The paper analyses the emic conceptualisations of “religious identity” among the users of two online Catholic forums in Poland, dyskusje.katolik.pl and forum.wiara.pl, with the use of computer-mediated discourse analysis (cmda). This study aims to contribute to the debates on online religious identity construction, in particular within heteronomous and/or contentious communities (Abdel-Fadil, 2017; Davidson & Farquhar, 2014; Kimmons et al., 2017). The paper argues that religious identity on the forums has an individual and collective dimension, and that the fillings of the term “religious identity” often involve non-verbatim, covert references to religion and faith, which makes them similar to a division into “us” vs. “them.” It will be argued that the mediatised religious identities of forum users, while flexible and transformable, are also grounded in non-media contexts, for instance a church or a religious community, or a certain understanding of religion and religiosity.
本文运用电脑媒介话语分析(cmda)，分析波兰两个在线天主教论坛dyskusje.katolik.pl和forum.wiara.pl用户对“宗教认同”的主体性概念。本研究旨在促进关于在线宗教身份建构的辩论，特别是在他治和/或有争议的社区内(Abdel-Fadil, 2017;Davidson & Farquhar, 2014;Kimmons et al.， 2017)。本文认为，论坛上的宗教认同具有个人和集体的维度，而“宗教认同”一词的填充往往涉及非逐字的、隐蔽的宗教和信仰，这使得它们类似于“我们”与“他们”的划分。有人认为，论坛用户的媒介化宗教身份虽然是灵活和可改变的，但也基于非媒体背景，例如教堂或宗教社区，或对宗教和宗教信仰的某种理解。

Over the past 30 years the Bible has gone digital. This transition from paper technology to digital technology has attracted the interest of scholars because such a change has consequences for how the Bible is used and could lead to differences in how it is understood. Many are claiming that a digital Bible will result in a less stable Bible (Parker, 2003; Pui-lan, 2008; Beal, 2011, pp. 189–190; Wagner, 2012, pp. 20–23; Clivaz, 2014; Holmes, 2016), due to the peritext (the physical aspect of the text) of this new reading technology. However, I argue that this claim does not sufficiently take into account the Bible’s epitext (the nonphysical aspect of the text), through which evangelical Christians engage the scriptures. Ultimately, I argue that the epitext will limit the destabilising effect of the digital peritext.
在过去的30年里，圣经已经数字化了。这种从纸质技术到数字技术的转变引起了学者们的兴趣，因为这种变化对圣经的使用方式产生了影响，并可能导致对圣经的理解方式的差异。许多人声称，数字化圣经将导致圣经不那么稳定(Parker, 2003;Pui-lan, 2008;比尔，2011年，第189-190页;Wagner, 2012, pp. 20-23;Clivaz, 2014;Holmes, 2016)，由于这种新的阅读技术的periitext(文本的物理方面)。然而，我认为这种说法没有充分考虑到圣经的外文(文本的非物质方面)，福音派基督徒通过它来接触圣经。最后，我认为外延将限制数字语境的不稳定效应。

Social media is altering how some religious leaders communicate with their followers and with the public. This has the potential to challenge theories of religious communication that have been developed through the study of traditional modes such as sermons. This study examines how leaders in U.S. evangelicalism take advantage of the public platform provided by Twitter. Using over 85,000 tweets from 88 prominent evangelical leaders, we find that these leaders often use their social media platforms as a natural extension of their current modes of communication. More specifically, evangelical leaders use their account to encourage and inspire their followers, while also conveying information about upcoming personal projects such as tours and book releases. In a small number of cases, evangelical leaders do make reference to political issues, but those individuals are ones who have already built a brand based on political commentary. Speaking broadly, the usage of political language by evangelical leaders is rare. The paper concludes with a discussion of how this analysis advances theories of religion and communication.

This article contributes to the study of media, religion and culture from the perspective of gender and sexuality. It argues that media and culture need to be considered as locations in which ‘other stories’ about religion, gender and sexuality are potentially being produced. It shows that various types of media and visual artefacts have different modes of ‘making’ religion. It coins ‘religion-in-the-making’ and uses this concept to focus on two cultural productions that construct/convey ‘other’ religious narratives starting from female and queer bodies: the Belgian fictional movie Le Tout Nouveau Testament and the Al Jazeera biographical documentary Hip-Hop Hijabis.
这篇文章有助于从性别和性的角度来研究媒体、宗教和文化。它认为，媒体和文化需要被视为可能产生关于宗教、性别和性的“其他故事”的场所。这表明，不同类型的媒体和视觉人工制品具有不同的“制造”宗教的模式。它创造了“正在形成的宗教”，并利用这一概念关注两种文化作品，这两种文化作品构建/传达了从女性和酷儿身体开始的“其他”宗教叙事:比利时虚构电影《Le Tout Nouveau Testament》和半岛电视台的传记纪录片《Hip-Hop Hijabis》。

Within the growing body of research devoted to exploring digital religion (Campbell, 2013), relatively little attention has been paid to the linguistic implications of religion moving online. In a study focusing on the online ritual of bay’ah, or allegiance pledging, in Sufism, this article presents findings that identify instances of language form and practice being modified and transformed when ritual moves online. Two aspects of linguistic change are considered. The first explores how an offline, predominantly orally based ritual transfers to a predominantly visual and written mode of communication online. The second considers how ritual performativity is maintained, modified or reduced as a consequence of this transfer. Using a combination of multimodal discourse analysis and speech act theory, an analysis of the findings suggests that a variety of approaches are used by designers of online ritual portals to address these linguistic challenges.
