Boogeyman, Omul negru (sau bau-bau n limba romn), este un monstru folcloric sau legendar. Omul negru nu are o nfiare specific, ntruct concepiile privind chipul unui monstru variaz de la o gospodrie la alta, chiar n cadrul aceleiai comuniti. Omul negru poate fi folosit metaforic pentru a exprima o persoan sau un lucru, pentru care cineva are o fric iraional. Prinii le spun adesea copiilor lor obraznici c omul negru va veni i i va lua, cu scopul de a-i face s se cumineasc.Se pare c legenda Omului negru i are originea n Scoia, acolo unde asemenea creaturi sunt denumite bogles, boggarts , sau bogies. Povetile despre omul negru variaz n funcie de zon. Astfel, n unele locuri, omul negru e brbat, iar n altele e o femeie. n statele din vestul SUA, Omul negru zgrie la fereastr, pe cnd, n alte locuri din SUA el se manifest ca o cea verde. El se poate ascunde sub pat sau sub toalet i i gdil pe copii atunci cnd acetia se duc la culcare.

De asemenea, n Bulgaria, n unele sate, oamenii cred n existena unei creaturi proase i negre, denumit talasam, care locuiete n ntunericul hambarelor sau n podul caselor i care iese noaptea pentru a-i speria pe copii.

Este evident c simbolismul negrului variaz n funcie de epoci i regiuni. Un veneian din Renatere sau un plantator din Virginia nu au despre acest lucru aceeai reprezentare c i Leopold Sedar Senghor, din cea de-a dou jumtate a secolului al XX-lea. Ceea ce se poate spune n aceast privina nu se refer dect la nite date psihologice de natur istoric, precum i la reziduurile lsate de acestea n subcontientul occidentalilor.Este ns important s se exclud din aceast tema orice judecat de valoare, pentru a se reine numai interpretarea. Negrul se refer n reprezentrile imaginative ale unei epoci, la o stare primitiv a omului n care ar predomin slbticia, dar i devotamentul; impulsivitatea uciga, dar i buntatea; n fond coexistena contrariilor neechilibrate ntr-o tensiune constana, dar manifestate printr-o succesiune brusc.Pe calea individualizrii, Jung consider negrul c partea sumbr a personalitii, una dintre primele etape de strbtut. Albul ar fi, dimpotriv, captul unei dezvoltri n sensul perfeciunii. n acest sens, el se apropie de concepia alchimitilor pentru care negritudinea marcheaz punctul de plecare al Transmutaiei. Negrul ar indic faza iniial a unei evoluii regresive. Se poate de asemenea not asimilarea negrului cu slbaticul cel bun al lui Jean-Jacques Rousseau i Bernardin de Saint-Pierre i mod din secolul al XVIII-lea de a ntreine copii negri. Simbolismul lor ar putea n acest caz s se apropie, dar numai ntr-o anumit msur , de cel al piticului sau bufonului.O alt imagine a negrului a fost popularizat de celebrul romn Colib Unchiului Tom prin care acesta devine simbolul sclavului maltratat i persecutat de ctre nite stpni nemiloi care l exploateaz, dar pe care el i iart din sentimente religioase. Inutil s subliniem aici ct rasism incontient exist n asemenea reprezentri, pe care ns observatorul nu poate totui s nu le nregistreze.C o pasre din aripi, Capul din urechi vibreaz. El picioarele trudite S-i mai poarte n-are cum. Un om negru, Un om negru, Un om negru Vine i pe pat s-aeaz. Un om negru Nu m las s-adorm noaptea nicidecum Serghei Esenin Omul Negru.

