Welcome to Religious
Communication-Tuscany Version. In the class we will specifically
exploring how the Catholic Church uses and responds to different forms of
media. As part of the class students will be keeping a blog to reflect on a
number of different aspects of how religion and media intersect. Your first
blogging assignment involves exploring how religious art, as an early form of
media, express different religious beliefs and how Catholic church leaders have
expressed positive and negative views about using art to capture and translate
religious stories and values.
For your first blog post
you are to select at least 2 images from two different locations that present a
common form or representation of a religious, specifically Catholic focused
beliefs. Your blog should address the following question:
What message do your chosen images
(2-3) communicate about religion and how the Catholic church uses media?
Use concrete examples based on
description of images and contexts in which they were found to back up claim.
Also use ideas from presented from lectures 1 &2 to make your argument.
Your Blog Posts should be 250+ words and posted along with the images you talk
about on your own personal blogs.
