Religion and Social Communication in Asia: Research Challenges A Roundtable organized by the Asian Reserch Center for Religion and Social Communication (ARC) at St. John's University, Bangkok October 17 to 20, 2011
Religion and Social Communication in Asian Cultures and Societies is a field which has hardly been touched by academic Research.. This 4th Roundtable of the ARC wants to look deeper into this need and
possibilities:
- How does Religion influence the communication of and in Asian societies?
- What are traditional communicative expressions in and of Asian Religions?
- Is religious communication in Asian Religions changed through modern technologies (Media/New Media)? How?
- What are the different communicative means used by Religions traditionally and in modern times? How are they adjusted, when and where? Who are their recipients?
- Are the ways of sharing religious experiences and content today different from the Past and with what consequences?
- How are religious convictions and messages communicated to members of the same Religion and to other people?
- Does religious communication change humans and political situations of people? Does Religious Communication contribute to the daily lives of people and how?
- How can Social Communication contribute to Inter-Religious Dialogue and mutual understanding?
These are only some of the areas and developments which could constitute special Challenges for studies and research on Religion and Social Communication.
The Center itself sees its main activities in the following three broad fields:
1. Communication within Religions
2. Religion and Communication in Society 3. Religion and social Communication in Cultures
