Abstract
This issue examines how digital technologies are reshaping contemporary relationships to death, mourning, and memory. It highlights the emergence of new mediated practices—such as online memorials, posthumous interactions on social media, and the online circulation of funerary rituals—that contribute to extending the socio-digital presence of the deceased and transforming the temporalities and forms of remembrance. The contributions explore the renewal of funerary rites, the reconfiguration of relationships between the living and the dead in digital environments, the staging of death online, and the transhumanist issues related to the persistence of digital data after death. Together, they show how digital technologies are redefining the social, symbolic, and ethical frameworks of the contemporary experience of death.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
