Mathilde van Dijk Second supervisor: dr. Kristin McGee “Heal the world Make it a better place For you and for me And the entire human race There are people dying If you care enough for the living Make a better place For you and for me.” ‘Heal The World’, Michael Jackson (1991) ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This research has been made possible through invaluable input and support by several individuals. I would like to express my gratitude to all those who have guided me through the writing process of this thesis. First of all, I would like to thank Mathilde van Dijk, who has supported and motivated me both with her broad knowledge in the field of pilgrimage research and with her enthusiasm. During the writing process dr. Van Dijk helped me to structure my study and supported me with extensive feedback. I very much enjoyed our collaboration and it is our personal meetings and dr. Van Dijk’s thorough feedback that have made this study to the best possible outcome. I would also like to thank Kristin McGee, who has been a wonderful second supervisor and has provided me with helpful information in the field of popular culture. Moreover, dr. McGee has provided me with valid feedback both regarding the content of my study and my English. Furthermore, I would like to thank my family for the many brainstorm sessions and their assistance through personal feedback and support during the finalizing of this research. Last but not least, I would like to thank the Michael Jackson pilgrims who have contributed to this study. By participating to this research, these women have dared to make themselves vulnerable. I very much appreciate their willingness to open up to me and I find their personal stories truly inspiring. Through their accounts, these pilgrims have given me an insight in what it means to be a Michael Jackson pilgrim.

  • Virtual Homage to the Dead: an Analysis of Digital Memorials in the Social Web
    Virtual Homage to the Dead: An Analysis of Digital Memorials in the Social Web Aron Daniel Lopes, Cristiano Maciel, and Vinicius Carvalho Pereira Universidade Federal de Mato Grosso (UFMT) Laboratório de Ambientes Virtuais Interativos (LAVI) Av. Fernando Corrêa da Costa, nº2367 - Cuiabá/MT - Brazil -78060-000 [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] Abstract. Considering that many real-world cultural practices are now migrating to virtual environments, the expression of mourning and bereavement is also being imported to the virtual world, by means of the so-called digital memorials, supported by increasingly new and complex technologies. In this paper, we undertake a literature review on real and digital memorials, as well as social networks. Then, through empirical observation of digital memorials in Brazil, we investigate if they have characteristics of the social web. Next, by means of an interaction test and a questionnaire, we analyze how users feel when interacting with digital memorials and their evaluation on the functionalities of those applications. Finally, we approach the difficulties found when studying this kind of tools and our perspectives for future works. Keywords: digital memorials, social web, social networks, death. 1 Introduction In modern societies, digital technologies are increasingly embedded in our daily activities, thus changing the way we see the world and act upon it. That leads real- world social practices to migrate into virtual environments and acquire new meanings, including cultural expressions triggered by someone’s death. Death is an unavoidable event which entails both sacred and profane rites, most often performed by bereaved people. Among those rites, we can find wakes, funerals, burials, requiem masses, prayers and the building of memorials.

    OMEGA, Vol. 69(3) 283-304, 2014 DEATH ON THE DIGITAL LANDSCAPE: A PRELIMINARY INVESTIGATION INTO THE GRIEF PROCESS AND MOTIVATIONS BEHIND PARTICIPATION IN THE ONLINE MEMORIAM MICHAEL J. EGNOTO, PH.D. Student JOSEPH M. SIRIANNI, PH.D. Student CHRISTOPHER R. ORTEGA, PH.D. Student MICHAEL STEFANONE, PH.D. Uni ver sity at Buf falo ABSTRACT Increasingly, individuals are bonding and maintaining relationships online. These digital representations of ourselves allow us to connect with others in ways previously not possible. One behavior that is growing in online presentations of self is grieving after the death of an individual in our social network. This work investigates the outcomes of online grieving from a transcorporeal communication model perspective, and draws conclusions on the outcomes of online grief behaviors. All humans face loss and death. We face the loss of friends, family, partners, co-workers, and, eventually, we face our own transition from living to dead. In general, we hope that the transition away from life is after years of meaningful relationships and good living—however, this is not always the case. In the United States, roughly 50 out of 100,000 teens die every year. In other words, the death rate of teens can be represented as 1 out of 2,000 adolescents in the United States, 283 Ó 2014, Baywood Publish ing Co., Inc. doi: http://dx.doi.org/10.2190/OM.69.3.d http://baywood.com 284 / EGNOTO ET AL. or are slightly better than drawing a straight flush in a game of poker. Half of those deaths come from unintentional injuries, with the majority of the remaining deaths being comprised of suicides, homicides, and health complications (CDC.gov, retrieved August 2, 2012).
