Description
Summary:The paper will focus on the different ways in which being secular or nonreligious is represented in contemporary US television seriality. The paper will examine three cases, showing how they manage to depict different ways of being religious and nonreligious and how these differences are represented and mediated. Conceptually the focus will be on nonreligiosity as a relational concept, while the more general frame is the role of television and specifically seriality in representing, reflecting, and promoting (or not) different forms of religion, nonreligion, and secularity.
