| Résumé: | The potential of visual research methods—image-based techniques used to collect, analyze, and present data—in the sociology of religion is vast, but largely untapped. This comes as a surprise, however, given the visual, symbolic, and material nature of religion and spirituality. Cultural artifacts such as houses of worship, roadside memorials, movies, bumper stickers, clothing, and tattoos are among the many reminders of the presence of religion throughout society. Behind these markers of belief and belonging lie powerful social forces that inform behaviors, practices, and attitudes that are embodied and enacted throughout the many domains of everyday life. |
