    Previous research has pointed to the central role of media for the current young adult generation when it comes to finding information about religion, exploring beliefs, and developing a religious identity. This article explores how young adult university students in three different contexts – Ghana, Turkey, and Peru – report using digital media for religious purposes. The article builds on previous research on the role of media in religious socialization and explores the usefulness of the notion of self-socialization in a transnational study. The studied contexts are all shown to differ when it comes to levels of self-reported religiosity and use of media for religious purposes. The article illustrates the independent use of digital media in all contexts and self-socialization taking place on a general level, but also highlights the continuous importance of traditional socialization agents, thus questioning simplistic understandings of the role of media in religious socialization.

    El fenómeno de la secularización: una investigación filosófica y empírica desde la realidad peruana
    (Universidad Pontificia Comillas, 2018)

    Este artículo estudia el fenómeno de la secularización expresada en la realidad de personas que han experimentado una contra-conversión. Este fenómeno parecería reavivar un antiguo malentendido entre la ciencia y la religión que, incluso en nuestros días, no estaría resuelto. Sin ignorar este conflicto, nos hemos preguntado si, a pesar de cierta secularización en el entorno académico (especialmente el peruano), ha sido posible la emergencia transcultural de lo que puede llamarse una neo-espiritualidad fundada en una trascendencia no ontológica.
