At fourteen years old, Second Life can no longer be perceived as the young, cutting-edge environment it once was, and yet it endures as a place of belonging, fun, role-play and social experimentation. In this volume, the authors argue that far from facing an impending death, Second Life has undergone a transition to maturity and holds a new type of significance. As people increasingly explore and co-create a sense of self and ways of belonging through avatars and computer screens, the question of where and how people live and die becomes increasingly more important to understand. This book shows how a virtual world can change lives and create forms of memory, nostalgia and mourning for both real and avatar based lives. | 出版日期 | Book 2018 | 关键词 | digital; social; mortality; new media; grief; digital kinship; second life; virtual world | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-76099-5 | isbn_softcover | 978-3-030-09402-7 | isbn_ebook | 978-3-319-76099-5Series ISSN 2634-6257 Series E-ISSN 2634-6265 | issn_series | 2634-6257 | copyright | The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s) 2018 |
