Through the relational production and circulation of personal narratives
about experiences with pain and loss, new publics are created while
networked subjects are negotiated. This colloquium addresses the productive
capacities of illness, disability, death, and dying, asking how individuals
use online platforms or other forms of new technology to both reproduce and
contest popular discourses surrounding these everyday phenomena.
