	abstract = {This article considers recent changes in the definition of religion and of media as the basis for framing the study of their relation to one another and recent research in the intersection they have come to form over the last two decades or so. The history, materiality, and reception of each have colored scholarly work, and made ethnography, practice, material culture, and embodiment key aspects of scholarship. A new paradigm for some scholars for studying mediation is aesthetics{\textemdash}no longer understood as the {\textquotedblleft}philosophy of the beautiful,{\textquotedblright} but as the study of perception in the mediated practices that make up lived religion.

	title = {Mediation or mediatisation: The history of media in the study of religion},
	journal = {Culture and Religion},
	year = {2011},
	abstract = {Several different accounts of {\textquoteleft}mediatisation{\textquoteright} and {\textquoteleft}mediation{\textquoteright} circulate in the literature of media studies. This paper begins with a parsing of them, considering their conceptual distinctions and similarities. The argument developed here is for a general theory of mediation and a more particular view of mediatisation. Although developing a critical assessment of a prevailing notion of mediatisation, the paper does not dismiss it, but regards it as exhibiting a limited usefulness. In order to make its case, the paper relies on the case study of Evangelical ephemeral print in Britain circa 1800, examining the production and circulation of tracts in order to show that arguments for mediatisation need to be strongly qualified by historical evidence. Greater reliance on historical precedents will strengthen studies of mediatisation by chastening the often exorbitant and ahistorical claims made for it.},

	title = {Religion and Material Culture: The Matter of Belief},
	year = {2009},
	publisher = {Routledge},
	organization = {Routledge},
	abstract = {Religious belief is rooted in and sustained by material practice, and this book provides an extraordinary insight into how it works on the ground. David Morgan has brought together a lively group of writers from religious studies, anthropology, history of art, and other disciplines, to investigate belief in everyday practices; in the objects, images, and spaces of religious devotion and in the sensations and feelings that are the medium of experience. By avoiding mind/body dualism, the study of religion can break new ground by examining embodiment, sensation, space, and performance.

Materializing belief means taking a close look at what people do, how they feel, the objects they exchange and display, and the spaces in which they perform whether spontaneously or with scripted ceremony. Contributions to the volume examine religions around the world{\textemdash}from Korea and Brazil to North America, Europe, and Africa. Belief is explored in a wealth of contexts, including Tibetan Buddhism, the hajj, American suburbia and the world of dreams, visions and UFOs.},

	abstract = {{\textquoteright}From The Passion of the Christ to the presumed {\textquoteright}clash of civilizations{\textquoteright}, religion{\textquoteright}s role in culture is increasingly contested and mediated. Key Words in Religion, Media, and Culture is a welcome and interdisciplinary contribution that maps the territory for those who aim to make sense of it all. Highlighting the important concepts guiding state-of-the-art research into religion, media, and culture, this book is bound to become an important and frequently consulted resource among scholars both seasoned and new to the field.{\textquoteright} {\textendash}Lynn Schofield Clark

{\textquoteright}David Morgan has assembled here a fine team of scholars to prove beyond a doubt that the intersections of religion, media, and culture constitute one of the most stimulating fields of inquiry around today...This highly useful and theoretically sophisticated text will likely assume {\textquoteright}ritual{\textquoteright} status in this emergent field.{\textquoteright} {\textendash} Rosalind I. J. Hackett, University of Tennessee, US

{\textquoteright}This volume is a major intervention in the literature on religion, media and culture. Drawing together leading international scholars, it offers a conceptual map of the field to which students, teachers and researchers will refer for many years to come. The publication of Key Words in Religion, Media and Culture is a significant moment in the formation of this area of study, and sets a standard for cross-disciplinary collaboration and theoretical and methodological sophistication for future work in this area to follow.{\textquoteright} {\textendash} Gordon Lynch, Birkbeck College, University of London, UK},
