摘要

本文研究了120个粉丝创作的故事，主要围绕电视喜剧《生活大爆炸》(BBC/亚马逊2016-2019)中“性感牧师”的角色，研究了粉丝如何利用他们的粉丝来探索宗教问题，培养宗教和神学素养。这挑战了斯蒂格·哈佛通过研究粉丝对“世俗”电视节目的反应而提出的媒体对宗教表现的“平庸性”。当他们通过粉丝圈参与时，粉丝作者参与对当代天主教问题的反思，讨论上帝的性格，以及对圣经的解释。这是一种“严肃游戏”的形式，允许对这些主题进行详细的冥想。尽管粉丝们对宗教问题的参与并不是西方宗教信仰衰落的逆转，但它是“宗教的新可见性”的标志，在这种情况下，“传统”和新宗教的例子都出现在小说中，而且往往是意想不到的，背景。

Developing religious literacy through popular culture fandom: engaging religious issues in Fleabag fan fiction

This article examines 120 fan-authored stories focusing on the character of the “Hot Priest” in television comedy Fleabag (BBC/Amazon 2016-2019), examining how fans use their fandom to explore religious issues and develop religious and theological literacy. This challenges the “banality” of media representations of religion suggested by Stig Hjarvard’s mediatisation thesis through examining fan responses to a “secular” television show. As they engage through fandom, fan authors participate in reflection on contemporary Catholic issues, discuss God’s character, and interpretations of scripture. This is a form of “serious play” that allows for detailed meditation on these subjects. Although fans’ engagement with religious issues is not a reversal of the decline of religious affiliation in the West, it is a sign of the “new visibility of religion” in which examples of both “traditional” and new religion emerge in novel, and often unexpected, contexts.

期刊介绍： Journal of Contemporary Religion is an international peer reviewed journal. Its purpose is to both document and evaluate the anthropological, sociological, psychological, and philosophical aspects of emerging manifestations of religiosity in any part of the world—whether within innovative movements or mainstream institutions. The term ''religion'' in the title of this journal is understood to include contributions on spirituality. Moreover, as the journal title suggests, the focus is on contemporary issues. Therefore, the editors of Journal of Contemporary Religion welcome submissions which deal with: classical topics in the study of religion, such as secularisation and the vitality of religion or traditional sectarian movements; more recent developments in the study of religion, including religion and social problems, religion and the environment, religion and education, the transmission of religion, the materialisation and visualisation of religion in various forms, new forms of religious pluralism, the rise of new forms of religion and spirituality, religion and the Internet, religion and science, religion and globalisation, religion and the economy, etc. theoretical approaches to the study of religion; discussions of methods in relation to empirical research; qualitative and quantitative research and related issues. The Journal includes reviews of books which reflect the above themes.