Abogeyman(also spelledbogieman,boogeyman, orboogie man, and pronounced/bimn/or/boimn/)[1]is a mythical creature in many cultures used by adults or older children to frighten bad children into good behavior. Thismonsterhas no specific appearance, and conceptions about it can vary drastically from household to household within the same community; in many cases, he has no set appearance in the mind of an adult or child, but is simply a non-specific embodiment of terror. Parents may tell their children that if they misbehave, the bogeyman will get them. Bogeymen may target a specific mischieffor instance, a bogeyman that punishes children whosuck their thumbsor general misbehaviour, depending on what purpose needs serving. In some cases, the bogeyman is anicknamefor theDevil.Bogeyman tales vary by region. The bogeyman is usually a masculine entity but can be any gender or simplyandrogynous.Contents[hide] 1Etymology 1.1Other putative origins 2Analogs in other cultures 2.1Sack Man 2.2El Coco 2.3Babau 2.4Butzemann 2.5Other examples 3In modern culture 4See also 5Notes and references 6External linksEtymology[edit]The wordbogeyis derived from theMiddle Englishbogge/bugge(also the origin of the wordbug), and so is generally thought to be a cognate of theGermanbgge,bggel-mann(English "Bogeyman"). The word could also be linked to many similar words in other European languages:bogle(Scots),boeman(Dutch),Butzemann(German),busemann(Norwegian),bhmand(Danish),bcan,pca,pookaorpookha(Irish),pwca,bwgaorbwgan(Welsh),puki(Old Norse),pixieorpiskie(Cornish),puck(English),lidrcormumus(Hungarian),bogu(Slavonic),buka(Russian,),bauk(Serbian),bubulis(Latvian),baubas(Lithuanian),baubau(Romanian),croque-mitaine(French),uomo nero(Italian),bobok (bobo)(Polish),papoorsarronco(Portuguese),torbalan(Bulgarian), (Greek).[2]The wordbugbear, frombug+bear, suggests that the bogey eating small children takes on the appearance of a bear.[3]The wordbugabooprobably arose as an alteration ofbugbear.[4]Other putative origins[edit]InSoutheast Asia, the term is commonly accepted to refer toBugis[5]orBuganese[6]pirates, ruthless seafarers of southernSulawesi,Indonesia's third-largest island. These pirates often plagued early English and Dutch trading ships of theBritish East India CompanyandDutch East India Company. It is popularly believed that this resulted in the European sailors' bringing their fear of the "bugi men" back to their home countries. However, etymologists disagree with this, because words relating tobogeymanwere in common use centuries before European colonization of Southeast Asia and it is therefore unlikely that the Bugis would have been commonly known to westerners during that time.Analogs in other cultures[edit]Bogeyman-like beings are almost universal, common to the folklore of many countries.Sack Man[edit]Main article:Sack ManIn many countries, a bogeyman variant is portrayed as a man with a sack on his back who carries naughty children away. This is true for many Latin countries, such asBrazil,Portugal,Spain, and the countries ofSpanish America, where it referred to asel "Hombre del costal",el "hombre del saco", or in Portuguese,o "homem do saco"(all of which mean "the sack/bag man"), or el roba-chicos, meaningchild-stealer. Similar legends are also very common in Eastern Europe, as well as Haiti and some countries in Asia.El Coco[edit]Main article:Coco (folklore)El Coco (alsoEl CucoandCucuy, sometimes calledEl Bolo) is a monster common to many Spanish-speaking countries.InSpain, parents will sing lullabies or tell rhymes to children, warning them that if they do not sleep,El Cocowill come and get them. The rhyme originated in the 17th century has evolved over the years, but still retains its original meaning.Coconuts(Spanish:coco) received that name because their brownish hairy surface reminded Portuguese explorers ofcoco, a ghost with a pumpkin head. Latin America also has El Coco, although its folklore is usually quite different, commonly mixed with native beliefs, and, because of cultural contacts, sometimes more related to the bogeyman of the United States. However, the termEl Cocois also used in Spanish-speakingLatin Americancountries, such asBolivia,Colombia,Guatemala,Peru,Mexico,El Salvador,Honduras, and theDominican Republic, although there it is more usually calledEl Cuco, as inPuerto Rico,Chile,UruguayandArgentina. InMexicoand among Mexican-Americans,El Cucuyis portrayed as an evil monster that hides under children's bed at night and kidnaps or eats the child that does not obey his/her parents or go to sleep when it is time to do so. However, the Spanish American bogeyman does not resemble the shapeless or hairy monster of Spain: social sciences professor Manuel Medrano says popular legend describesEl cucuyas a small humanoid with glowing red eyes that hides in closets or under the bed. 