Lab Media and Religion
The Media and Religion Lab is concerned with the interrelation between media and religions and their transformation. Thereby the perspective is a dual one: On the one hand side current as well as religious discourses and their authorities are shaped by media. On the other hand side religious practices are always also media practices and religious identities are always media identities likewise. So, actors respectively groups present, discuss and organise their religious perceptions through diverse media (books, pictures, videos, virtual worlds etc.). In this sense religion is a mediatized phenomenon that is necessary to be analyzed in respect of issues of media communication that accompany them.
