STREAM: Society, Technology, Religion and Media
- Share:
Society, Technology, Religion and Media are key parts of today’s world. The growing technological innovation allows glocalització, hyperconnectivitat, the diffusion of space and time and raises even new capabilities to humanity.
The era of progress and communication coincides with the era of mass migrations, which contribute to creating pluralistic, diverse, multicultural and multi-religious societies, a fact that causes new challenges at the political, social and communicative levels. In this context, the informative role of the media is capital as they discover new business models to survive in the digital space. STReaM aims to investigate and respond to these challenges.
The presence of religion in the research carried out by STReaM is a differential fact in Catalonia and a pioneer in southern Europe. The group is part of one of the leading research centers in this field, the Blanquerna Observatory of Communication, Religion and Culture.
