Given the important role that social network sites play in online bereavement practices, we conducted a series of in-depth qualitative interviews to explore issues around inheritance and post-mortem data management of Facebook accounts. We found that participants focused less on ownership of the data, and instead on the duties and potential conflicts associated with maintaining an account post-mortem. Subsequently, we argue for 'stewardship' as an alternative to inheritance for framing post-mortem data management practices. Analysis of post-mortem data management activities highlights how stewards are accountable and responsible to the deceased and various survivors. However, weighing competing responsibilities is complicated by varied relationships with disparate survivors, as well as the inability to consult with the deceased. Based on our findings, we claim that post-mortem solutions need to account for the needs of stewards in addition to those of the deceased and survivors. We suggest that a model of stewardship better accounts for the interpersonal responsibilities that accompany online data than inheritance alone.", "proceedingsTitle": "Proceedings of the 32Nd Annual ACM Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems", "conferenceName": "", "publisher": "ACM", "place": "New York, NY, USA", "date": "2014", "eventPlace": "", "volume": "", "issue": "", "numberOfVolumes": "", "pages": "4157–4166", "series": "CHI '14", "seriesNumber": "", "DOI": "10.1145/2556288.2557059", "ISBN": "978-1-4503-2473-1", "citationKey": "brubakerStewardingLegacyResponsibilities2014", "url": "http://doi.acm.org/10.1145/2556288.2557059", "accessDate": "2014-05-07T19:10:12Z", "ISSN": "", "archive": "", "archiveLocation": "", "shortTitle": "Stewarding a Legacy", "language": "", "libraryCatalog": "ACM Digital Library", "callNumber": "", "rights": "", "extra": "", "tags": [ { "tag": "death", "type": 1 }, { "tag": "digital legacy", "type": 1 }, { "tag": "facebook", "type": 1 }, { "tag": "inheritance", "type": 1 }, { "tag": "qualitative study", "type": 1 }, { "tag": "social network sites", "type": 1 }, { "tag": "stewardship", "type": 1 } ], "collections": [ "M6GUD7RG" ], "relations": {}, "dateAdded": "2014-05-07T21:49:04Z", "dateModified": "2026-02-16T15:36:26Z" } }, { "key": "22M7T8DJ", "version": 157, "library": { "type": "group", "id": 263814, "name": "Posthumous HCI", "links": { "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/groups/posthumous_hci", "type": "text/html" } } }, "links": { "self": { "href": "https://api.zotero.org/groups/263814/items/22M7T8DJ", "type": "application/json" }, "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/groups/posthumous_hci/items/22M7T8DJ", "type": "text/html" } }, "meta": { "createdByUser": { "id": 1284030, "username": "brianckeegan", "name": "Brian Keegan", "links": { "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/brianckeegan", "type": "text/html" } } }, "creatorSummary": "Brubaker et al.", "parsedDate": "2013", "numChildren": 2 }, "data": { "key": "22M7T8DJ", "version": 157, "itemType": "journalArticle", "title": "Beyond the Grave: Facebook as a Site for the Expansion of Death and Mourning", "creators": [ { "creatorType": "author", "firstName": "Jed R.", "lastName": "Brubaker" }, { "creatorType": "author", "firstName": "Gillian R.", "lastName": "Hayes" }, { "creatorType": "author", "firstName": "Paul", "lastName": "Dourish" } ], "abstractNote": "Online identities survive the deaths of those they represent, leaving friends and families to struggle with the appropriate ways to incorporate these identities into the practices of grief and mourning, raising important questions.

That combined surge in column inches, and the consequent influence on public opinion by posthumous appraisal, has been accompanied by scholarly research into obituary publishing. Until now, however, quantitative studies of contemporary practice within the British press have been limited in scope. This article addresses that omission. Drawing on findings from the first large-scale study of its type, it examines 1183 obituaries published by the “quality quartet” (Times, Daily Telegraph, Guardian, Independent) over a three-month period (1 March to 31 May 2007), combined with interviews with obituary editors and writers, to determine: style and presentation factors; subject selection by gender and demographic description; the dominant form of reference applied in naming each obituary's central character; contemporaneousness of publication; and the extent to which cause of death is included in the text.

At the same time, though, there is a duty to present a complete account so that the cause of historical record is satisfied. In composing these posthumous studies, therefore, writers and editors frequently encounter an ethical dilemma in deciding what measure of intimate information should be revealed. The cause of death (particularly if self-inflicted) and the subject's sexual persuasion appear in this regard as questions of notable complexity. Then there is the matter of qualification for the page itself.

