This edited volume deploys digital ethnography in varied contexts
to explore the cultural roles of mobile apps that focus on
religious practice and communities, as well as those used for
religious purposes (whether or not they were originally developed
for that purpose). Combining analyses of local contexts with
insights and methods from the global subfield of digital
anthropology, the contributors here recognize the complex ways that
in-app and on-ground worlds interact in a wide range of communities
and traditions. While some of the case studies emphasize the
cultural significance of use in local contexts and relationships to
pre-existing knowledge networks and/or non-digital relationships of
power, others explore the globalizing and democratizing influences
of mobile apps as communication technologies. From Catholic
confession apps to Jewish Kaddish assistance apps and Muslim halal
food apps, readers will see how religious-themed mobile apps create
complex sites for potential new forms of religious expression,
worship, discussion, and practices.
