About this product
Product Information
Haunting Hands looks closely at the consequences of digital media's ubiquitous presence in our lives, in particular the representing, sharing, and remembering of loss. From Facebook tribute pages during public disasters to the lingering digital traces on a smartphone of the deceased, the digital is both extending earlier memorial practices and creating new ways in which death and loss manifest themselves. The ubiquity of digital specters is particularlyevident in mobile media spanning smartphones, iPads, iPhones, or tablets. Mobile media entangle various forms of social, online and digital media in specific ways that are both intimate and public, and yet the useof mobile media in contexts of loss has been relatively overlooked. Haunting Hands seeks to address this growing and important area by helping us to understand the relationship between life, death, and our digital after-lives.

Reviews
The significance of mobile media is marked not by their ubiquity but by their deep embedding in everyday life, and evolving practices around of mortality, memory, and memorialization make this vividly clear. We could not hope for better guides to this complicated topic than Kathleen Cumiskey and Larissa Hjorth. Subtle and sophisticated, Haunting Hands shows in intimate detail how media connect us - and shape our experience at the same time., "I am haunted by this book. By the challenge to write a review that gives justice to the complex connections analysed. By the temptations to take the well-developed central concepts and apply them further. In Haunting Hands we see an anthropological and social-constructivist cross-disciplinary take on the omnipresence of mobile media in everyday life. The authors describe the basic importance of rituals for sensemaking and cultural embeddedness, and how the mobile devices (especially smart phones and tablets) become intimate companions. The authors develop a convincing argument about how our use of handheld devices is at once connected to tradition and established rituals and at the same time reshaping and reinventing those rituals." -- Stine Gotved, European Journal of Communication, "The significance of mobile media is marked not by their ubiquity but by their deep embedding in everyday life, and evolving practices around of mortality, memory, and memorialization make this vividly clear.

I am very pleased with the price of this new book (the lowest I found). I'm happy with the prompt shipping. The only problem was that the box was damaged during shipping. The new book itself sustained very minor cosmetic damage, no doubt from rough handling. The seller offered to send me a return label at no cost, which I do appreciate. However, I was able to repair the slight damage very easily. Thanks again for your concern.