The new form of death memorial that the obituary represents reflected a changing attitude to death, and a new phase in its relationship with fame. Many of the features of the present-day phenomenon of celebrity can be identified as emerging in the eighteenth century, and we recognize all too well today the explosion of commerce and the new forms of deregulated media that produced this phenomenon. Death became 'news' in the context of the new transience and mobility of printed text, and the dead gained renown not only for historically momentous acts, or lasting works of art or intellect, but also for ephemeral skills and talents such as acting, singing, sports and eccentric feats of memory or agility. Celebrity — short-lived fame — became a feature of British society, and the untimely or dramatic death began to create as well as test this new kind of fame. The obituary plays a key role in this process, this article argues, and represents an important mechanism for introducing modern notions of fame and celebrity into British society.•", "publicationTitle": "International Journal of Cultural Studies", "publisher": "", "place": "", "date": "09/01/2008", "volume": "11", "issue": "3", "section": "", "partNumber": "", "partTitle": "", "pages": "259-275", "series": "", "seriesTitle": "", "seriesText": "", "journalAbbreviation": "International Journal of Cultural Studies", "DOI": "10.1177/1367877908092584", "citationKey": "barryEpitaphObituaryDeath2008", "url": "http://ics.sagepub.com.ezproxy.neu.edu/content/11/3/259", "accessDate": "2014-05-07T19:34:06Z", "PMID": "", "PMCID": "", "ISSN": "1367-8779, 1460-356X", "archive": "", "archiveLocation": "", "shortTitle": "", "language": "en", "libraryCatalog": "ics.sagepub.com.ezproxy.neu.edu", "callNumber": "", "rights": "", "extra": "", "tags": [ { "tag": "celebrity", "type": 1 }, { "tag": "death", "type": 1 }, { "tag": "eighteenth century", "type": 1 }, { "tag": "epitaph", "type": 1 }, { "tag": "fame", "type": 1 }, { "tag": "magazines", "type": 1 }, { "tag": "obituary", "type": 1 }, { "tag": "print journalism", "type": 1 }, { "tag": "providence", "type": 1 }, { "tag": "sport", "type": 1 } ], "collections": [ "M6GUD7RG" ], "relations": {}, "dateAdded": "2014-05-07T21:49:04Z", "dateModified": "2026-02-16T15:36:26Z" } }, { "key": "2CDC7I5A", "version": 156, "library": { "type": "group", "id": 263814, "name": "Posthumous HCI", "links": { "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/groups/posthumous_hci", "type": "text/html" } } }, "links": { "self": { "href": "https://api.zotero.org/groups/263814/items/2CDC7I5A", "type": "application/json" }, "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/groups/posthumous_hci/items/2CDC7I5A", "type": "text/html" } }, "meta": { "createdByUser": { "id": 1284030, "username": "brianckeegan", "name": "Brian Keegan", "links": { "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/brianckeegan", "type": "text/html" } } }, "creatorSummary": "Sanderson and Cheong", "parsedDate": "2010-10-01", "numChildren": 2 }, "data": { "key": "2CDC7I5A", "version": 156, "itemType": "journalArticle", "title": "Tweeting Prayers and Communicating Grief Over Michael Jackson Online", "creators": [ { "creatorType": "author", "firstName": "Jimmy", "lastName": "Sanderson" }, { "creatorType": "author", "firstName": "Pauline Hope", "lastName": "Cheong" } ], "abstractNote": "Death and bereavement are human experiences that new media helps facilitate alongside creating new social grief practices that occur online.

Results suggested that social media served as grieving spaces for people to accept Jackson’s death rather than denying it or expressing anger over his passing.

