The Third Spaces of Digital Religion


Book Description

This exciting volume explores how religious meaning is generated and performed in our present digital media ecosystem. It uses the spatial metaphor of a third space to visualize the mobility of everyday religion and to explore the dynamic ways in which contemporary subjects imagine, produce, and navigate new religious and spiritual places. Comprised of seven original essays, this book provides a rigorous discussion of the complex intersections of the digital and religion, demonstrating how third spaces of religion stand out by virtue of their in-betweenness. They exist between private and public, between institution and individual, between authority and individual autonomy, between large media framings and individual "pro-sumption," and between local and translocal. Including probing analysis of how Muslim, Catholic, and Neo-Pagan identities are cultivated and developed online, case studies reflect on the creative outcomes of this condition of in-betweenness and the emergence of other places of religious and spiritual meaning. Blending theoretical analysis with grounded empirical research, this book is essential reading for students and scholars of contemporary religion, media and religion, sociology of religion, religion, and popular culture.

Organizational Dignity and Evidence-Based Management


Book Description

This book discusses dignity in the organizational context. Combining diverse theoretical and methodological approaches, as well as empirical studies, this book examines the concept of dignity between organizations and a variety of stakeholders. Going beyond the traditional approach of the relationship between company and employees, and beyond the traditional perspective of human dignity in a Kantian or post-Kantian approach, this volume innovates by discussing dignity from different epistemic perspectives, bringing to the fore dignity, inserted in different organizational and cultural contexts. The volume is divided into five parts. The first part is dedicated to the concept of dignity in the organizational sphere (dignity inside organizations, dignity between organizations and their stakeholders, and dignity in business-to-business relationships) discussed under different epistemic approaches. The second part deals with dignity in the relationships between companies and employees. The third part deals with the relationship between companies and clients. The fourth part of the book studies business-to-business relationships, addressing the educational sector, restaurants, and microcredit. Finally, the fifth part focuses on the relationships between the organizational dignity construct and other constructs, such as stress, spirituality and trust. Opening new theoretical and methodological perspectives for the study of dignity, this book will be of use to researchers and students studying management, leadership, and business strategy, as well as management and HR professionals.




Por que a Ciencia e a Fe Caminham Juntas


Book Description

Na medida em que tentamos compreender a nós mesmas/os e o mundo em que vivemos, muitas vezes olhamos primeiro para a ciência - e depois, se ainda há lacunas em nosso entendimento, tentamos preencher as lacunas com referência a Deus e nossa fé. Tal abordagem que chamamos de "o deus das lacunas" tem uma longa história e, infelizmente, está viva e bem viva hoje. Este livro foi escrito para oferecer uma abordagem alternativa, colocando esta questão básica: Como as/os cristãs/ãos com educação formal podem manter sua honestidade intelectual e, ao mesmo tempo, ser fiéis tanto à Escritura quanto à ciência? Este livro fornece exemplos de algumas das mais vivas questões "ciência vs. fé" de hoje e sugere maneiras de pensar construtivamente sobre cada uma delas.
