    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by OpenGrey Repository The Production of Religious Broadcasting: The Case of the BBC Caitriona Noonan A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. Centre for Cultural Policy Research Department of Theatre, Film and Television University of Glasgow Glasgow G12 8QQ December 2008 © Caitriona Noonan, 2008 Abstract This thesis examines the way in which media professionals negotiate the occupational challenges related to television and radio production. It has used the subject of religion and its treatment within the BBC as a microcosm to unpack some of the dilemmas of contemporary broadcasting. In recent years religious programmes have evolved in both form and content leading to what some observers claim is a “renaissance” in religious broadcasting. However, any claims of a renaissance have to be balanced against the complex institutional and commercial constraints that challenge its long-term viability. This research finds that despite the BBC’s public commitment to covering a religious brief, producers in this style of programming are subject to many of the same competitive forces as those in other areas of production. Furthermore those producers who work in-house within the BBC’s Department of Religion and Ethics believe that in practice they are being increasingly undermined through the internal culture of the Corporation and the strategic decisions it has adopted. This is not an intentional snub by the BBC but a product of the pressure the Corporation finds itself under in an increasingly competitive broadcasting ecology, hence the removal of the protection once afforded to both the department and the output.

    Note: Last Updated on 4/20/2014 45.348 Eastern Philosophy and Religion (GEN ED AHED) Dharma and Dao in South and East Asia Spring Semester 2014 TU TH 12:30pm-1:45pm Professor Eric S. Nelson Email: Eric_Nelson at uml.edu Office: Dugan Hall 200F Telephone: 978-934-3996 Spring Office Hours: T TH 11:30 am-12:30, 2:00-3:15 pm, and by appointment Homepage: http://faculty.uml.edu/enelson/index.html DESCRIPTION In this course, we will explore the early classical philosophical and religious traditions of China, India, Tibet, Japan, and Korea. We will discuss selected works on truth, wisdom, liberation, yogic discipline, spiritual devotion, and liberation, awakening, and enlightenment in Hindu and non-Hindu thought in India as well as works on wisdom, virtue, self-cultivation, ritual propriety, nature, and wandering free and at ease in Confucian and Daoist thought in China. Some of the issues that we will examine are the roles of emptiness, language, and nature in Buddhism and Daoism; the debate between "orthodox" (āstika) and "unorthodox" (nāstika) movements in India: arguments for and against moral, natural, and other conceptions of human life in China; and the significance of virtuous action, ritual, and duty in Hinduism and Confucianism. After investigating interpretations of Dharma in Indian thought and Dao (Tao) in Chinese thought, we will consider Buddhist and Confucian philosophical writings from Korea and Japan. Prerequisites for the course: None Students for whom course is intended: All levels Course Goals and Objectives 1. The goals of this course are to promote: (a) Familiarity with a wide-range of positions and arguments in South and East Asian thought since antiquity, and (b) Interdisciplinary and critical reasoning and reflection through considering a variety of cultural-historical, philosophical, and religious issues and approaches.

  • What Future for the Church?
    What Future for the Church? A Lent Address Given in Collegiate Parish Church of St Mary by The Revd Dr Vaughan S Roberts Isaiah 43: 14-21; Luke 5: 27-39 When our five speakers for the 2013 Lent Addresses were invited to explore: What future for the Church? they (and we!) couldn’t have known how relevant that question would be. The addresses have concluded in a week that has seen the inauguration of a new Pope and installation of a new Archbishop of Canterbury. The worldwide Church in its Latin and Anglican forms has certainly been under the media microscope as people have speculated, prognosticated and investigated where the Church is and what the appointment of Pope Francis and Archbishop Justin might mean for the future. In that respect, our first address from Professor Elaine Graham, a leading thinker in how theology relates to the public square, provided a helpful basis for the series. In her introduction she observed that: ‘Religion is both more visible and invisible: both more publicly prominent and more vicarious; more elusive institutionally (and intellectually, theologically), and yet more cited, more pervasive. So this new dispensation represents significant challenges to existing assumptions about the way religious voices are mediated into public spaces.’ She went onto to assert that Western culture is no longer Christian and it’s no longer ‘secular’ either. A process of religious change has taken place, which in the past would have been called secularization. But with the re- emergence of many different forms of religious self-expression (what some sociologists call the re-enchantment of society) the older terms such as ‘secular’ and ‘secularization’ no longer do justice to where Western culture is now.

