Religion and State in a Time of Crisis
This article analyzes the responses of Poland’s three primary religious groups—the Roman Catholic Church, the Polish Autocephalous Orthodox Church, and Jehovah’s Witnesses—to the COVID -19 pandemic. Drawing on data from the RECOV -19 project, it examines each organization’s adaptations to state-imposed health restrictions, focusing on the Catholic Church’s dominant influence and contrasting it with the minority positions of the Orthodox Church an…
Od socjologii cyfrowej do socjologii hybrydowej? Krytyka koncepcji głębokiej mediatyzacji na podstawie badań wspólnot i organizacji religijnych
Artykuł krytycznie analizuje koncepcję głębokiej mediatyzacji i jej ograniczenia w badaniu relacji online-offline. Na podstawie badań jakościowych polskich instytucji religijnych oraz studium przypadku katolickiej wspólnoty, która rozwinęła działalność cyfrową podczas pandemii COVID-19, identyfikuję trzy kluczowe problemy konstrukcjonistycznej koncepcji mediatyzacji: 1) problematyczną konceptualizację „tempa innowacji", 2) nadmierny nacisk na spr…

“Train your mind for a healthy life”. The medicalization of mediatized mindfulness in the West
The study analyses how the functions and purposes of mindfulness meditation practices are constructed in the narratives of the Headspace mobile application. The quantitative component deployed a semi-automatic, computer assisted text analysis of 964 posts on the Headspace blog, and involved topic modelling and keyword co-occurrence analysis. This step identified dominant topics within the sample, and key term associations, which informed the in-d…
Religious media settlers in times of deep mediatization
This article follows the actor-centered approach in studies on deep mediatization and religion in the aim of introducing the concept of ‘media settlers’, which refers to how churches, being corporate actors, actively use digital media and respond to the trends and consequences of deep mediatization. In so doing, churches undertake actions defined as strategies intended to both expand and maintain community – and assert authority. The article draw…

“Building Spiritual Immunity”
What can the Covid-19 pandemic tell us about the connection between media and religion? The case of the Seventh-Day Adventist Church in Poland
The aims of this paper are to investigate 1) how the Seventh-Day Adventist Church in Poland has reacted to the COVID-19 pandemic restrictions and lockdowns imposed nationwide, 2) how the pandemic context has influenced the Church's digital media productions, and 3) how the Church has adapted to some of the trends and consequences of deep mediatization (Hepp et al. 2017, 2018). Based in the constructivist concept of deep mediatization (Hepp et al.…

Mediated Identity of Catholic Internet Forum Users in Poland
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., 201…
Between individualisation and tradition
The aim of this paper is to connect the debates on individualisation and mediatisation of religion and transformations of religious authority online on theoretical and empirical basis. The classical and contemporary concepts of individualisation of religion, rooted in the secularisation debate, will be connected with Campbell’s [2007. “Who’s Got the Power? Religious Authority and the Internet.” Journal of Computer-Mediated Communication 12 (3): 1…
The conspiracy of silence”
Meditation, one of the most ancient forms of religious practice, appears to be undergoing a late modern revival. One of the key expressions of this contemplative turn has emerged in the current popularity of mindfulness - a form of meditation originally derived from the Buddhist Theravada tradition. Following the groundwork laid by the global expansion of yoga, meditation is thus widely considered to represent the latest ripple in the easternisat…
Religious authority online
Drawing on a popular Catholic online forum in Poland, this study examines the interaction between top-down (traditional institutional) and bottom-up (informal expert) forms of religious authority. In adapting Campbell’s concept of online religious authority, this study shows that both forms of authority emerge in varying contexts and have distinct yet mutually supplementary functions. Top-down authority occurs as topic and background of discussio…
Religion on Catholic Internet Forums in Poland. A Memory Mediated
The following article aims to show that on Catholic Internet forums in Poland, religion—in this case Roman Catholicism—serves as a mediated chain of memory fulfilling two main functions simultaneously: an integrating function and a differentiating function. The analysis will be based on Hervieu-Léger’s concept of religion as a chain of memory (2000, 2006) and Davie’s modified concept of religion as memory that mutates (2000, 2006). A thread from …
