Everybody knows that colonialism had, and still has, a major impact on the relationship between Africa and Europe. However, few people are aware of the role religion plays in this. Listen to Birgit Meyer, François Manga and Erik Meinema who will explain how a Western definition of religion was introduced in Africa during the colonial era, and how this influences culture, religion and politics even today.

In der heutigen Episode dreht sich alles um das Heilsversprechen E-Auto. Wir gehen der Frage nach, ob es uns wirklich dabei helfen kann eine klimaneutrale Gesellschaft zu werden oder es sich dabei vielleicht doch nur um einen profitablen Hype handelt. Dazu haben wir mit zwei Personen gesprochen, die sich mit diesem komplexen Thema auskennen und uns etwas Licht ins Dunkel bringen: Holger Heinfellner von der Umweltbundesamt GmbH (www.umweltbundesamt.at) und Birgit Meyer vom Österreichischen Institut für Wirtschaftsforschung (www.wifo.ac.at).

Christianity has greatly shaped popular filmmaking in Ghana. Kristian Petersen talks with Birgit Meyer, Professor of Religious Studies at the University of Utrecht, about her new book Sensational Movies - Video, Vision and Christianity in Ghana.
Anthropologist Birgit Meyer‘s most recent book, Sensational Movies: Video, Vision, and Christianity in Ghana (University of California Press, 2015), explores the dynamic process of popular video filmmaking in Ghana as a new medium for the imagination that interweaves technological, economic, social, cultural, and religious aspects. Stepping into the void left by the defunct state film industry, video movies negotiate the imaginaries deployed by state cinema on the one hand and Pentecostal Christianity on the other. More specifically, Sensational Movies shows the affinity between cinematic and Christian modes of looking and showcases the transgressive potential haunting figurations of the occult. In this in depth account, more than two decades in the making, Meyer takes us into the nexus of imagination, imaginaries, and images in contemporary Ghana.
