Zusammenfassung
Missionare treten als Reality Show Stars auf, polygame Familien geben Einblick in ihren Alltag, religiöse Ehepaare präsentieren in einem Fernsehspot ihr erfolgreiches Leben und ihren Glauben. Anhand zahlreicher Beispiele zeigt «Mormon Lifestyles. Communicating Religion and Ethics in Documentary Media» wie dokumentarische Medien die öffentliche Wahrnehmung von Religion grundlegend beeinflussen. Denn religiöse Zugehörigkeit wird im medialen Feld zum Ausdruck eines bestimmten Lifestyles. Das Buch erklärt mit Blick auf das global verbreitete Mormonentum, wie dokumentarische Medien - auch innerhalb des digitalen und ethischen Raums - Religion mit spezifischen Mitteln und zu unterschiedlichen Zwecken thematisieren und verändern.
