Since its inception, the internet has been theorized as a democratic force, a public sphere in which hierarchies are flattened. But the internet is not a neutral tool; it has the power to amplify and mirror certain opinions and, as a result, can concretize social norms. So what happens when matters of religious practice and gender identity collide in these—often unregulated—online spaces?In Keeping Women in Their Digital Place, Ruth Tsuria explores how Orthodox Jewish communities in the United States and Israel have used “digital enclaves”—online safe havens created specifically for their denominations—to renegotiate traditional values in the face of taboo discourse encountered online. Combining a personal narrative with years of qualitative analysis, Tsuria examines how discussions in blogs and forums and on social media navigate issues of modesty, dating, marriage, intimacy, motherhood, and feminism. Unpacking the complexity of religious uses of the internet, Tsuria shows how the participatory qualities of digital spaces have been used both to challenge accepted norms and—more pervasively—to reinforce traditional and even extreme attitudes toward gender and sexuality.Original and engaging, this book will appeal to media, feminist, and religious studies scholars and students, particularly those interested in religion in the digital age and Orthodox Jewish communities.

How does AI represent various religious traditions? What kind of impact will AI have on how we pray, engage in ritual, believe or come together in community? These are some of the questions explored in this future-looking book.Bringing together various theoretical and empirical perspectives on religion and AI, the book investigates the impact and promise of AI for religious institutions, communities, and individuals, as well as the role AI might play in the representation of religion.The theory-based chapters reflect on how a selected theory, such as mediatization or transhumanism, explains AI and predicts religious attitudes and uses of AI. The empirical cases supply real-world examples of religious uses of AI, including the use of robot priests and AI-made interpretations of the Quran or the Talmud.The final section includes reflective, future-oriented, essay from the editors in conversation with AI, approaching religion and AI from three perspectives: sociology of religion, media studies, and visual arts. Therefore, the book provides an in-depth, thought-provoking, analysis of our contemporary area from an interdisciplinary perspective.Together, the book is a comprehensive look into uses, understandings, narratives, and projections of the relationship between religion and AI.

This special volume of Emerald Studies in Media and Communications is entitled Media and Power in International Contexts: Perspectives on Agency and Identity. Scholars of communication, media studies, sociology, and cultural studies come together to examine axioms of power at play across different forms of cultural production. Contributing to these fields, the volume highlights the value of interdisciplinary work and international perspectives to enrich our understandings of agency and identity vis-a-vis key case studies of media consumption and production. International contributions shed new light on the complex ways in which media reinforce and reflect power in different societal and national arenas. The result is a rich interdisciplinary and multi-method exploration of how power is conceptualized and realized through a variety of hegemonic and discursive practices. The authors’ analysis of critical case studies makes important progress towards closing theoretical gaps concerning the study of the complex relationships between media and gender, race, ethnicity, and national identity. In so doing, the volume contributes phenomenological and epistemic knowledge of media and power across disciplines and societal contexts.
