This multidisciplinary study of Scientology examines the
organization and the controversies around it through the lens of
popular culture, referencing movies, television, print, and the
Internet-an unusual perspective that will engage a wide range of
readers and researchers. For more than 60 years, Scientology has
claimed alternative religious status with a significant number of
followers, despite its portrayals in popular culture domains as
being bizarre. What are the reasons for the vital connections
between Scientology and popular culture that help to maintain or
challenge it as an influential belief system? This book is the
first academic treatment of Scientology that examines the movement
in a popular-culture context from the perspective of several
Western countries. It documents how the attention paid to
Scientology by high-profile celebrities and its mention in movies,
television, and print as well as on the Internet results in
millions of people being aware of the organization-to the religious
organization's benefit and detriment. The book leads with a
background on Scientology and a discussion of science fiction
concepts, pulps, and movies. The next section examines
Scientology's ongoing relationship with the Hollywood elite,
including the group's use of celebrities in its drug rehabilitation
program, and explores movies and television shows that contain
Scientology themes or comedic references. Readers will learn about
how the Internet and the mainstream media of the United States as
well as of Australia, Germany, and the UK have regarded
Scientology. The final section investigates the music and art of
Scientology. Discusses Scientology within the framework of popular
culture, which is how most people outside the religion come in
contact with it Approaches the study of Scientology from multiple
viewpoints, enabling readers to have an informed, multicultural
perspective on the religious group's beliefs and practices from
which to form their own opinion Presents information about
Scientology derived from one of the largest university archive
collections on the subject worldwide, with a number of documents
never before having been referenced in scholarship