'Some lore has him as a kid who was the victim of violence... and now hes alive, but hes not,' Medrano said, citing Xavier Garza's 2004 bookCreepy Creatures and other Cucuys CUCUYA LA WLISLOCKYIn Brazilian folklore, a similar character calledCucais depicted as a female humanoidalligator. There's a famous lullaby sung by most parents to their children that says that theCucawill come and get them if they do not sleep, just as in Spain. TheCucais also a character ofMonteiro Lobato'sStio do Picapau Amarelo, a series of short novels written for children, which contain a large number of characters from Brazilian folklore.Babau[edit]"Babau" redirects here. For other uses, seeBabau (disambiguation).In the countries of the easternMediterranean, children who misbehave are threatened with a creature known as "babau" (or "baubau", "baobao", "bavbav" or similar). InItalyandRomania, the Babau (in Romania, Bau-bau) is also calledl'uomo nero(Romanian:omul negru) or "black man". In Italy, he is portrayed as a tall man wearing a heavy black coat, with a black hood or hat which hides his face. Sometimes, parents will knock loudly under the table, pretending that someone is knocking at the door, and saying: "Here comesl'uomo nero! He must know that there's a child here who doesn't want to drink his soup!"L'uomo nerois not supposed to eat or harm children, just take them away to a mysterious and frightening place. A popular lullaby says that he would keep a child with him "for a whole year".[8]InSlovenia, the "Bavbav" is described as a formless spirit. InGreeceandCyprus, the equivalent of the Bogeyman is known asBaboulas(Greek:). Typically, he is said to be hiding under the bed, although the details of his story is adapted by the parents in a variety of ways. InEgypt"al-Bu'bu'" () is often depicted as a night creature dressed in black, who haunts children that misbehave.Butzemann[edit]In Germanic countries, the bogeyman is called thebutzemann,busseman,buhmanorboeman. InGermany, the bogeyman is known as the "Buhmann" or theButzemann. The common German expression is "der schwarze Mann" (the black man in English), which refers directly to some inhuman or rather paranormal creature, which carries children away and hides in the dark corners under the bed or in the closet. The figure is part of the children game"Wer hat Angst vorm schwarzen Mann"(Who is afraid of the boggie-man).InDenmark, it is known as thebussemanorBhman. It hides under the bed and grabs children who will not sleep. Like the English, it is also a slang term for nasal mucus. InNorway, he is referred to as theBusemann. In theNetherlands, theBoemanis portrayed as a creature that resembles a man, dressed completely black, with sharp claws and fangs. He hides under the bed or in the closet. The Bogeyman takes bad children or those that refuse to sleep and locks them in his basement for a period of time.In the Pennsylvania Dutch dialect, used in those areas of Pennsylvania colonized by Swiss and Germanic peoples during the eighteenth century, "der Butzemann" is the term for a male scarecrow. A female scarecrow is a "Butzefrau".Other examples[edit] AfghanistanBalaorNewanay Mama, which means "The Monster or Crazy person", is used to scare children when they don't want to sleep or when they don't want to take their medicine. Albania There are two similar creatures that are used to frighten children. In the South (Vlore area), there is Katallani, that means "the Catalan." This is a collective memory of the Catalan occupation many centuries ago, from South Italy; then in the whole country, there is Gogoli, that indeed means "the Mongol" and is a collective memory of the Golden horde. Algeria A monster made up of various animal parts called H'awouahoua. It has eyes that are blobs of flaming spit and a coat made of the clothes of the children it eats. Azerbaijan A bogeyman-like creature parents refer to make children behave is calledkhokhan("xoxan"). Bahamas "Small man" is the name given to a man who rides in a cart drawn by itself and