Pünktlich am 15. Mai ist die aktuelle Ausgabe des Journal for Religion, Film and Media erschienen. Sie trägt – passend zum Beginn des 11. Jahres des Bestehens – den Titel: Current Trends in the Study of Religion, Film and Media: Celebrating Ten Years of JRFM
Abstract:
Congratulations, JRFM! With this issue we celebrate the tenth anniversary of the Journal for Religion, Film and Media (JRFM). We use this moment to take stock of current challenges and to consider future developments in the study of religion and media. In its Thematic Section, this issue collects contributions in which scholars involved in the work of the journal explore aspects that they feel are significant for the field at this moment and that may influence its future direction. These include reflections on the challenges of open access publishing, the institutional conditions that shape research on religion, film and media, the opening of the field to non-Western contexts, the role of media in facilitating inter- and transcultural interactions, the importance of studying the role of media for non-religion, and the methodological challenges that need to be considered when researching religion and media. The response by Giulia Evolvi places the articles in the wider context of what she sees as current trends and challenges in the field. The Open Section includes an article by Robert K. Johnston, whose research on theology and film has had a major impact on the study of religion and media.
