Description
The ubiquity of digital media in our lives is particularly evident when it comes to representing, sharing, and remembering loss. Digital specters can be found in various forms of social, online, and digital media that are both intimate and public. This phenomenon has been overlooked until now, with mobile media playing a significant role in the way we experience and express grief. Haunting Hands examines the relationship between life, death, and our digital after-lives, exploring how mobile media is entangled with various forms of social, online, and digital media. The book sheds light on the ways in which digital media extends earlier memorial practices while also creating new ways in which death and loss manifest themselves. By understanding this complex relationship, Haunting Hands aims to contribute to a growing area of study that seeks to grasp the impact of digital media on our experiences of loss.