picks up any child seen outside after sundown, the term "rollin' cart" was used to scare children who misbehaved. Anyone taken by the small man becomes a small person and has to ride on the back of his cart with him forever. Belgium A faceless bogeyman called "Oude Rode Ogen" (Old Red Eyes) was known throughout the Flanders region and said to originate inMechelen. It is said to have been a cannibalisticshapeshifterthat was able to change between human form to that of a black dog. It later became a children's story in the early 1900s called "The Nikker", known to devour young children who stayed up past their bedtime. BelizeTata Duendeis a mythicalgoblindescribed as being of small stature , has a beard, is wrinkled, lacks thumbs, has his feet backwards, and wears a large brimmed hat. It is a protector of the forests and animals and was used to scare children from going out to play at night or going into the jungle. InBosnia and Herzegovina,Croatia,SerbiaandMacedonia, the Bogeyman is calledBabaroga,babameaningold womanandrogovimeaninghorns, literally meaningold woman with horns. The details vary from one household to another. In one household,babarogatakes children, puts them in a sack and then, when it comes to its cave, eats them. In another household, it takes children and pulls them up through tiny holes in the ceiling. BrazilandPortugal A monster more akin to the Bogeyman is calledBicho Papo(Eating Beast) orSarronco(Deep-Voiced Man). A notable difference between it and thehomem do sacois that the latter is a daytime menace and "Bicho Papo" is a night-time menace. Bulgaria In some villages, people used to believe that a hairy, dark, ghost-like creature called atalasam(Ta-lah-SUMM) lived in the shadows of the barn or in the attic and came out at night to scare little children. In addition, there is a city-folklore creature called Torbalan (the Bag-man) who raids during the night kidnapping children that have misbehaved. Congo In theLingalalanguage, theDongola Misoor "Creature with Scary Eyes" is used to discourage children from staying up beyond bedtime. It is also used to warn children or even adults about the potential danger in speaking to or dealing with strangers. China "Ou-wu" is usually described as a witch or a scary woman who kidnaps children who misbehave. It is popular among southern regions of China and places like Hong Kong. The origin of the term is a pronoun for "monster" and it is widely used as a synonym for "ugly" or "hideous" even until today. Cyprus In the Cypriot dialect, Bogeyman is called Kkullas (). EnglandInYorkshire, young children were warned that if they stole from orchards, they might be eaten by a fairy in the form of a giant caterpillar called Awd Goggie. A similar creature called The Gooseberry Wife was said to guard gooseberries onThe Isle of Wight. Egypt The "Abu Rigl Maslukha" ( ), which translates to the "Man With Burnt/Skinned Leg". It is a very scary story that parents tell their children when they misbehave. The "Abu Rigl Maslukha" is a monster that got burnt when he was a child because he did not listen to his parents. He grabs naughty children to cook and eat them. Finland The equivalent of the Bogeyman in Finland ismrk. The most famous usage of the word these days takes place inMoomin-stories (originally written in Swedish) in which mrk (the Groke) is a frightening, dark blue, big, ghost-looking creature. France The French equivalent of the Bogeyman isle croque-mitaine("themitten-biter" or rather "the hand-cruncher",mitainemeans mitt in an informal way).[9] Georgia In addition to a "Bag Man" much similar to its namesakes from other cultures, in Georgia, a fictional creature called "Bua" is sometimes used by parents to (lightly) scare little children (up to preschool age) when misbehaving; e.g., "if you don't eat well now, Bua will come", or "do you hear Bua knocking? It asks why you don't want to go to bed". It's usually not specified what Bua looks like or what it does to children; Nevertheless, Bua can "bite you", or "take you away". It also can "steal" something: "You can't have more candys now Bua took it". There may be an etymological link to "bu" Georgian word for owl, which makes night sounds scary for children. Germany The Bogeyman is known asDer schwarze Mann(the black man). "Schwarz" does not refer to the colour of his skin (most Germans had never met a real black person during the time these legends developed) but to his preference for hiding in dark places, like the closet, under the bed of children or in forests at night. There is also an active game for little children which is calledWer hat Angst vorm schwarzen Mann?