-MY GLOSSARY-

Hello people, This post is about the most important words about my topic, voodoo. Another activity of the class, apart from choosing the words I had to define them.  Here you have it!

1.Voodoo: Voodoo is a religion originally from West Africa, where it is still practiced today by members of the Ewe, Kabye, Mina and Fon de Togo and Benin ethnic groups. It is also known as voodoo the variant that originated from the syncretism that occurred in the Caribbean area between the beliefs held by slaves moved from West Africa and the Catholic Christian religion practiced mostly in those lands.

Hurbon, Laënnec https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vudú (1993 / first edition in French: 1984). «The imaginary barbarian». Mexico City: Economic Culture Fund (translation by Jorge Padín Videla).

2.Religion: A religion is a solidarity system of beliefs and practices related to sacred things, that is, separated, forbidden, beliefs and practices that unite in a single moral community, called the Church, to all those who adhere to it.

3.Black Magic: It is known by the name of black magic to the series of acts that propose methods and ends badly seen by the society in which they are carried out. These are spells that seek to adversely affect the fate of one or more individuals, causing health problems, accidents or the loss of their possessions, among other misfortunes.

Hello people!  This publication deals more specifically with the topic of digital humanities. I have had to look for the definition that for me is the most appropriate and three projects of digital humanities.

Following the search, the three projects of the digital humanities that caught...

Hello everyone! The work that we have done recently tried on the word post truth. First of all, we had to say that we understand ourselves about the post-truth word. The concept of post truth is to describe a situation in which, when creating public opinion, the objective facts have less influence than the calls to personal beliefs. It is a novaparla for the lie.
