[Air-L] Facebook Grieving and bereavement

[Michael Richardson]

Hi Regina,

Here's something I wrote on absence and the digital that touches on Facebook, grieving and trauma.

Richardson, M. (2018). Radical absence: encountering traumatic affect in digitally mediated disappearance. Cultural Studies, 32(1), 63–80. https://doi.org/10.1080/09502386.2017.1394342 

Best,
Michael
