Special Issue: "The Visual Cultures of Global Pentecostalism". Immense, diverse and prolific, imported, indigenized and autochthonous - Pentecostalism represents more than one third of the world's Christians. The cases presented in this special issue treat the Pentecostal mediascape as a material practice of faith, as sacred embodiments of spirituality, identity and practice. Ranging from Ghanaian television shows to the political uses of mass media in Brazil to the global ministries of German evangelist Reinhard Bonnke, the articles alert us to the interactive nature of religious seeing. Special attention is paid to the cultural contexts in which these mass mediated images take place (cinematic and televisual apparatuses; public display; home viewing; church settings; TV studio audiences) and how their settings play a key role in framing the visual experience.
