An Information Technology Surrogate for Religion
Contemporary Religion and Popular Culture
The Contemporary Religion and Popular Culture series renews the engagement between religious studies and media studies, anthropology, literary studies, art history, musicology, philosophy, and all manner of high-level systems that undergird the everyday and commercial. Specifically, CRPC looks to upset the traditional approach to such topics by delivering top-grade scholarly material in smaller, more focused, and more digestible chunks, aiming to be the wide-access niche for scholars to further pursue specific avenues of their study that might not be supported elsewhere. The division between high and low culture in Anglo-American environments has gradually become recognized as arbitrary, but discussion and dialogue about the wealth to be found in subgenres of music, within mall culture, through webcomics, by means of baseball sabremetrics, around adolescent fashion, on streaming video, has had a home only on the fringe. From the perspective of religious content and context, CRPC promises serious examination of topics today that will be taken all the more seriously tomorrow.
