Recenzii
A phenomenal example of the masterful interweaving of the sociological study of religion with the ever-transforming world of digital technology, which makes it a must read for those interested in those subjects that fall within or between these two categories.
This volume is both a practical guide as well as a theoretical one, and encourages further research and conversation in the area of digital methods, ethics, and ethnographies. Digital Methodologies would be valuable not only to those whose research takes place in digital domains, but also as a helpful guide in distinguishing new from traditional methodologies, or to promote the use of new technologies and approaches in seminars or even the classroom. As a digital researcher, I found it timely, useful, and insightful.
This book is an essential resource for anyone thinking about using digital technologies in the social study of religious belief and non-belief. It should be on the reading lists of every research methods course and every course in the sociology of religion.
A practical handbook for digital methods and methodologies, and a wide ranging exploration of belief and faith communities-socially and digitally. From crowdsourcing to apps, this book demonstrates that digital methodologies are not just about doing research digitally, they are about understanding the social and the digital as one-digital contexts as well as digital methods, social media as a means and a lens, and the ethical challenges that inevitably arise. At once accessible and thought provoking, this book is set to be an effective platform for teaching and a rich basis for future research in the sociology of belief communities.
Digital Methodologies manages to be the rarest of methodology books: practical, focused, and filled with meaty case studies, making it useful to junior and senior scholars alike. The burgeoning study of digital religion-born from within so many disciplines-lacked the cohesiveness necessary for moving a research agenda forward. This book brings order to that chaos and establishes best practices, whether the research is honed on religious digital communication, virtual realities, social media or digital ethnography.
