Abstract:
The central theme of this volume is the incorporation of newly accessible mass media into practices of religious mediation in a variety of settings, including Pentecostal-charismatic churches and neo-traditional and Islamic movements, and the use of religious forms and image in the sphere of radio and cinema. Based on a long-term cooperation, the contributors examine the role of religion and media in the emergence and sustenance of new aesthetic formations that appeal to the body and the senses, and generate new styles of binding and moods of belonging in our time