This shift is increasingly acknowledged and documented in death studies and media research. The modern experience of 'sequestered death' has passed. Death images and events are now thoroughly mediated by the visual and communication technologies used and accessed by a vast number of citizens across the globe. At the same time, the proliferation and accessibility of death imagery and narratives does not necessarily mean that the Western world has moved forward and beyond 'death denial'. Indeed, one of the key arguments of this paper is that mediated death - death as televisual, cinematic, and journalistic image and narrative - does not necessarily equate to a familiarity, and especially an existential acceptance of death, as it is faced and experienced in everyday life and relationships. Indeed, what we may be facing, and witnessing, is a widening gap and experiential differential between media/technological death culture and 'real life' contexts and temporalities of death and bereavement.", "publicationTitle": "Health Sociology Review", "publisher": "", "place": "", "date": "December 2007", "volume": "16", "issue": "5", "section": "", "partNumber": "", "partTitle": "", "pages": "415-424", "series": "", "seriesTitle": "", "seriesText": "", "journalAbbreviation": "Health Sociology Review", "DOI": "", "citationKey": "gibsonDeathMourningTechnologically2007", "url": "http://ezproxy.neu.edu/login?url=http://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&db=ccm&AN=2009801593&site=ehost-live&scope=site", "accessDate": "2014-05-07T19:17:51Z", "PMID": "", "PMCID": "", "ISSN": "1446-1242", "archive": "", "archiveLocation": "", "shortTitle": "", "language": "", "libraryCatalog": "EBSCOhost", "callNumber": "", "rights": "", "extra": "", "tags": [ { "tag": "Communications Media", "type": 1 }, { "tag": "Death -- Psychosocial Factors", "type": 1 }, { "tag": "Public Figures", "type": 1 }, { "tag": "Public Spaces", "type": 1 }, { "tag": "Technology", "type": 1 }, { "tag": "Television", "type": 1 }, { "tag": "bereavement", "type": 1 }, { "tag": "culture", "type": 1 }, { "tag": "death", "type": 1 } ], "collections": [ "M6GUD7RG" ], "relations": {}, "dateAdded": "2014-05-07T21:49:04Z", "dateModified": "2026-02-16T15:36:26Z" } }, { "key": "P4ZF563F", "version": 156, "library": { "type": "group", "id": 263814, "name": "Posthumous HCI", "links": { "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/groups/posthumous_hci", "type": "text/html" } } }, "links": { "self": { "href": "https://api.zotero.org/groups/263814/items/P4ZF563F", "type": "application/json" }, "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/groups/posthumous_hci/items/P4ZF563F", "type": "text/html" } }, "meta": { "createdByUser": { "id": 1284030, "username": "brianckeegan", "name": "Brian Keegan", "links": { "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/brianckeegan", "type": "text/html" } } }, "creatorSummary": "Brubaker et al.", "parsedDate": "2012", "numChildren": 1 }, "data": { "key": "P4ZF563F", "version": 156, "itemType": "conferencePaper", "title": "Grief-Stricken in a Crowd: The Language of Bereavement and Distress in Social Media.", "creators": [ { "creatorType": "author", "firstName": "Jed R.", "lastName": "Brubaker" }, { "creatorType": "author", "firstName": "Funda", "lastName": "Kivran-Swaine" }, { "creatorType": "author", "firstName": "Lee", "lastName": "Taber" }, { "creatorType": "author", "firstName": "Gillian R.", "lastName": "Hayes" }, { "creatorType": "editor", "firstName": "John G.", "lastName": "Breslin" }, { "creatorType": "editor", "firstName": "Nicole B.", "lastName": "Ellison" }, { "creatorType": "editor", "firstName": "James G.", "lastName": "Shanahan" }, { "creatorType": "editor", "firstName": "Zeynep", "lastName": "Tufekci" } ], "abstractNote": "", "proceedingsTitle": "ICWSM", "conferenceName": "", "publisher": "The AAAI Press", "place": "", "date": "2012", "eventPlace": "", "volume": "", "issue": "", "numberOfVolumes": "", "pages": "", "series": "", "seriesNumber": "", "DOI": "", "ISBN": "", "citationKey": "brubakerGriefStrickenCrowdLanguage2012", "url": "http://dblp.uni-trier.de/db/conf/icwsm/icwsm2012.html#BrubakerKTH12", "accessDate": "2014-05-07T19:15:53Z", "ISSN": "", "archive": "", "archiveLocation": "", "shortTitle": "Grief-Stricken in a Crowd", "language": "", "libraryCatalog": "www.bibsonomy.org", "callNumber": "", "rights": "", "extra": "", "tags": [ { "tag": "dblp", "type": 1 } ], "collections": [ "M6GUD7RG" ], "relations": {}, "dateAdded": "2014-05-07T21:49:04Z", "dateModified": "2026-02-16T15:36:26Z" } }, { "key": "GJB9HCA4", "version": 156, "library": { "type": "group", "id": 263814, "name": "Posthumous HCI", "links": { "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/groups/posthumous_hci", "type": "text/html" } } }, "links": { "self": { "href": "https://api.zotero.org/groups/263814/items/GJB9HCA4", "type": "application/json" }, "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/groups/posthumous_hci/items/GJB9HCA4", "type": "text/html" } }, "meta": { "createdByUser": { "id": 1284030, "username": "brianckeegan", "name": "Brian Keegan", "links": { "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/brianckeegan", "type": "text/html" } } }, "creatorSummary": "Brubaker and Hayes", "parsedDate": "2011", "numChildren": 1 }, "data": { "key": "GJB9HCA4", "version": 156, "itemType": "conferencePaper", "title": "\"We Will Never Forget You [Online]\": An Empirical Investigation of Post-mortem Myspace Comments", "creators": [ { "creatorType": "author", "firstName": "Jed R.", "lastName": "Brubaker" }, { "creatorType": "author", "firstName": "Gillian R.", "lastName": "Hayes" } ], "abstractNote": "The proliferation of social network sites has resulted in an increasing number of profiles representing deceased users.

Using 1.03 million revisions made by 158,384 users to 3,233 English Wikipedia articles about disasters, catastrophes, and conflicts since 1990, we construct \"article trajectories\" of editor interactions as they coauthor an article. Examining a subset of this corpus, our analysis demonstrates that articles about current events exhibit structures and dynamics distinct from those observed among articles about non-breaking events.
