	abstract = {This article explores how the design of sacred spaces and ritual performance are transformed in the move from offline to online contexts. A semiotic analysis of two websites{\textemdash}a Christian Virtual Church and a Hindu Virtual Temple{\textemdash}suggests the potential for demarcating distinct online sacred spaces, in a Durkheimian sense, in which devotees can engage in ritual activity. The article focuses on the performance of cyberpuja in the Virtual Temple and the posting of prayers in the Virtual Church. Interviews with the Web designers and an analysis of the sites suggest that the virtual is primarily conceived in terms of a simulation of the "real." Consequently these sites are envisaged in terms of conventional notions of sacred space and ritual performance, rather than as something radically new.},

	abstract = {New media forms have a range of implications for the way in which the Hindu community is conceived and Hinduism is practiced. Oral modes of communication continue to have a significant role in the communication of Hinduism, however, Hindus have also made effective, and often innovative, use of all media forms. The use of print made by Hindu reformers, such as Rammohun Roy, was an important feature in the conceptualization of Hinduism as a {\textquoteleft}world religion{\textquoteright}. Print technology also made possible the proliferation of visual images, which have now become incorporated into the devotional practices of many Hindus. Hindus have also developed unique genres in film and television, drawing on the rich narrative traditions of Hindu mythology. Hinduism can also be found in cyberspace. Online dar{\'s}an, online puj{\={a}} services and other uses of the Internet have enabled Hindus, both in India and in diaspora, to maintain a connection with gurus, sacred places and other aspects of tradition. These developments in communication technologies are important in understanding Hinduism today, and the way in which it has evolved in a global context.},

Specifically, referring to a US demographic, we analyzed five data sets from Web search engine, collected between 1997 and 2005, of over a million queries each in order to investigate religious searching on the Web. Results point to four key findings. First, there is no evidence of a decrease in religious Web-searching behaviors. Religious interest is a persistent topic of Web searching. Second, those seeking religious information on the Web are becoming slightly more interactive in their searching. Third, there is no evidence for a move away from mainstream religions toward non-mainstream religions since the majority of the search terms are associated with established religions. Fourth, our work does not support the hypothesis that traditional religious affiliation is associated with lower adoption of or sophistication with technology. These factors point to the Web as a potentially usefully communication medium for a variety of religious organizations.},

	abstract = {Convergence Culture maps a new territory: where old and new media intersect, where grassroots and corporate media collide, where the power of the media producer and the power of the consumer interact in unpredictable ways.

Henry Jenkins, one of America{\textquoteright}s most respected media analysts, delves beneath the new media hype to uncover the important cultural transformations that are taking place as media converge. He takes us into the secret world of Survivor Spoilers, where avid internet users pool their knowledge to unearth the show{\textquoteright}s secrets before they are revealed on the air. He introduces us to young Harry Potter fans who are writing their own Hogwarts tales while executives at Warner Brothers struggle for control of their franchise. He shows us how The Matrix has pushed transmedia storytelling to new levels, creating a fictional world where consumers track down bits of the story across multiple media channels.Jenkins argues that struggles over convergence will redefine the face of American popular culture. Industry leaders see opportunities to direct content across many channels to increase revenue and broaden markets. At the same time, consumers envision a liberated public sphere, free of network controls, in a decentralized media environment. Sometimes corporate and grassroots efforts reinforce each other, creating closer, more rewarding relations between media producers and consumers. Sometimes these two forces are at war.

Jenkins provides a riveting introduction to the world where every story gets told and every brand gets sold across multiple media platforms. He explains the cultural shift that is occurring as consumers fight for control across disparate channels, changing the way we do business, elect our leaders, and educate our children.},

Instead, the viewer sees the advertisements as a hypostasis of the immersion in music. This mode of seeing deflects attention from Apple{\textquoteright}s ideological gain and invites viewer participation in a cult celebrating the immersive experience. In short, the ads construct a visual enthymeme whose missing element is the user. By participating in the ritual of seeing through symbolic realism and thereby completing the enthymeme, the iPod is transformed into my iCon, bestowing the commodity, and by extension the corporation, with cult value.},

While society at large often takes it for granted that monks are out of modernity, monastic communities have been adopted this media from relatively early on, and we cannot say that they have come late to its use. The internet can offer monasteries a lot of advantages because it allows monks to be in the world without going out of the cloister. Nevertheless, the introduction of this new media in monasteries also raises a lot of questions about the potential contradictions it poses with other aspects of monastic life.

The paper does not deal with online religious practices, but seeks to research the use of the medium by monks and nuns even in their daily lives, and  attempts especially to investigate the potential changes it brings to monastic life.

Taking the examples of asceticism of religious virtuosi with Catholic monks and nuns, Christian Lent and fasting and hiking weeks that are part of a holistic spirituality approach, this article shows with the help of empiric data how actors consciously reduce their use of the Internet for religious purposes. Some even speak of an Internet fast which would be an indispensable counterpart to the food fast. However, in many cases, disconnection appears to be more difficult than food fasting and is then seen as a new type of virtuosity. Re-examining the classical categories of the sociology of religions that are fasting and asceticism, this article shows how they are redefined today with new objects of application. For the institutional Church, it is also an opportunity to restore plausibility to practices - especially the Lenten fast - which had gradually fallen into disuse.},

	journal = {Journal of Religion, Media and Digital Culture},
	volume = {3},
	year = {2014},
	chapter = {84},
	abstract = {The use of social media presents new religious groups with opportunities to assert themselves in contrast 
to established religious institutions. Intersections of church and cinema form a central part of this 
phenomenon. On one hand, many churches embrace digital media, from Hollywood clips in sermons to 
sermons delivered entirely via video feed. Similarly and overlapping with this use of media, churches in 
cinemas have emerged around the world as a new form of Sunday morning worship. 
This paper investigates intersections of church and cinema through case studies of two representative 
congregations. CityChurch, in W{\"u}rzburg, Germany, is a free evangelical faith community that meets in a 
downtown Cineplex for Sunday worship. LCBC (Lives Changed by Christ) is one of the largest mult-sited megachurches on the American East Coast. While LCBC{\textquoteright}s main campus offers live preaching, 
sermons are digitally streamed to the rest. Both CityChurch and LCBC exemplify growing numbers of 
faith communities that rely on popular musical and social media to 1) redefine local and global religious 
relationships and 2) claim identity as both culturally alternative and spiritually authentic. By engaging with international flows of worship music, films, and viral internet sensations, new media-centered faith communities like CityChurch and LCBC reconfigure established sacred soundscapes. 
CityChurch{\textquoteright}s use of music and media strategically differentiates the congregation from neighboring 
traditional forms of German Christianity while strengthening connections to the imagined global 
evangelical community. LCBC creates what cultural geographer Justin Wilford dubs a {\textquotedblleft}postsuburban 
sacrality{\textquotedblright} that carves out meaning from the banality of strip-mall-stubbed  suburban existence. Analyzing 
the dynamics of music and media in these new worship spaces assumes growing importance as 
transnational music and media choices play an increasingly a central role in locally differentiating 
emergent worship communities from historically hegemonic religious neighbors.
