| Synopsis: |
This is a groundbreaking study into the relationship between forms of spirituality, media and its effect on social reform. This book maps emergent global practices and discourses that interpellate media, social reform and spirituality. The word 'spirituality' has increasing presence, coming to refer to something recontextualized and reimagined outside of the boundaries of formal religion, and attached to everything from consumer goods to the New Age to eco-activism. Key to these processes is the media in their globalized presence and in their penetration of cultures. Media circulate, construct and interpret salient symbols and values from which people can assemble what Peter Jackson (1989) refers to as 'maps of meaning', including deep meanings related to ethics and morality, once considered the exclusive property or currency of religion. The book brings together scholarly perspectives from around the world and across disciplines to explore how these new 'spiritualities' express themselves through and with media - from television to Internet, from fashion to art murals - as socially transforming voices and practices. |
