Drawing on theories of discourse analysis and ideology critique, this study calls attention to an evolution in how secularism, nationalism, and multiculturalism in Euro-Western states are debated and understood as competing groups contest and rearrange the meaning of these terms. This is especially true in the digital age as online cultures have transformed how information is spread, how we imagine our communities, build alliances, and produce shared meaning. From recent attempts to prohibit religious symbols in public, to Trump's so-called Muslim bans, to growing disenchantment with the promises of digital media, this study turns the lens how nation-states, organizations, and individuals attempt to "own" the secular to manage cultural differences, shore up group identity, and stake a claim to some version of Western values amidst the growing uncertainties of neoliberal capitalism. 650 0 $a Symbolism. 650 7 $a Symbolism. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01140749 655 7 $a Informational works. $2 lcgft 830 0 $a Routledge focus on religion. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117020012.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=1612D170BFA611ECA5AD8FDE3CECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
