Digitalisation and the culture of dying

(Zusammen-) Leben in digitalen Welten

Digitisation and the culture of death

The Digital Afterlife Industry (DAI) enables the “living on” and interaction with digital representations of the deceased. It opens up far-reaching questions with regard to the culture of death, post-mortem personal rights and the contradictions between reverence and data economy.

(Living) Together in Digital Worlds

Philosophical food for thought

Digital technologies shape our present and have an impact on both individual lifestyles and social coexistence. However, technical developments are not forces of nature – technology can be shaped. The lecture series will provide food for thought for a successful life (together) in digital worlds.

The lecture series organised by Prof. Dr Susanne Hahn and Jonathan Seim as part of the Citizens’ University provides food for thought on shaping individual lifestyles and living together in modern societies. It is the result of a cooperation between CAIS Bochum – Research for the Digital Age -, Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf (HHU) and the Düsseldorf Institute for Internet and Democracy (DIID) and takes place as part of the HHU’s Citizens’ University programme.

The project “Digital Ethics” at CAIS is funded by Stiftung Mercator.
