Das homilias das bem-aventuranças à revolução do metaverso : o processo de transição comunicacional da cultura religiosa católica

Abstract

This research aims to investigate the process of communication transition of Catholic religious culture in the current scenario of technological and cultural integration, with emphasis on the use of mass media up to the Metaverses. For this, the state of the art methodology was used, which involves the compilation and analysis of bibliographic, hemerographic and documentary sources. Throughout the five chapters, the author discusses the close relationship between media and religion, as well as the evolution of the media, from radio to Web 3.0. In addition, it is addressed the creation of a new Homilética, and religious avatars that develop actions of television merchandising. The conclusion points to the positive impacts of digital technologies in the process of transformation of religious culture, as well as the need for new studies on the subject. The research points out that the communication transition of religious culture, when mediated by the media, constitutes a complex and multifaceted phenomenon, that involves the readjustment of traditional forms of religious expression and the practice of faith in contexts where technology presents itself as one of the main factors of change.
