Theologie und Popkultur
0 - Default Title
Description
Einmal mehr zeigt sich, dass die - an den Hochschulen zunehmend um Anerkennung kämpfende - Theologie entscheidendes Hintergrundwissen zum interdisziplinären kulturwissenschaftlichen Diskurs beizutragen hat.
[Theology and Pop Culture. Contributions on Bud Spencer, Vikings, the Böhsen Onkelz, Ayn Rand, Karl May, and Friedrich Nietzsche]
The contributions in this volume deal (in many cases for the first time) with people and phenomena that have been or are being widely received in the world of pop culture from a theological perspective. It becomes clear that neither the writer Karl May nor the actor Bud Spencer can be adequately understood without their Christian self-image. The anti-Christian self-image of the philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche or the philosopher Ayn Rand also requires theological explanation. And even the television series 'Vikings' can be illuminated from a church history perspective, and the band 'Böhse Onkelz' from a diaconal science perspective. Once again, it is clear that theology - which is increasingly struggling for recognition at universities - has crucial background knowledge to contribute to interdisciplinary cultural studies discourse.
