  Cargo cult - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A cargo cult is any of a group of religious movements that occurred in Melanesia, in the Southwestern Pacific.
Cargo cults thus focused on purifying their communities of what they perceived as 'white' influences by conducting rituals similar to the white behavior they had observed, presuming that this activity would make cargo come.
The cargo cult has been used as an analogy to describe certain phenomena in the First World, particularly in the area of business.

 [No title]
The cargo cult of a colonial administrator, concerned to oversee and control, differed from that of the anthropologist (concerned, roughly, to understand), the missionary (concerned to combat), or the adventurer and journalist (concerned to instruct, amaze, and entertain).
With strange propriety, Tanna's nearest neighbors, Polynesian speakers who live on Futuna, a volcanic plug 70 kilometers away call the island that they see on their western horizon gauta, a word that also means "cargo" (Janet Keller, pers comm;.1992).
If cargo cult is anthropology's monster, then the discipline's good Dr Frankensteins may find themselves engaged in a mortal pursuit across the globe, from steamy Melanesia to icebound Arctic seas, in a vain attempt to obliterate their own adopted creation.

At "Strange Cargo," a store in New York's East Village, it certainly seems that way.
Stepping into the small colorful store, covered in toys, cds, videos and vinyl, one gets instantly, happily, blasted back in time, when "Munsters" toys made you think of "The Ventures," and Barbie dolls were practically dancing the mashed potato and the pony.
Even though both the toys and the music are diverse at "Strange Cargo," the vibe is definitely '60's and '70's.

For the Hatton Gallery at the University of Newcastle, UK, Strange Cargo is a new 24-page color comic book illustrating the personal experiences of area young people with the Hatton Gallery's unique and idiosyncratic collections.

The designs for the murals are the work of international artists Simon Grennan and Chris Sperandio - known as the Kartoon Kings.
