Recenzii
"In this clearly written and highly engaging new book, Johanna Sumiala offers a refreshing and sophisticated new take on the links between media and ritual. She draws on both media studies and the latest sociology of religion to analyse a fascinating range of recent examples, from Michael Jackson's death to school shootings. Her book is sure to be an important text in this expanding area of media studies." - Nick Couldry, Goldsmiths, University of London, UK
"This book will be an important contribution to the literature, synthesizing classic social theory, critical perspectives, and contemporary concerns. Through analysis of case studies of violence, death, community, celebrity, and ceremony in media representations and audience reception, Sumiala pursues a unique perspective on ritual as a key to successful social life in our contemporary situation. As such, ritual is also a key to achieving anthropologically informed understanding of media and society at large. The book should be of interest to students and scholars in communication, media, and cultural studies, media anthropology, and religious studies." - Eric W. Rothenbuhler, Scripps College of Communication, USA
"For scholars of religious studies, this work proves interesting in several ways. Grappling with theorists so well known and reviewed in the field brings the work clearly into the arena of ritual or religious studies. Her work with ritual theory and particularly with civic or national rituals is of particular interest, especially when supported by the work of Anderson, Grimes, and others... The case studies of recent media coverage of national tragedies as primary sources help to further elucidate the complex ties among death, ritual, media, and the community that are well-known (or perhaps not, in this newer context) to scholars of religion. Even those who are not students of religion can find significance in Sumiala’s discussions of the fear of death or being alone, the shocking nature of public death, and the mourning rituals of a community or a nation." - Emily R. Stewart, University of Pittsburgh, USA, in Religion
