This book investigates the language created and used on social
media to express and respond to personal experiences of illness,
dying and mourning. The authors begin by setting out the
established and recent research on social and existential media,
affect and language, before focusing on Facebook groups dealing
with the illness and death of two Danish children. Through these
in-depth case studies, they produce insights into different ways of
engaging in affective processes related to illness and death on
social media, and into both the ritualized and innovative
vernacular vocabulary created through these encounters. Developing
an analytical framework for understanding the social role and
logics of "affective language" (such as emojis, interjections and
other forms of expressive interactive writing), The Language of
Illness and Death on Social Media will be of great interest to all
those striving to understand the affective importance and roles of
language for sharing experiences of illness, death and
commemoration in these spheres.
