Bücher der Reihe Sharing Death Online

This book investigates the language created in Facebook groups that relate shared experiences of illness, dying and mourning. It develops a theoretical and analytical framework for understanding the use and rhythms of emojis, interjections and other forms of "intensive" writing in social media of this kind.

Felicity Hamer explores how creative, and sometimes contested, incorporations of photography within online spaces demonstrate a revival and renegotiation of historic practices propelled by a desire to commemorate the death of a child.
