en this focus on postcoloniality, we encourage a broad understanding of ‘religion’ as emerging from the cultural context under investigation and appropriate for the questions asked. Questions may include, but are not limited to: • How are media used to foster resistance, but also structures of oppression? What role do religious dimensions play in such media discourses? • How do media producers draw on religious dimensions to promote socio-political agendas? Can continuities be observed between colonial and postcolonial times? • How can media be a space to imagine and realize socio-religious ideals such as a peaceful society? • How are traditional or indigenous resources of critique or resistance expressed in contemporary media engagement with socio-cultural issues? • How does the entanglement of media and religion create powerful structures of affect in collectives? • What theoretical or methodological questions emerge in the study of media and ‘religion’ in postcoloniality? In how far are concepts and theories developed in this field in a primarily western context applicable or change when focusing on diverse cultural contexts? We are interested in scholarly discussions or scholarly/practitioner co-produced case studies from diverse cultural contexts, and we ask that authors keep a diverse cultural audience in mind in their discussions. In addition to the traditional essay, we also encourage the submissions using alternative media formats (e.g. photo essay or articles that use video/audio recordings). The issue also includes an open section for articles on other topics linked to the profile of JRFM. The deadline for all submissions is 28 February 2021. Contribu- tions of 6,000–8,000 words (including notes) should be submitted for double-blind peer review through the journal homepage www.jrfm.eu.
