Speculative Television and the Doing and Undoing of Religion (Hardcover)

This book is a fascinating exploration into where discussion and deliberation of religious and spiritual concerns takes place as participation in traditional religion declines It explores how the complex and fantastical worlds of speculative television have become the place where theological questions and issues are now negotiated, understood, and formed It examines how shows such as Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Westworld invite their viewers and fans to engage with and imagine concepts traditionally reserved for religious spaces The book is informed by recent trends in both fan studies and religious studies, and with an emphasis on practice as well as belief It will resonate with scholars and upper-level students in the areas of religion, television studies, popular culture, fan studies, media studies, and philosophy
