4 Articulating life and culture in the media age
1 Ultimately, of course, the process of theory-building in most areas of media
studies has always involved an interaction between the “quantitative/empiri-
cist” and “qualitative/interpretivist” camps. As should be obvious from the
discussions in this book, the field of media and religion studies is no different.

about taste and class, and the way in which taste can and does act as marker in
social relationships. (Pierre Bourdieu (1984) Distinction: A Social Critique of

18 I am indebted to Roger Silverstone for an early influence on my thinking about
the utility of narrative in media research, though his work focused on text
rather than audience. See Roger Silverstone, “Television myth and culture,” in

Press, Newbury Park, CA: Sage, pp. 32–3.
