| Publisher Description: The deep anchored interaction of religion and media - both historically and functionally - influences the diffusion of religious worldviews, practices, organisations, and values in society in multi-layered, and non-homogeneous ways. The volume is engaging with the term 'imaginary' because we are looking for the possibility of capturing in a theoretical framework the diffusion of religious symbols and discourses within different spheres of society and in public space. Can the imaginary serve as a theoretical framework to understand the widespread, heterogeneous references to religious symbols, worldviews, values and norms in plural society? |
