The Socio-Cultural Impacts of Coronavirus on Religious Lifeworlds: A Sociological Narrative of Stands and Behaviors of Religious Activists and Religious Communities in a Coronized World

This “Detailed and Illustrated” article is a sociological narrative of the reflections of the “Coronized World” on religious lifeworlds “from Qom to Rome” since the beginning of 2020. Theoretical and analytical basis of this narrative are derived from the perspective of “Sociology of Religion and Anthropology of Religion” and its sources of data are based on national and global media and cultural multilingual (i.e. English, Arabic, Persian) reports.
In this narrative, an attempt is made to describe and interpret what happened in the “Lifeworlds of Abrahamic Religions” (Judaism, Christianity, and Islam) and the “Lifeworlds of Asian religions” (Hinduism, Buddhism, and Zoroastrianism) and the probable social challenges that are likely to arise in these lifeworlds from the perspective of sociology of religion and anthropology of religion. Religious biographies should be described and interpreted from the perspective of the sociology of religion and the anthropology of religion. Moreover the illustrations themselves, as social narrators, speak to the audience on recently occurred events in a coronized world and religious lifeworlds from Qom to Rome.
This detailed illustrated article, as a lived experience, is probably a good start for fellow sociologists and anthropologists of religion in Iran to put this genre of combined narrative (sociology and anthropology of religion and religion digital journalism) to test in order to describe, interpret and explain social events related to the religious lifeworld at four levels (i.e. local, national, regional, and global) and also at inter-religious level.
