Abstract:
Religions have naturally invented the notifying tools and suitable media and via this, they have transferred their basic and fundamental concepts to the social areas throughout the history. Such tools which we call them the traditional media have always put emphasis on the transfer of concepts within the format of the oral culture. The intrinsic relationship between form and content would result in the proselytizing religion with the least amount of loss until the emergence of the technological and modern media such as TV. Some of these tools including television, since having some specific technologic structure and also having some social and philosophic formational contexts, have brought about some impacts that have generated some serious doubts against unlimited use in line with proselytizing religious concepts.The type of utilization of media in the cultural and geographical areas of the other cultures requires a substantial recognition of its language and also an attempt to localizing it. As long as this event does not happen, any struggle for successful transmission of the cultural concept in this new geographical scope will be feasible. How will the modern media such as TV, the aesthetical nature and function of which has been generated based upon missions like having entertainment or fun in the Western countries, be able to serve for the Islamic and oracular teachings that stands against frivolity?This article via identifying the relationship between TV and the religion tries to answer the fundamental question that how much it is possible to transmit the abstract concepts and to present the holy and innocent identities such Imam Zaman (MGHHA) and proselytizing Mahdaviat culture?
