Mediatization and Religion: Nordic Perspectives

摘要

Stig Hjarvard and Mia Loevheim's edited collection brings together contributions emerging from the Nordic Research Network on the Mediatization of Religion and Culture (2006-2010). As the title suggests, the volume has a regional focus and seeks to elucidate contemporary developments in the area of mediatized religion in Nordic countries, while also engaging with wider international debates on the topic. Apart from a common regional focus, several chapters also share a theoretical framework, centred on the concept of 'mediatization' as a novel way of understanding the relationship between the media and religion.
