COMM 4550 - Religion, Politics, & Media
At a time when the resurgence of religious identities, public expression, and action is driving national politics, this course explores, through a media frame, “the return of religion” within the secular consensus of modernity. We examine how various religious groups use media to strategically articulate and institutionalize their political messages, and how media portray religion in relation to the secular world. A central problem is the logic of fundamentalism in relation to mainstream or liberal religion.
