Có phải hiện đại hóa Đức Chúa” trong tín ngưỡng Vodou của Haiti? Những nhận xét về Đức Chúa Olowoum và phong trào tái châu Phi hóa ở Haiti : (Vietnamesisk översättning av "'Modernizing God' in Haitian Vodou? Reflections on Olowoum and reafricanization in Haiti.")

• This article explores processes of religious change within Haitian Vodou from the perspective of "reafricanization" and "desyncretism." As a case in point serve attempts to introduce Olowoum as the Vodou Godhead, thus replacing the Christian Bondye, or Lord. While the introduction of new elements, such as Olowoum, into Vodou seems fraught with little opposition from practitioners, the same can not be said regarding attempts to exclude religious elements (such as Catholic saints) from Vodou. A guiding reflection is also that reafricanization and desyncretization are best understood as contemporary expressions of Vodou’s long-standing tradition of religious adaptability.
