摘要

Derived from a colloquium held in Hamilton in 2007, this impressive anthology calls into question why religion and technology have existed as two distinct areas of understanding. The result is what the editor, Concordia University Communication scholar Jeremy Stolow, calls "a conversation" with communication scholars, religious studies specialists, and anthropologists aimed at generating new ways of thinking about how to understand the hybrid technical and mystical aspects of social experience. Although a few chapters are partially adapted from previously published work, the majority is comprised of new material. Broadly speaking, a collection like this has two main objectives. It wants to create space for a field of study within a discipline by pointing to the limitations of previous ways of knowing some of its key objects and then drawing attention to the benefits to knowledge that accrue from bringing the new approach to bear. It also wants to encourage engagement by showing scholars new pathways into an exciting area of study. With its diverse case studies across a number of religious traditions, its variety of theoretical frameworks, and its rich historical detail, Deus in Machina is an unqualified success on both accounts.
