Digital eternities. Post-mortem digital identity from a semio-pragmatic perspective

Éternités numériques – Perspective sémiopragmatique sur l'identité numérique post mortem

Abstract

Nowadays, the persistence of digital data after the death of the user changes the way digital self-presentation data may be perceived. Using a pragmatic semiotic approach, we consider social discourse as constitutive acts of social relations and place strong emphasis on the technical dimension of the objects supporting communication phenomena (Meunier & Peraya, 2004). This paper proposes to analyse the system of personal data constituting the digital profile of a living or deceased user as a semiotic pattern. We have followed a qualitative rather than quantitative approach, examining in depth a limited quantity of relevant web profiles. The results show how the digital identity model modifies the frame of the living user’s digital identity.
