Religion In Cultural Imaginary

The deep anchored interaction of religion and media – both historically and functionally – influences the diffusion of religious worldv.iews, practices, organisations, and values in society in multi-layered, and non-homogeneous ways.
The volume is engaging with the term ‘imaginary’ because we are looking for the possibility of capturing in a theoretical framework the diffusion of religious symbols and discourses within different spheres of society and in public space. Can the imaginary serve as a theoretical framework to understand the widespread, heterogeneous references to religious symbols, worldviews, values and norms in plural society?
