Abstract
In her article the author reviews the preliminary results of her doctoral thesis, in which
she asks why online memorials are being created. Is the privatization of mourning
becoming more public in the 21st century? Does the popularity of internet mourning
tell us more about the coherent internet culture or about the diffusion of the
American (commercialized) death culture?
The author’s methods are virtual anthropological and her research material consists
of participant observation, three queries, online interviews, video and screenshot
documents. The material was collected during 2007 and 2011.
