- Abstract
- (en) This research is aimed at studying the spiritual and cultural imprint of some Websites, from the point of view of the history of the Christian catholic spiritual culture. The main hypothesis of this research is that the digital enunciation of religious orders on the web, destined to offer a digital space for prayer, resumes and extends spiritual traditions of enunciation, i.e. different ways to say the relationship to the Christian God that focus on different aspects. We observe with a comparative approach some French-speaking websites that emanate from four different religious orders: Jesuit (Our Lady of the Web, expression of the Ignatian family), Dominican (A retreat in the city), Carmelite (carmel.asso), Benedictine (Quebec Abbey Sainte-Marie des Deux-Montagnes). A diocesan Catholic site, Meeting Jesus (Bishops' Conference of France) and the site of a great Marian shrine, object of pilgrimage, that of Our Lady of Lourdes, which therefore fall outside of a religious order, are also studied to verify the differences from the other cases. This research is based on a qualitative and comprehensive approach and is made in a semiotic perspective. It shows a transposition of the spiritual traditions of Catholicism to the Web; this transposition is seen as a dynamic of conservation and new forms of representation within the online Catholic Christianity.
