As the availability and use of media platforms continue to expand,
the cultural visibility of religion is on the rise, leading to
questions about religious authority: Where does it come from? How
is it established? What might be changing it? The contributors to
The Media and Religious Authority examine the ways in which new
centers of power and influence are emerging as religions seek to
“brand” themselves in the media age. Putting their in-depth,
incisive studies of particular instances of media production and
reception in Asia, Africa, Latin America, and North America into
conversation with one another, the volume explores how evolving
mediations of religion in various places affect the prospects,
aspirations, and durability of religious authority across the
globe. An insightful combination of theoretical groundwork and
individual case studies, The Media and Religious Authority invites
us to rethink the relationships among the media, religion, and
culture. The contributors are Karina Kosicki Bellotti, Alexandra
Boutros, Pauline Hope Cheong, Peter Horsfield, Christine Hoff
Kraemer, Joonseong Lee, Alf Linderman, Bahíyyah Maroon, Montré
Aza Missouri, and Emily Zeamer, with an afterword by Lynn Schofield
Clark.
