Historia de la Comunicación Social estadounidense a través de sus Movimientos Religiosos: interacciones entre religión, cultura y comunicación

Abstract

In continental Europe, religion is being refused as a valuable tool in understanding social reality, cultural production and communication. This is the result of a late and excessive secularization, leading to an imminent entropy. By contrast, in the United States of America, thanks to its prototypical secularization (which reflects the country's vigorous religious movements), religion still plays a vital role in determining issues such as public opinion, public relations, propaganda and broadcast, etc. Thus, this study provides a set theory, which should serve both to reveal the meaning and scope of the role of religious movements in the life of American media, as well as to provide the evidence needed for dismantling various lies which have emerged in the recent socio-cultural reformulation, as a result of the last awakening and its revival.
