Abstract

This work is a reflection on new social practices around death that are taking place on Internet, especially in social networks of Web 2.0. Thanks to the technological revolution, practices, values, beliefs and funeral rituals are de-territorialized, dislocated from their usual contexts of production, and are re-adapted in new ubiquitous environments where the cults of the dead and to his memory are reinvented.
