Critical Approaches to Studying Religion in Film

In this episode, Ting Guo chats with Rebekka King and Tenzan Eaghall about their edited volume, Representing Religion in Film , published by Bloomsbury in 2022. This book points out the “ideological blindspot” of existing studies on religion and film by emphasising the ways in which cinema and filmmakers are situated in, constructed by, represent, and (re)produces the ideologies of our world. This book presents a critical approach to religion and film and engages with the latest debates such as the world religion paradigm and critical theories in the field religious studies. It was my great pleasure to talk to them as both an RSP interviewer and a contributor of this volume.
