This book investigates how social media are reconfiguring dying,
death, and mourning. Taking a narrative approach, it argues that
dying, death, and mourning are shared online as small stories of
the moment, which are organized around transgressive moments and
events with motivational, participatory, or connective scope.
Through the different case studies discussed, this book presents an
empirical framework for analyzing small stories of dying, death and
mourning as practices of sharing which become associated with
specific modes of affective positioning, i.e. modulations of
different degrees of distance or proximity to the death event and
the dead, the networked audience(s), and the affective self. The
book calls for the study of affect as integral to narrative
activity and opens up broader questions about how stories and
emotion are mobilized in digital cultures for accruing audiences,
value (social or economic), and visibility. It will be of interest
to researchers in narrative analysis, the anthropology and
sociology of emotion, digital communication, media and cultural
studies, and (digital) death and dying.
