DESCRIPTION:Digital Word: new age gurus and the creation of scripture Looki
 ng at a particular guru\, Anandmurti Gurumaa\, and her engagement with mul
 ti-media technology\, this presentation takes as its premise the “traditio
 nal” idea that the guru's words are also Word (scripture) and it examines 
 how digital technology and the guru’s own innovations (in response to part
 icular audiences and markets) are changing the very way we encounter scrip
 ture today. We will examine how contemporary gurus disseminate teachings\,
  how audiences hear and see Word in various digital forms and in various f
 ormats through the gurus’ own multimedia websites (and via larger public d
 omains of YouTube\, Facebook\, Twitter) in order to observe how digital Wo
 rd\, even as it responds to a particular audience\, expands beyond that au
 dience opening itself up to ever new conversation partners. Included among
  the gurus’ audiences are textual and ethnographic scholars of religion\, 
 whose own location in the preservation of scripture today cannot be ignore
