This book examines how religion operates as an institution of
governance and discipline in society. The authors unravel the ways
in which adolescents are socialized into adhering to the dictates
of their religious identities, which often translates into
practices of micro-aggression enacted in and through their
interaction with the 'religious other' in schools and classrooms.
Through ethnographic immersion in villages in the Gujarat, the
authors identify media as a powerful source through which the
dominant ideology of religious discrimination is perpetuated among
adolescents. Subsequently, a critical media education framework was
developed in order to equip these young people with the critical
skills needed to challenge power relations, with the goal being to
identify resources for resistance within themselves and their
immediate media environments. Using pedagogic techniques such as
spatial and cultural mapping, content creation and applied theatre
practices to create a reflective yet practical guide, the findings
of this book can be applied to a wide range of socio-cultural
contexts.
