Research axes and keywords
He has authored books, book chapters, and articles on New Technologies of Information and Communication Sciences (NTIC), concertation and public sphere, (emerging) media and religion, spirituality, liberty of religion, secularity and religious organizations and institutions. He supervises PhD candidates in the following fields: mediatization of the religion and (multi)media public sphere, production of meaning in the social spaces (domestic space, organizational space and public space), cultural mediations and symbolic forms within organizations, public and political communication. His expertise lies in how the symbolic construction of the communicative reality is associated with the “mediatization of everything”. In this context, Stefan Bratosin has frequently questioned the role of the digital media in the appropriation of the religious fact (an important source of symbolic violence especially on the emerging media).
