[Buddha-l] Representations of Buddhism in the Media

[Cristina Rocha]

Hi Jim, 
 
In my book, "Zen in Brazil: The Quest for Cosmopolitan Modernity" (Hawaii University Press, 2006), I analyse the construction of an imaginary of Buddhism and Zen by Japanese migrants, European and Brazilian literature, journalists, travellers, followers, monks and nuns, and the media. In chapter 4, I deal specifically with representations of Buddhism in the media. But the intersections of Buddhism and popular culture are explored throughout the book. I hope it helps.
 
cheers,
 
Cristina

Can anybody help with suggestions of articles or books on representations of Buddhism in the media and popular culture for a student of mine who wants to write a term paper for an undergrad class on Buddhism.

Thanks,
