Religious Narratives in Contemporary Culture: Between Cultural
Memory and Transmediality analyses the meaning and role of religion
in western cultural practices in the twenty-first century. This
inquiry situates itself at the intersection between cultural memory
studies and the transmedial study of narrative and art.
Contributors focus on genres which have yet to receive significant
critical attention within the field, including speculative fiction
films and television series, autobiographical prose and poetry, and
action-adventure video games. In this time of crisis, where traces
of religious thinking still persist in the presence or absence of
religious faith, this volume's collective look into some of their
cultural embodiments is necessary and timely. The volume is
addressed primarily to scholars and students interested in
intersections between religious and cultural studies, revisions of
traditional religious narratives, literature as a space of
reflection on today's world, contemporary media studies and
remediation. Maria-Sabina Draga Alexandru's editing work in the
last stages of this volume was supported by a grant of the Romanian
Ministry of Education and Research, CNCS - UEFISCDI, project number
PN-III-P3-3.6-H2020-0035.
