Combining analyses of local contexts with insights and methods from the global subfield of digital anthropology, the contributors here recognize the complex ways that in-app and on-ground worlds interact in a wide range of communities and traditions. While some of the case studies emphasize the cultural significance of use in local contexts and relationships to pre-existing knowledge networks and/or non-digital relationships of power, others explore the globalizing and democratizing influences of mobile apps as communication technologies. From Catholic confession apps to Jewish Kaddish assistance apps and Muslim halal food apps, readers will see how religious-themed mobile apps create complex sites for potential new forms of religious expression, worship, discussion, and practices. . 606 $aReligions 606 $aEthnology 606 $aMass media 606 $aCommunication 606 $aTechnology?Sociological aspects 606 $aReligion and sociology 606 $aComparative Religion$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/1A1000 606 $aSocial Anthropology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X12030 606 $aMedia Sociology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X22110 606 $aScience and Technology Studies$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X22270 606 $aSociology of Religion$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X22210 615 0$aReligions. 615 0$aEthnology. 615 0$aMass media. 615 0$aCommunication. 615 0$aTechnology?Sociological aspects. 615 0$aReligion and sociology. 615 14$aComparative Religion. 615 24$aSocial Anthropology. 615 24$aMedia Sociology. 615 24$aScience and Technology Studies. 615 24$aSociology of Religion. 676 $a306.6 702 $aFewkes$b Jacqueline H$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910349541603321 996 $aAnthropological Perspectives on the Religious Uses of Mobile Apps$91917769 997 $aUNINA
