Although conflict is a normal aspect of human life, mass media
technologies are changing the dynamics of conflict and shaping
strategies for deploying rituals. Rituals can provoke or escalate
conflict; they can also mediate it. Media representations have long
been instrumental in establishing, maintaining, and challenging
political and economic power, as well as in determining the nature
of religious practice. This collection of essays emerged from a
two-year project based on collaboration between the Faculty of
Religious Studies at Radboud University Nijmegen in the Netherlands
and the Ritual Dynamics Collaborative Research Center at the
University of Heidelberg in Germany. Here, an interdisciplinary
team of twenty-four scholars locates, describes, and explores cases
in which media-driven rituals or ritually saturated media
instigate, disseminate, or escalate conflict. Each chapter, built
around global and local examples of ritualized, mediatized
conflict, is multi-authored. The book's central question is: "When
ritual and media interact (either by the mediatizing of ritual or
by the ritualizing of media), how do the patterns of conflict
change?"
