Comics as a Way of Doing, Encountering, and Making Religion
No full textWhat can be learned from the research presented in Culture, Comics, and Religion. Faith imagined? De Groot collects and systematizes the results and suggests paths for further research. He shows how comics are a way of doing, encountering, and making religion in liquid modernity, and argues that comics deserve more attention from the perspective of material religion, lived religion, and fiction-based religion
Comics and Religion in Liquid Modernity
No full textSince the early twenty-first century, the study of comic books, manga, and graphic novels has taken off. Religion is involved with comics in several ways. De Groot distinguishes four questions. How do religions use and respond to comics? How do comics represent and criticize religion? When does the social role of comics resemble the social role of religion? And finally: what and how do comics teach about religion, culture, and society? These issues structure a systematic collection of essays that gives an impetus to the new field of research into comics and religion from a sociological perspective. In liquid modernity, the articulation of the sacred is no longer governed by religions. Religion is both “in there,” and “out there,” mediatized also by cartoons, comics, and animated movies

A Vertical Transport Geometry for Electrical Spin Injection and Extraction in Si
No full textSchottky barriers formed between ferromagnetic metal and Semiconductor are of particular interest for spin injection and detection experiments. Here, we investigate electrical spin polarized carrier injection and extraction in Si using a Co/Si/Ni vertical structure built on a 250 nm thick Si membrane. Current-voltage measurements performed on the devices at low temperatures showed evidence of the conduction being dominated by thermionic field emission, which is believed to be the key to spin injection using Schottky junctions. This, however, proved inconclusive as our devices did not show any magnetoresistance signal even at low temperatures. We attribute this partially to the high resistance-area product in our Schottky contacts at spin injection biases. We show the potential of this vertical Spin-device for future experiments by numerical simulation. The results reveal that by growing a thin highly doped Ge layer at the Schottky junctions the resistancearea products could be tuned to obtain high magnetoresistance
Kees de Groot, The Liquidation of the Church
Full text linkThe book Liquidation of the Church has seemingly provocative name but also the long history of deep interest in church-society relations. The author, graduated sociologist and practical theologian, worked many years on different case studies in the Netherlands which he effectively brought in one original theoretical frame. It is mirrored in its structure: After introducing the concept of the liquidation of the church, Kees de Groot displays first the studies of ecclesial manoeuvres in fluid s..
