Part of the Routledge Advances in Television Studies series
See all formats and editions

  • This book is a fascinating exploration into where discussion and deliberation of religious and spiritual concerns takes place as participation in traditional religion declines
  • It explores how the complex and fantastical worlds of speculative television have become the place where theological questions and issues are now negotiated, understood, and formed
  • It examines how shows such as Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Westworld invite their viewers and fans to engage with and imagine concepts traditionally reserved for religious spaces
  • The book is informed by recent trends in both fan studies and religious studies, and with an emphasis on practice as well as belief
  • It will resonate with scholars and upper-level students in the areas of religion, television studies, popular culture, fan studies, media studies, and philosophy
