The book provides sociological perspectives on religion while introducing students to relevant research from interdisciplinary scholarship.
Organized around essential topics and real-life issues, this unique text examines religion both as an object of sociological analysis as well as a device for seeking personal meaning in life. As a result, students actively engage in the discovery, learning, and analytical processes as they progress through the text.
Using a lively narrative, The Sociology of Religion is an insightful text that investigates the facts of religion in all its great diversity, including its practices and beliefs, and then analyzes actual examples of religious developments using relevant conceptual frameworks. Communication is seen not only as a transfer of information, but also as the activation of a psychosocial relationship, the process by which interlocutors co-construct an area of reality. The implications of these changes for current research in communication studies are also considered, with particular reference to the role of context, the link between cognition and interaction, and the use of interlocutory models as paradigms of communicative interaction. The 3 psychosocial roots of the process by which interaction between users is constructed - networked reality, virtual conversation, and identity construction - are discussed. Then a framework is outlined for the study of computer-mediated communication. In this article, these changes are described. The 1st effect of this influence is the revolution in the metaphors used to describe communication. Social scientists are increasingly interested in understanding the characteristics of computer-mediated communication and its effects on people, groups, and organizations.
