Media Data

Based on a comparative project on media and religion across Denmark, Norway, and Sweden, this article analyzes relationships between religiosity and political attitudes in Scandinavia and how these connect with attitudes regarding the representation of Islam in various media. Data comes from population-wide surveys conducted in the three countries in April 2015. Most Scandinavians relate ‘religion’ with conflict, and half of the population perceives Islam as a threat to their national culture. Scandinavians thus perceive religion in terms of political tensions and predominantly feel that news media should serve a critical function towards Islam and religious conflicts. Finally, the results of the empirical analysis are discussed in view of the intertwined processes of politicization of Islam and mediatization of religion.

AbstractThe major claim of this paper concerns the following question: 'Do the religious tools and symbols presented in the media lose their holiness at the time when they are being represented in the media?' To answer this question I propose that we should consider the media as a new creation of text for religion. Of course, we have to consider the capacities and meaning of media and religion when it arrives in the media. In other words, we should accept that the level of discourse and function of the media (whether religious or other types of media) in presenting a religious ceremony directed towards a series of spiritual values, and occasionally the values which are shown on the screens or through T.V. programmes are not the same as a religious ceremony performed outside the media area as, for example, in a mosque. Two main phenomena are important in each religious ceremony: sacred space and sacred time. It seems that in media these two are lost by the new atmosphere of the media. In this article we consider what is the religious media, and the traits and the nature of religious media. In order to discuss this concept, importance is put on three main concepts in the media. We try to say that media could present a new possibility and present religious experience for its audiences. Many of the ideas of Hoover and Eliade, even ones not mentioned in this study, are important for the study.

Abstract The persistence of religion in the twenty-first century has renewed the importance of scholarships devoted to it. At the same time, the digital age has re-positioned and recentered the affordances of mediated circulations around "the religious." This increasing presence and significance of media and religion suggests that substantive scholarships of religion must necessarily articulate media as well. Religious controversies therefore present a special challenge and a special opportunity to scholarships of media and religion. New ways of doing scholarship, and doing so publicly, present themselves. All scholarships of mediated religion must necessarily be public, so scholarship is articulated into these circulations, and at the same time can build on and benefit from knowledge-building that occurs outside the formal boundaries of the academy. This paper explores emerging theories of digital mediation and proposes a circulation-focused understanding of the role, place, and potentials of scholarships today.

Moral identity theory and research emerged in the early 1980s and the field has grown ever since. In this chapter, the authors begin by reviewing the history of work on moral identity. They provide a framework for thinking about moral identity grounded in McAdams’s three levels of personality: traits, characteristic adaptations, and live narratives. Then the authors review research on moral identity development across the life span at these three levels of personality. Next, they review work on contexts of moral identity development, based on Bronfenbrenner’s ecological model: family, peers, schools, communities, cultures, media, and religion. Last, the authors outline five questions for future research.
