This paper explores how theories of things can create new forms of agency for the dead. It considers how meaning is constructed through the use or translation of our diverse collections and environments online. These memorials and rituals offer a plurality of narratives, experiences and esthetics, which have the potential to give a wider scope for constructing a durable biography after death. The paper draws conceptual links between digital and physical materials and aims to expand interdisciplinary discourse around the way design can create new forms of legacy through rethinking the role of digital things in our lives.
本文探讨了事物理论如何为逝者创造新的能动性。它考虑了如何通过使用或翻译我们在网上的各种收藏和环境来构建意义。这些纪念物和仪式提供了多种叙事、体验和美学，有可能为死后构建更持久的传记提供更广泛的空间。本文在数字和物理材料之间建立了概念联系，并旨在通过重新思考数字事物在我们生活中的作用，扩展设计如何通过重新思考数字事物在我们生活中的作用来创造新的遗产形式的跨学科话语。
