DESCRIPTION:Guest Lecture by Victor Khroul (Moscow/Bochum)\n\nExamining th
 e 'digital' as a challenge to one of the most traditional sphere of privat
 e and public life of Russians\, the lecture is focused on institutional as
 pects of the religion digitalization in the theoretical frame of mediatiza
 tion. Normatively\, digitalization as such does not contradict the dogmati
 c teaching of any traditional for Russia religion\, in Christianity\, Juda
 ism\, Islam and Buddhism theologically it is being considered as a neutral
  process with good or bad consequences depending on human will. Therefore 
 functionally digital technologies are seen by religious institutions as a 
 shaping force\, one more facility (channel\, tool\, space\, network) for e
 ffective preaching. The distinction between 'religion online' and 'online 
 religion' evidently shows the domination – in terms of quantity and qual
 ity – of ‘religion online’ with packaging old content into new forma
 ts and adjusting it up to new channels and platforms while the core of rel
 igious practices still remains based on non-mediated interpersonal communi
 cation.
