Beschreibung
Based on extensive ethnographic fieldwork in the UK, the US, and Belgium, as well as an analysis of a wide array of digital sources, this volume compellingly conceptualizes the digital and the diaspora as separate but intertwined frontier-spaces in which religious adaptation and change can be expected to occur. Touching upon a variety of aspects of Jain socio-religious experience and practice, the volume succeeds in shedding light on the diversity of Jain diasporic experiences and practices, and underscores the different roles digital media can play in individual religiosity and identity formation, community building, and the dissemination of traditional as well as innovative ideas.
