Residues of Death - Disposal Refigured (Paperback): Tamara Kohn, Martin Gibbs, Bjorn Nansen, Luke van Ryn Residues of Death - Disposal Refigured (Paperback)
Tamara Kohn, Martin Gibbs, Bjorn Nansen, Luke van Ryn
R1,265 Discovery Miles 12 650 Ships in 9 - 15 working days

This book provides a critical overview of the changing ways people mourn, commemorate and interact with the remains of the dead, including bodies, materials and digital artefacts. It focuses on how residues of death persist and circulate through different spaces, materials, data and mediated memories, refiguring how the disposal of the dead is understood, enacted and contested across the globe. The volume contains contributions by scholars from a number of disciplines and includes a diverse range of case studies drawn from Asia, Europe and North America. Together they reveal how rapidly changing practices, industries and experiences around death's remains involve the entwining of digital technologies with other material and ritualised forms of commemoration, as well as with shifting boundaries between the sacred and the profane, the institutional and the vernacular, the public and the private.

Young Children and Mobile Media - Producing Digital Dexterity (Hardcover, 1st ed. 2020): Bjorn Nansen Young Children and Mobile Media - Producing Digital Dexterity (Hardcover, 1st ed. 2020)
Bjorn Nansen
R1,580 Discovery Miles 15 800 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

This book investigates young children's everyday digital practices, embodied digital play, and digital media products - such as mobile applications, digital games, and software tools. The book provides a critical and collective perspective on the ways young children's mobile media culture is currently being reshaped. The chapters draw on research that extends from the household to social media platforms and public spaces. Moving across these interconnected sites, this book explores how young children are currently configured as consumers, users, and subjects of mobile media technologies. These arrangements of media use are analysed through a conceptual lens of digital dexterity, which locates children's capacities to use mobile media interfaces and digital products not simply in terms of physical skills or developmental capacities, but importantly, through the design and affordances of mobile technologies and touch-based interfaces, cultures of interactive play and digital parenting, and economies of digital platforms and technology product design.
