{"product_id":"haunting-hands-mobile-media-practices-and-loss-9780190634988","title":"Haunting Hands: Mobile Media Practices and Loss","description":"\u003cem\u003eHaunting Hands\u003c\/em\u003e 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\u003cbr\u003edigital 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\u003cbr\u003edigital 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. \u003cem\u003eHaunting Hands\u003c\/em\u003e seeks to address this growing and important area by helping us to understand the relationship between life, death, and our digital\u003cbr\u003eafter-lives.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kathleen M.
