Overview

Auf der Grundlage von umfangreicher ethnografischer Feldforschung in Grossbritannien, den USA und Belgien sowie der Analyse einer Vielzahl digitaler Quellen stellt dieser Band das Digitale und die Diaspora als getrennte, aber miteinander verflochtene Grenzraume dar, in denen religioser Wandel zu erwarten ist. Der Band beruhrt eine Vielzahl von Aspekten der sozioreligiosen Erfahrung und Praxis der Jains und schafft es, die Vielfalt jainistischer Erfahrungen und Praktiken in der Diaspora zu beleuchten. Er unterstreicht die verschiedenen Rollen, die digitale Medien bei der individuellen Religiositat und Identitatsbildung, beim Aufbau von Gemeinschaften und bei der Verbreitung traditioneller wie auch innovativer Ideen spielen konnen. English summary Drawing on extensive ethnographic fieldwork in the UK, US and Belgium, and analysis of a variety of digital sources, this volume presents the digital and the diaspora as separate but intertwined frontiers where religious change is to be expected. The volume touches on a variety of aspects of Jain socio-religious experience and practice and manages to shed light on the diversity of Jain experiences and practices in the diaspora. The author underscores the diverse roles that digital media can play in individual religiosity and identity formation, community building, and the dissemination of traditional as well as innovative ideas.