(Who is afraid of the black man?) or an old traditional folk songEs tanzt ein Bi-Ba-Butzemann in unserm Haus herum(A Bi-Ba-Bogeyman dances around in our house) and the grossmann. Guyana In Guyana, the "Bogeyman" is known as a "Jumbi". It is a popular belief that he only lives in the dark. It is said that he lives in the closet and under the bed. It is used to scare children to eat their food, so they can defend themselves against him. "Jumbies" eat little boys and girls, starting with the leg, to the brains. Haiti In Haiti, there is a popular belief that a tall man, with legs two floors high, walks around the towns at midnight to catch and eat the people that stay outside. He is called Mtminwi, which seems to be a contraction of mt (from French "matre" English "master" and minwi from French "minuit" English "midnight", hence meaning the "master of midnight"). Tonton Macouteor Uncle gunnysack was a Haitian bogeyman who would snare misbehaving children and eat them for breakfast. TheMVSN, a secret police force of Haiti, used this myth as a tool for control as many Tonton Macoutes wereVoodooadherents. Papa Docwas an alter-ego of Former Haitian President Francois Duvalier. He parlayed Haitian mythology and presented himself asBaron Samedithe Voodoo Loa of Death. His fashion was designed to enforce the mystique of his personality cult as he dressed like Baron Samdi and hid his eyes with sunglasses. Hejaz,Saudi Arabia or "Dojairah and Umna al Ghola", which means "Our mother the Monster", is used to scare children when they misbehave or walk alone outside. Hungary The Hungarian equivalent of the Bogeyman is theMumus, which is a monster-like creature, and theZskos Ember, a man with a sack, and this is the literal meaning of his name. A third creature is theRzfasz bagoly("Copperpenis Owl"), a giant owl with a copper penis.[10] Iceland The Icelandic equivalent of the Bogeyman isGrla, a female troll who would take misbehaving children and eat them duringChristmas Eve.

Ora 9 a sositOmul Negru a venit!Va mai aduceti aminte aceste versuri din copilarie? Oare ce inseamna? Si ce se ascunde in spatele lor? Unde le-am invatat si ce simbolizau ele?Omul Negrusau simbolismul celebruluibau-baude care toti ne speriam cand eram mici ascunde mult mai multe decat am putea crede. Astfel, simbolismul acestuia se pare ca e originar din Scotia, dar daca privim dincolo de ocean in SUA si Asia de Sud Est putem observa ca aceasta creatura din folclor apare de nenumarate ori. Ea zgarie noaptea la ferestre sau apare ca o ceata verde, nu are o descriere obisnuita caci fiecare popor si-l inchipuie altfel, fie barbat ori femeie. El sperie copiii sau e piratul care ataca vasele de pe mare ale colonistilor francezi. El apare si in Brazilia si Portugalia ca un om care fura copii si ii baga intr-un sac (Omul cu Sacul). El Coco este monstrul care ii va lua pe copiii care nu vor sa adoarma in tarile vorbitoare de limba spaniola. Pana si in Bulgaria apare acest personaj care traieste in podurile caselor si sperie copiii. In toate aceste cazuri, acest personaj sperie copiii care fac pozne sau lucruri urate tocmai pentru a impiedica acest comportament. In cele mai multe locuri, Omul Negru este o alta denumire pentruDiavol.

In Romania si Italia, Omul Negru este un calator fara chip, iar in Slovenia, bavbav este descris ca un spirit fara forma. In Grecia si Cipru el se ascunde sub pat, iar in Egipt vaneaza copiii care nu sunt cuminti. Buhmann apare int tarile germanice si este o creatura supranaturala sau chiar inumana si care se ascunde in dulap. In Olanda, Omul Negru are gheare si colti si inchide in pivnita copiii neascultatori. Alte popoare folosesc aceste sperietori pentru ca le aduc aminte de evenimente recurente transmise prin viu grai invazii, hoarde barbare, razboaie.

Este evident ca simbolismul negrului variaza in functie de epoci si regiuni. Un venetian din Renastere sau un plantator din Virginia nu au despre acest lucru aceeasi reprezentare ca siLeopold Sedar Senghor, din cea de-a doua jumatate a secolului al XX-lea. Ceea ce se poate spune in aceasta privinta nu se refera decat la niste date psihologice de natura istorica, precum si la reziduurile lasate de acestea in subconstientul occidentalilor.

