DESCRIPTION:Guest lecture by Raoof Mir (Göttingen/New Delhi)\n\nThe gues
 t lecture presents a study that looks at the ways in which media and relig
 ion intersect in the spaces of social\, political and cultural practices i
 n the Muslim majority region of Kashmir Valley. By interpreting the existi
 ng literature on the history of Islam in Kashmir Valley through a communic
 ation perspective\, the study argues that that each form of media has cont
 ributed to the shaping of Islamic traditions in Kashmir Valley in distinct
 ive ways. The initial purpose of the study therefore is therefore to look 
 at the communication forms such as orality and literacy and their interpla
 y with Islamic traditions in Kashmir Valley. Later\, in order to explain h
 ow new media technologies such as print\, television\, cassettes and compu
 ter mediated technologies have contributed to articulation of new forms of
  religiosities\, this study takes an ethnographic turn by looking at the w
 ays in which Muslims individuals or Muslims groups in Kashmir use these me
 dia technologies to construct religious meanings.\n
