Postgraduate Research seminar: Hybrid Cemeteries: Dealing with Death - exploring the connections between people, places, and social media

Beskrivelse

The foundation of the project is a case study of Almen Cemetery in Aalborg; how it as an ‘urban deathscape’, is materialized, spatialized and culturally constructed today and by which arguments it can be considered a place of meaning, relevance and significance to the citizens now and in the future. From here a smartphone application is developed as a catalyst for new experiences of the ‘hybrid cemetery’. As a methodological tool its abilities to promote, invigorate and enhance the cemetery experience among diverse user groups are tested, followed by a discussion of the hybrid cemetery as a space and place in a time of increased social mobile technology and practice.
