New SIGNIS Media (1/2007): Spirituality and Popular Culture
Brussels, April 10, 2007 (SIGNIS) - This issue of SIGNIS Media shows that popular media culture actually contains its own spiritual elements, however divorced these may be from conventional religion.
In much of the world today, spirituality has become divorced from religion. In Europe adherence to organised religion continues to fall, but interest in spiritual matters seems to be on the increase. In films, television series, videos, DVDs, books, comics, computer games and the Internet, the world of the imagination is peopled with gods and demons, wizards and witches, angels, ghosts, vampires, saviours, messiahs and mythical heroes. These entertainment programmes with their own ‘mythologies’ may be successful because they seem to respond to the feeling that traditional religion has become more preoccupied with morality than the spiritual quest.
Also in this issue: Berlin and Ouagadougou film festivals, Catholic TV and community radio news, etc.
