Zen Buddhism and Media A study of how media alter or reinforce Zen Buddhism in Norway

Dissertação - Internet e Religião
Jonas Gabriel Berg

Resumo

This thesis concerns how the media, especially the Internet, influences Zen Buddhist practices and discourses in Norway. Various social networks, such as Facebook, make it possible to expand religious discourses and make them available all over the world. Not only are social networks on the Internet a means of communicating, but frequently, different sources related to Zen Buddhism are assuming media forms, being shared and commented on. By analyzing how the Rinzai Zen Center and the Norwegian Soto Zen Buddhist Order, two of the main Zen Buddhist communities in Norway apply media forms, I show how the Internet influences their practices and discourses. Most importantly, this is shown by how members from the two communities are relocating real-life discourses to the Internet, on Facebook. Furthermore, I have interviewed members from the two communities in order to give a more detailed account of how the members understand their own application of the Internet and other media forms.