  • Faith, Morality and the Media
    Annual Lecture 2008 Faith, morality and the media by Mark Thompson foreword by Jeremy Vine what Theos is Theos is a public theology think tank which exists to undertake research and provide commentary on social and political arrangements. We aim to impact opinion around issues of faith and belief in society. We were launched in November 2006 with the support of the Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr Rowan Williams, and the Cardinal Archbishop of Westminster, Cardinal Cormac Murphy-O'Connor. Our first report "Doing God": A Future for Faith in the Public Square examined the reasons why faith will play an increasingly significant role in public life. what Theos stands for Society is embarking on a process of de-secularisation. Interest in spirituality is increasing across Western culture. Faith is on the agenda of both government and the media. In the arts, humanities and social sciences there are important intellectual developments currently taking place around questions of values and identity. Theos speaks into this new context. Our perspective is that faith is not just important for human flourishing and the renewal of society, but that society can only truly flourish if faith is given the space to do so. We reject notions of a sacred-secular divide. what Theos works on Theos undertakes research across a wide range of subject areas. We analyse social and political change and offer interesting new angles and alternative perspectives on the issues that matter. what Theos provides Theos provides: • a research and publishing programme, • conferences, seminars and lectures, • outreach to university, college and school students, • news, information and analysis to media companies and other opinion formers, with a one-stop information line available to journalists, • regular email bulletins, • other related activities.

  • Bertalan Pusztai Religious Tourists
    Copyright © , by University of Jyväskylä ABSTRACT Pusztai, Bertalan Religious Tourists. Constructing Authentic Experiences in Late Modern Hungarian Catholicism Jyväskylä: University of Jyväskylä, 2004, 256 p. (Jyväskylä Studies in Humanities ISSN 1459-4331; 27) ISBN 951-39-1990-0 Finnish and Hungarian summary Diss. This study deals with the subject of religious tourists. It therefore focuses on a group created from without: for even if religious tourism exists — as many doubt — we never find anyone professing to be a religious tourist. The subjects of this study identify themselves mostly as tourists or pilgrims, but never as ‘religious tourists’. To the public mind, the subjects of this study are not pilgrims but tourists if we are talking of ‘pilgrimage’ as such, and they are not tourists but pilgrims if we are talking of ‘tourism’ as such. From an academic point of view religious tourists are group travellers with religious motives making use of the services of professional travel organisers. Understood in this way, religious tourists as a group exist; indeed they are quite numerous and are present in all world religions. However, because of the powerful concepts which lie behind the terms ‘tourist’ and ‘pilgrim’, they are rarely perceived or examined. The Hungarian religious tourist constitutes the subject of this investigation. I wish to present a ‘locality’ of contemporary Hungarian society, a pilgrim travel agency and its denizens, the travellers. This locality is both extraordinarily new, sporadically occupied (used only occasionally by individuals) and part of a multi-layered supra- national system. This study focuses on the travellers. I am interested in how they interpret the places they visit.

    Snow & Mountain Titles Spring 2020 {IPG} High Drama The Rise, Fall, and Rebirth of American Competition Climbing John Burgman, Kynan Waggoner Summary One afternoon in 1987, two renegade climbers in Berkeley, California, hatched an ambitious plan: under the cover of darkness, they would rappel down from a carefully scouted highway on-ramp, gluing artificial handholds onto the load-bearing concrete pillars underneath. Equipped with ingenuity, strong adhesive, and an urban guerilla attitude, Jim Thornburg and Scott Frye created a serviceable climbing wall. But what they were part of was a greater development: the expansion and reimagining of a sport now slated for a highly anticipated Olympic debut in 2020. Triumph Books High Drama explores rock climbing's transformation from a pursuit of select anti-establishment vagabonds to 9781629377759 a sport embraced by competitors of all ages, social classes, and backgrounds.
