser av de valda metaforerna diskuteras. I slutsatsen hävdas att användarnas svar och tolkningar tyder på att den omvända voodoodockan fungerade som ett medel för att övervaka biologisk data.

Abstract:
Magistro baigiamojo darbo tema – apeiginės lėlės naudojamos magijoje, religiniuose ritualuose pasaulyje. Šiame darbe surinktą informacija naudojama kaip atrama kūrybinio darbo idėjai įgyvendinti. Rašto darbe apžvelgiama apeiginių lėlių gamyba, medžiagiškumas, panaudojimas pasaulio kontekste. „Lėlė“ buvo ne vien kaip žmogaus modelis religinių apeigų metu, bet ir vaikų žaislas. Domėtasi lėlių reikšme, dekoro detalėmis bei atlikimo technikomis skirtingose kultūrose: Afrikoje-Vudu, Amerikoje-Kachina ir Lietuvoje-Morė. Šiandien lėlė yra tapusi daugiau pramogos ar žaidimo įrankiu. Primiršta jos pirmapradė ritualinė reikšmė, tačiau pati lėlė kaip objektas, vis dar naudojama šiuolaikinių apeigų metu. Gilinamasi kokias lėles naudojo tam tikroms apeigoms atlikti. Ši tema pasirinkta neatsitiktinai, kadangi praktiniame darbe kuriamos „lėlės“, kaip žmogaus „išnaros“, kurios bus pateiktos pasikeitusioms asmeninėms vertybėms išreikšti. Todėl sukaupta informacija pagelbės meninio darbo eigoje. Rašto darbe domimasi apeiginėmis lėlėmis, tradicijomis jas kuriant, jų panaudojimu, funkcionalumu, medžiagiškumu. Pagrindinė tiriamojo darbo problema yra tai, kad nėra ištirta kokį poveikį sakraliniam objektui turi medžiagiškumas, šiuo atveju sakralinei lėlei. Ar jos medžiagiškumas turi įtakos atliekamai funkcijai. Ši problema svarbi kūrėjams, žmonėms giliau besidomintiems kultūra ir tradicijomis. Surinkta informacija padės tikslingai pasirinkti medžiagas kūrybiniam meninio projekto įgyvendinimui... [toliau žr. visą tekstą]

Collected information in this paper is used as a support for the implementation of the idea of creative work (object-doll). The paper provides an overview of ritual dolls making technology, multiplicity of fabrics used in the global context. "The doll was not only used as a human model in religion rituals but also as a children toy. In this Significant interest fields are: dolls value, decor details and performance techniques in different cultures: African-Wood, America-Kachina and Lithuania-More. Gloves are chosen according to the following aspects: reflecting different cultures, importantance for the continent religious context, similar materials in the production processes. This allows to compare and analyze them. Today, the doll has become more entertainment or pawn, forgotten the primordial ritual significance. Puppets are used in certain rites recently. This theme was chosen purposefully. Practical work developed a "doll" as a man's "slough," which will be submitted to the personal values expression. Therefore, gained information helpped at arts workflow. The survey of various sources revealed dolls performance in rituals and traditions, the main development stages, their usage, functionality, materiality. The main papper work problem is that, it is not known how materiality effects sacred object, in this case - sacred doll. Do they affect the materiality functions, at... [to full text]

Resa Bazile is an important voice in the current Baby Doll tradition. Cinnamon Black is an entertainer, a queen in the Fi Yi Yi Mandigo Warriors Mardi Gras Indian tribe, a Voodoo practitioner and reader at the New Orleans Historic Voodoo Museum in New Orleans, and a cultural consultant for documentaries, film industry projects, and media outlets. With her finger on the pulse of New Orleans’ past and present spiritual and cultural heritage, this interview with Resa, who is best known as “Cinnamon Black,” delves into the meaning of the Baby Doll tradition, her group, the Treme Million Dollar Baby Dolls, about the modern revival of the tradition, about the impact of white women maskers on the tradition, and what she sees as the future of the practice.

Abstract:
The butt of ridicule in Antonio de Zamora’s 1697 comedia, El hechizado por fuerza, is the grotesquely xenophobic figurón, don Claudio. Claudio has broken his promise of matrimony to doña Leonor, who fights to recapture him through the specter of sorcery. El hechizado became a favorite on the eighteenth-century stage. Yet, behind the word “hechizado” lay an uncomfortable association between mixed-race peoples and the occult. Central to Leonor’s campaign to bring Claudio to heel is her slavewoman, Lucigüela (Lucía), whose presumed “native” powers of enchantment terrorize the wayward groom. Yet how would a director best portray this subservient yet intimidating character? Described alternately as criolla, guatamelteca, or esclava, Lucigüela’s dramatic representation remains contradictory and vague. Is her character even credible or believable by Lope de Vega’s standards as expressed in the Arte Nuevo? One might expect a household slave like Lucía to be dark-skinned, but pale slaves also populated the seventeenth-century imaginary (see Isabel/Zelima of Zayas, “La esclava de su amante”). Her spoken Castilian betrays none of the parodic argot ascribed to recently arrived Africans or bozales. And Lucía’s campy capers—voodoo dolls, potions, oil-lamps, etc.—conform to literary convention, not ethnography. The most compelling hint for casting Lucía comes from Don Claudio’s reaction to her, which is one of terror and repugnance. In order to motivate his fear, Lucigüela’s character should project exoticism and foreignness. She is criolla, but not in the usual sense of a descendent of Spaniards born in the New World (Aut.), but rather as a ladina, mulata, garífuna, zamba, or other Creole mix (Fleischmann 1993; Lara Alberola 2010). This paper investigates these New World hybridities and their unsettling effect upon Claudio, who here caricaturizes the complacent, maurophobic Spanish social order. By the same token, Lucigüela drew audiences by appealing to the inverse of maurophobia: Spanish literary maurophilia (Fuchs 2008).

"the sudden flickerings of hand to mouth and expulsions of breath that fill the car with smoke as his mind fights what will happen when we get there. Worry Dolls I laugh at your funny hairband with its crude, bright thread-dolls tacked to a coarse, purple ribbon. ‘You tell each doll one worry at night and it helps—a little,’ you explain, laughing back. It seems to me a talisman that must come from your Costa Rican life, invested with some jungle peoples’ folklore for healing, but dates, you say, from a day of ‘retail therapy’ at a shopping mall near Rancocas Valley Hospital. Trust you to transcend the banal with the potent and magical. We wore each other out with sleep deprivation this visit, playing worry dolls until that dead time when it is quiet even on West Holly Avenue, - and it helped. And now you are back in Shy Town asking why visits have to mean a week of tired, and I am still here in limbo between worlds smiling at the bit of magic you take with you, and leave behind; and I remember us laughing, with some unease in our amazement, at my story of the old woman in her Sunday coat who spoke my thoughts out loud that day under the ‘L’ when I too inhabited the strange world you live in now: ‘I don’t like State Street.’ ‘I just don’t like State Street.’ Too much voodoo on State Street.’ I think of you there, a bird of paradise in a high-rise cage, cycling on your mountain bike after dark among demons of the city, and I send you some magic in return—some good voodoo vibes to balance the odds, to make you smile,."
