| Abstract | Desiring to relate the Catholic Church to the modern world, the Second Vatican Council marked an era of upheaval in Christendom. It challenged churches to be involved in contemporary society, even by utilizing broadcast media. Given the importance of this universal call, this study sought to explore Catholic media productions made in the Philippine Church by analyzing the music videos produced by Jesuit Communication Foundation as representations of Philippine Jesuit spirituality. With an understanding that spirituality is an ideological force that informs the multimodal elements employed in faith-based productions, textual analysis was used to deduce what existing representations of Philippine Jesuit spirituality are in the music videos. As a result, four kinds of representations were drawn: a spirituality that is joyful, tangible, missionary, and just. Despite these differences, though, all these themes point to a depiction of the spirituality as one that is incarnational — viewing the human person, their narratives, experiences and very being, as a medium of divine action. As such, compared to other local Catholic media productions, which are often liturgical in nature, this ideological core causes these music videos to be unique in its humanistic and world-affirming portrayals of spirituality. |
