%0 Book Section %B Digital Judaism: Jewish Negotiations with Digital Media and Technology %D 2015 %T Studying Jewish Engagement with Digital Media and Culture %A Campbell, H %K culture %K digital media %K Judaism %X The study of new media, religion and digital culture has been in existence for almost two decades. During this time scholars have explored a wide range of religious group’s engagement with the internet, yet it is clear that some religious traditions, such as Christianity and Islam, have received much more attention than others. As Campbell and Lovheim (2011) noted in their assessment of the study of religion and the internet, there is still a need for a more nuanced understanding of the negotiation of the internet as a medium for religious practice within some religious groups. Also more careful consideration is called for regarding what some scholars have described as “digital religion”—the relationship between the online-offline religious contexts-within some religious traditions. This chapter argues that the study of Jewish groups and the internet has arguably been an understudied area in need of more significant attention and critical examination. %B Digital Judaism: Jewish Negotiations with Digital Media and Technology %I Routledge %C New York %P 1-15 %G eng %U https://www.taylorfrancis.com/books/e/9781317817345/chapters/10.4324%2F9781315818597-5 %1 H. Campbell %0 Book %D 2015 %T Digital Judaism: Jewish negotiations with digital media and culture %A Campbell, H %K culture %K digital judaism %K digital media %K Digital Religion %K Jewish religion %X In this volume, contributors consider the ways that Jewish communities and users of new media negotiate their uses of digital technologies in light of issues related to religious identity, community and authority. Digital Judaism presents a broad analysis of how and why various Jewish groups negotiate with digital culture in particular ways, situating such observations within a wider discourse of how Jewish groups throughout history have utilized communication technologies to maintain their Jewish identities across time and space. Chapters address issues related to the negotiation of authority between online users and offline religious leaders and institutions not only within ultra-Orthodox communities, but also within the broader Jewish religious culture, taking into account how Jewish engagement with media in Israel and the diaspora raises a number of important issues related to Jewish community and identity. Featuring recent scholarship by leading and emerging scholars of Judaism and media, Digital Judaism is an invaluable resource for researchers in new media, religion and digital culture. %I Routledge %C New York %G eng %U https://books.google.com/books?id=IKYGCAAAQBAJ&printsec=frontcover&dq=978-0415736244&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwj88ouMqMTbAhXjt1kKHf-7CykQ6AEILjAB#v=onepage&q&f=false
