New means of commemorating, > remembering, forgetting, interacting with and even denigrating the dead have > emerged in online contexts, from online memorial sites, to new conventions of > public mourning, to Facebook users continuing to post on the walls of > deceased friends, to speculative new technologies that will create > interactive avatars of the dead. Such practices raise important questions > about the ontological, ethical, and social standing of the > electronically-mediated dead and the digital 'remains' in which they are > instantiated. > > This workshop aims to bring together researchers working on this topic from a > range of interdisciplinary perspectives, including philosophy, media studies, > cultural studies and sociology. A small number of speaking slots are still > available and the deadline has now been extended: prospective speakers are > asked to email a short (<300 word) summary to [email protected] by > Friday 26th September. > > If you would like to attend this workshop please email Neil Henderson > ([email protected]); attendance is free but registration is required for > catering purposes. > > This event is being held as part of "Online Interactions with the Dead" > (http://www.deakin.edu.au/arts-ed/centre-for-citizenship-and-globalisation/research/research-grants/deakin-grants), > a one-year research project funded by Deakin University.
