Haunting Hands looks closely at the consequences of digital media's
ubiquitous presence in our lives, in particular the representing,
sharing, and remembering of loss. From Facebook tribute pages
during public disasters to the lingering digital traces on a
smartphone of the deceased, the digital is both extending earlier
memorial practices and creating new ways in which death and loss
manifest themselves. The ubiquity of digital specters is
particularly evident in mobile media spanning smartphones, iPads,
iPhones, or tablets. Mobile media entangle various forms of social,
online and digital media in specific ways that are both intimate
and public, and yet the use of mobile media in contexts of loss has
been relatively overlooked. Haunting Hands seeks to address this
growing and important area by helping us to understand the
relationship between life, death, and our digital after-lives.
