The Study of Damanhur Alessandra Vitullo Sociología Online New Age Internet Religion Postsecular Is internet1 really a new "electronic temple" where both traditional and New Religious Movements (NRMs) can find and gather their communities? The cryptic rules of ICTs and their capacity of “de-massifyng” and relativizing time and space raises deeper reflections about the human condition as well as the possibility for individuals to reach new levels of transcendence. Several scholars have observed how the internet’s “mysterious” nature and functions have opened new possibilities of “re-enchantment of the world” through generating new personal and spiritual empowerment. This research looks at the internet’s influence on the virtual activity of Damanhur Spiritual Community, a small esoteric village in Northern Italy. The analysis of the structure of Damanhur’s website demonstrates that internet is not merely a tool of communication, but embodies the spiritual philosophy of Community, becoming an empirical part of its values. 2016 artículo científico 2340-8413 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=441548188010 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=4415 methaodos.revista de ciencias sociales application/pdf Universidad Rey Juan Carlos methaodos.revista de ciencias sociales (España) Num.2 Vol.4 |
