Abstract

Chapter 6 (along with Chap. 7) reprises the key theories of Jameson (those of Ritzer are discussed in Chaps. 8 and 9), which have provided an explication of capitalism at the end of the twentieth century, and adapts them to the present (twenty-first) century, and, more specifically, to religion. These theories have been tested and found successful in accounting for changes in the field of religion. Therefore, theoretically adapted, they can provide a stronger understanding of current variations in this field. These theories are intrinsically diachronic and are thus ideal for adaptation to today’s social and cultural mutations. The chapter also refers to the notion of digital capitalism, as a further extension of capitalism.