Este insa important sa se excluda din aceasta tema orice judecata de valoare, pentru a se retine numai interpretarea. Negrul se refera in reprezentarile imaginative ale unei epoci, la o stare primitiva a omului in care ar predomina salbaticia, dar si devotamentul; impulsivitatea ucigasa, dar si bunatatea; in fond coexistenta contrariilor neechilibrate intr-o tensiune constanta, dar manifestate printr-o succesiune brusca.

Pe calea individualizarii,Jungconsidera negrul ca partea sumbra a personalitatii, una dintre primele etape de strabatut. Albul ar fi, dimpotriva, capatul unei dezvoltari in sensul perfectiunii. In acest sens, el se apropie de conceptia alchimistilor pentru care negritudinea marcheaza punctul de plecare al Transmutatiei. Negrul ar indica faza initiala a unei evolutii regresive. Se poate de asemenea nota asimilarea negrului cu salbaticul cel bun al lui Jean-Jacques RousseausiBernardin de Saint-Pierresi moda din secolul al XVIII-lea de a intretine copii negri. VEZI PETRU CEL MARE I PUKIN. Simbolismul lor ar putea in acest caz sa se apropie, dar numai intr-o anumita masura , de cel al piticului sau bufonului. O alta imagine a negrului a fost popularizata de celebrul romanColiba Unchiului Tomprin care acesta devine simbolul sclavului maltratat si persecutat de catre niste stapani nemilosi care il exploateaza, dar pe care el ii iarta din sentimente religioase. Inutil sa subliniem aici cat rasism inconstient exista in asemenea reprezentari, pe care insa observatorul nu poate totusi sa nu le inregistreze.

Mi-amintesc de cum m jucam cnd eram mic. Ne jucam de-a omu negru. Unul dintre noi era omu negru i se ascundea ntr-un col ntunecos. Ziceam noi c-i n cmar. Restul decurgea cam aa: Copiii veneau de la coal:Mami, mamiiiii! Am luat un 9 la biologie!Bravo, hai s te rspltim! Du-te n cmar i ia un borcan de gem.Copilul mergea, deschidea ua i omul negru l speria. Mama l linitea zicnd c nu-i nimeni n cmar. Scena se repeta de cteva ori, apoi toi copiii fceam un cerc i cntam: ora dou a sosit, omu negru n-a venit, / ora trei a sosit, omu negru n-a venit, / ora patru a sosit, omu negru n-a venitApoi omu negru pornea vntoarea (nu tiam niciodat la ce or). mi amintesc cum fugeam i vedeam asfaltul cum alerga sub picioarele mele. mi btea inima tare-tare i parc simeam c omu negru era n spatele meu gata s m smuceasc de tricou.Stau i m gndesc. De fapt chiar ieri am jucat jocu acesta. Sau cred c-l jucm de-o venicie. De cte ori nu am mers acas cu gndul la o prtie cald, o mbriare neateptat, o sup de roii cu tiei de cas? Cnd colo ne-am trezit cu asfaltul alergnd sub picioarele noastre i omu negru n urma noastr! Cine a lsat ua de la cmar deschis? Pe unde s-a furiat omu negru? Cine l-a lsat n cas? Ne-am sturat s ne mai jucm de-a omu negru! Laura Gavril, BraovDintr-un grup de copii se alegea "Omul Negru". El statea la distanta de grup si numea un sfetnic cu care stabilea o ora (de ex. ora 3). Sfetnicul facea parte din grup si canta impreuna cu ceilalti copii cu care se tinea de mana si toti se roteau incet in cerc:"Ora 1 a sosit/Omul Negru n-a venit; Ora 2 a sosit/Omul Negru n-a venit; Bate ceasul ora 3... Omul Negru a venit".Cand se ajungea la ora stabilita, Omul Negru venea in fuga si toti se imprastiau. Cel care era prins urma sa fie Omul Negru.
