Human "ish" : voices from beyond the grave in contemporary narrativesDuncan, HeatherThis essay examines three contemporary genre narratives that explore the concept of life after death: an amateur digital "creepypasta" posted on reddit, an episode of the television series Black ... Mirror, and Paul La Farge's 2017 novel The Night Ocean. Using these narratives to explore near-future death rituals, transhumanist consciousness preservation, and the role of genre fiction in exposing the instability of narratives and the distributed nature of agency in digital environments, I argue that coping with the unprecedented complexity of life in the digital age requires a re-evaluation of what constitutes the self, the human, and the extent to which the narratives that inform these boundaries are permeable and capable of acting with their own agency.Source: Sci-Fi live (Vol. 15, no. 1, 2018, str. 83-97)Type of material - article, component part ; adult, seriousPublish date - 2018Language - englishCOBISS.SI-ID - 68697698
