In this first lengthy treatment of Mormon identities as they intersect with their religious institution, the internet, and modernity during the so-called \"Mormon Moment,\" Rosemary Avance explores how LDS stakeholders challenged traditional notions of what it means to be Mormon, vying for control of their own public narratives. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eMediated Mormons\u003c\/i\u003e uses a case study approach to consider various iterations of Mormon identity as presented by church authorities, faithful members, the secular media, and heterodox and former adherents. These often-conflicting perspectives challenge traditional models of LDS authority, dismantling a monolithic view of Mormons and offering a window into processes of social activism and institutional change in the internet era.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Rosemary Avance\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1647692067\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781647692063\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Utah Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/27\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 216\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs","brand":"Rosemary Avance","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46451192889599,"sku":"9781647692063","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c6bb7e2f-90df-438c-9178-093cf61aeb98.jpg?v=1735876733","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/mediated-mormons-rosemary-avance-9781647692063","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
