This book maps emergent global practices and discourses of
mediated, spiritualized social change. Bringing together scholarly
perspectives from around the world and across disciplines, the
authors explore how 'spiritualities' express themselves through and
with media - from television to Internet, from fashion to art
murals - as socially transforming voices and practices. The very
fluidity of the meaning of spirituality is part of its appeal: it
can service as easily as a reference to a perceived common essence
of humanness as it can work to legitimate market-based practices.
While the involvement of spiritual life with social transformation
is certainly not peculiar to contemporary societies, what has
changed is the upsurge of media in these matters. In the specific
case of religion, globalization has unleashed a cascade of
unexpected and unpredictable implications, many of which are
consequences of the media. The authors here show ways in which
media and spiritualities are engaged around the world in efforts to
restructure paradigms, institutions, beliefs and practices to
affect social change.
