Muerte y nuevas tecnologías: reconfigurar las relaciones sociales en el escenario virtual

Abstract

This article provides a reflection on death in light of new technologies and its implications in social relations. The appearance of the Internet, with the consequent creation of information and communication networks in cyberspace, are changing the forms of socialization. As a social fact, death does not escape these changes, that is reflected, among others, in the presence of the subject in the clauses of incorporation into social networks, as well as in the emergence of a vast number of virtual platforms that offer different services associated with it, with the consequent repercussions on social ties, now virtualized.
