Dear list-subscribers on AOIR: I am working on my thesis project which concerns a case study in a Danish virtual grief-community called Mindet.dk [English: The Memorial]. This community is a possibillity for bereaved to meet other people who have lost a beloved one. The website contains functions as a official guestbook, memorials, light a candle and private foras. In our contemporary society death and grief is such a taboo. I undertake a theoretical exploration of the ideas of community, death and griefing in our society, together with an empirical study of community on Mindet.dk in order to find out if the Internet can be a new space to fulfill a missing function in our society. I would very much like to hear from anyone who has experience or interesting thoughts about what social aspects (negative aswell as positive) the Internet can contribute to such a private theme as death and grief.
