| Omschrijving |
The course will analyse different levels of interaction between religion, media and popular culture, in Western and Asian contexts. We will address especially the religious and cultural traditions of Christianity, Buddhism, Confucianism, and New Religious Movements, but will also consider briefly Hinduism, Judaism and Islam. The major forms of media and popular culture that will be looked at are manga, films, TV series, documentaries, advertising, social networking and the Internet.
Students will study concepts and theories such as media ’production’ and ‘reception’, ‘mediation’ and ‘mediatization’, ‘ethics’ and ‘aesthetics’; the double process of (1) the adoption of media by religious groups and (2) the adoption of religious imagery by secular media; the effects of media-translation/transmission of religious culture on the social understanding of religion; the effects of the interplay between religious culture and media on the media domain. These concepts and themes will be illustrated through case-studies. |
