Contemporary Muslim Preaching and Religious Media Practices
In my research project Contemporary Muslim Preaching and Religious Media Practices, I am focussing on videos that Muslim preachers share via social media. I am interested in how these videos are designed in terms of image and sound, i.e. the camera work, the background, the space, lighting and sound, the preacher's voice, background noise and much more. I am also interested in how Muslims perceive and react to these videos; whether they use them to get answers to religious or everyday questions, whether they take up suggestions from these videos to change something in the practice of their religion or to give other Muslims suggestions for change; whether they share the videos with others, comment on them or get in touch with the preacher in other ways, for example.
