数字技术的发展不断延续逝者在社会中存在的时间和影响。数字遗产作为一种新型媒介形式正在重构用户生前逝后的媒介实践,年轻一代更愿意对自己的数字遗产进行生前管理,有选择地封存一个“数字自我”留置于网络空间。在这一过程中,数字遗产发挥着作为情感媒介、表演媒介与记忆媒介的功能,影响生者与逝者的数字交往。

The development of digital technology continues to extend the time and impact of the presence of the deceased in society.Digital heritage,as a new form of media,is reconstructing the media practice after the death of users,and the younger generation is more willing to manage their digital heritage in life and selectively store a“digital self”in cyberspace.In this process,digital heritage plays a role as emotional media,performance media and memory media,affecting the digital communication between the living and the dead.
