[Air-L] Mourning on Mobile Media

[Larissa Hjorth]

Dear AiOR community
It was a delight to see so many of you in Brazil. What an amazing AoiR.

In my talk I mentioned my new book, Mourning on Mobile Media: Everyday Affective Witnessing (MIT Press). It explores how our daily mobile phone practices shape how we grieve and witness loss—from posting eulogies about personal bereavement to ecogrief and more-than-human loss. It also considers how mourning rituals can connect us to hopeful, collective actions. Find it here: https://mitpress.mit.edu/9780262553551/mourning-on-mobile-media/

There is an OA version. 😊

I acknowledge the Traditional Owners of the unceded lands on which I work and live — the Wurundjeri people of the Boonwurrung and Woiwurrung language groups of the Eastern Kulin Nation — and pay my respects to Elders past, present and emerging. Always was, always will be, Aboriginal land.
