u2 conference: Rachel Seiler Impact of U2′s music on listener
Exploring the marriage of critical reflection and action for change. Uses qualitative study ie narrative methods and content analysis.
The story is a basic meaning-making device. Presents a composite story (a trailer for the film). Overwhelming “composite” evidence that U2′s music does change listener’s consciousness and activism. Eg: If you see the world, you then ask: Why? What am I doing?

is well worth investing in. (Make sure you order the paperback edition, because the hardcover price is simply ridiculous). The book gathers readings from across the centuries - 20th century, Syriac, Early Greek, Latin, Orthodox, Mystical, and across a rich range of genre - theology texts, sermons, songs, liturgy, even art works. Each reading is helpfully introduced by editor, Eugene Rogers.
