In this first lengthy treatment of Mormon identities as they intersect with their religious institution, the internet, and modernity during the so-called “Mormon Moment,” Rosemary Avance explores how LDS stakeholders challenged traditional notions of what it means to be Mormon, vying for control of their own public narratives.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eMediated Mormons\u003c\/i\u003e uses a case study approach to consider various iterations of Mormon identity as presented by church authorities, faithful members, the secular media, and heterodox and former adherents. These often-conflicting perspectives challenge traditional models of LDS authority, dismantling a monolithic view of Mormons and offering a window into processes of social activism and institutional change in the internet era.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"The University of Utah Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52735146262808,"sku":"9781647692063","price":21.56,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/mediated-mormons-shifting-religious-identities-in-the-digital-age-paperback-softback-9781647692063","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
