Carneiro explains her observations as evidence of the “emulation” of scientific techniques and a scientific culture of visualization. She consciously decided not to challenge the Creationist visualizations in her article. These authors inspire us to consider what more might be done in this field of media and religious studies. for instance, international or regional cultures of media in studying religions might be more systematically researched, and the aesthetic effects of different media on scholars addressed. And readers of this interdisciplinary journal will likely be intrigued to see how this predominantly re- ligious studies perspective might bring reactions from neighboring disciplines. Uwe Wirth contributed an inspirational editorial article to the edited collec- tion Im Zwischenraum (inside the in-between space).11 he analyzed the content and layout of scholarly texts from the perspective of the study of literature, and he distinguished layers of argumentation, found principally in the main text, in paratexts at the beginning and end of books, and in subordinate or broader discourses in the footnotes. Even different versions of headings can guide the reader through textual spaces. An introduction – like this one – can be charac- terized as an in-between space, as a bridge that leads the read to the articles, but it can also function as an open space, leaving room for the development of further discussion.
