INTRODUCTIONS TO DIGITAL HUMANITIES - RELIGION ...

Building from a range of essays representing multiple fields of expertise and traversing
multiple religious traditions  this important text provides analytic rigor to a question now
pressing the academic study of religion: what is the relationship between the material and the
digital? Its chapters address a range of processes of mediation between the digital and the
material from a variety of perspectives and sub-disciplines within the field of religion in
order to theorize the implications of these two turns in scholarship  offer case studies in
methodology  and reflect on various tools and processes. Authors attend to religious practices
and the internet  digital archives of religion  decolonization  embodiment  digitization of
religious artefacts and objects  and the ways in which varied relationships between the digital
and the material shape religious life. Collectively  the volume demonstrates opportunities and
challenges at the intersection of digital humanities and material religion. Rather than
defining the bounds of a new field of inquiry  the essays make a compelling case  collectively
and on their own  for the interpretive scrutiny required of the humanities in the digital age.
