Child-fearers in Folk Culture of Hormozgan Province
Document Type : پژوهشی اصیل
Abstract
Unknown fears and horrors are rooted in lack of knowledge, superstitions, and illusions prevalent in different classes of a society, being much highlighted in the popular belief of the people. This article aims to analyze such beliefs among the people of Hormozgan province comparing the most common types with the beliefs of other people and nations. The data were collected through field study. The demons coming from the darkness are fearers who intend to punish, warn, and threaten the non-conforming children, as they do not have an appropriate understanding of the world around them. Children are stopped for their anger and unrest instinctively or through their parents. This study categorizes different types of attributed fears by adults to children among the people of Hormozgan province. It attempts to explain intuitively and scientifically the local data collected in Hormozgan, and discuss the roots and background of the fears based in Hormozgani people.
