Dear all,
We are inviting book chapter proposals for the edited collection entitled Religion and AI: Theoretical and empirical approaches (Bloomsbury Publishing). The book will draw on cross-disciplinary conversations between scholars in media studies, sociology of religion, and visual arts with a focus on architecture. The project brings together various theoretical and empirical perspectives on religion and Artificial Intelligence and aims to investigate the impact and promise of AI for religious institutions, communities, and individuals; as well as the role AI might play in the representation of religion.
The proposed book is divided into three sections:
* Theoretical approaches * Empirical Case Studies * Reflective perspectives from the editors.
The theory-based chapters reflect on how a selected theory (e.g., mediatization; transhumanism; phenomenology) explains AI and predicted religious attitudes and uses of AI. The empirical case studies supply real-world examples of religious uses of AI. Special attention will be given in chapter selection to a diversity of locations and traditions. The last section includes three reflective, future oriented essays from the editors thus providing an in-depth, thought-provoking, analysis of this area from a cross disciplinary perspective.
Together, the book will provide a comprehensive look into uses, understandings, narratives, and projections of the relationship between religion and AI.
We are inviting chapter proposals for: 1) Empirical Case Studies section (4000-6000 words); and/or 2) Theoretical Approaches (4000-6000 words).
If you are interested, please send Ruth Tsuria (ruth.tsuria@shu.edu<mailto:ruth.tsuria@shu.edu>) an abstract (250 words) by August 25th, 2024. Full chapters will be submitted by November 1st, 2024.
