Abstract
This chapter presents the Scandinavian context and the theory of mediatization arguing that it is a relevant perspective for understanding religion and media in Scandinavia and similar societies. The Scandinavian countries used to be members of a group of countries in which state, nation, ethnicity, language, and religion overlapped almost perfectly. Among the more recent sources of this homogeneity were the national churches and media institutions. This background is important for understanding the theory of the mediatization of religion. However, parts of the mediatization theory are based on theories from classical modernity especially with regard to the diagnosis of society and authority. From a society of singularities perspective, this chapter shows how a late modern approach can be integrated with the theory of mediatization.
