This title looks at the complex role that media play in the rise
and spread of fundamentalist movements within various religions
traditions. The turn of the twenty-first century has seen an
ever-increasing profile for religion, contrary to long-standing
predictions of its decline. Instead, the West has experienced what
some call a 'realignment' of religion where it persists in
conjunction with other institutions and structures. Outside the
West, religion is an ever more prominent force in social and
political movements of both reform and retrenchment. Across these
contexts, no issue in religion is of as much concern as
fundamentalism - or rather the fundamentalisms within various
traditions - which are seen to be fomenting religious, social,
ethnic, and political tension and conflict. The contributions to
this volume represent the first effort to look at 'fundamentalisms'
and 'the media' together and address the resulting relations and
interactions from critical perspectives of history, technology,
geography, and practice. The result lays important groundwork for
scholarship on these new and increasingly important phenomena.
