Although death has been the subject of several interdisciplinary interpretations, it is still a matter of reflection nowadays. Asking questions about the relationship between death and youth offers a multitude of perspectives to explore. In this text, we examine the commemorative practices of bereaved young people. Our study is based mainly on a singular case of rituality lived in a group of young adults of 18-25 years. Through the narrative of the ritualization that followed the accidental death of one of the members of the group, we will try to understand how death and mourning are experienced when dealing with the loss of one of their own and what role social media can play in these circumstances. There is reason to believe that the rituals carried out by the peer group on the fringe of traditional funeral rites during burial and commemorative practices – such as the erection of a road marker – are part of the process of mourning and are in a way the expression of the taming of death which passes through group regeneration.

In view of the high attrition rates in distance education identified in our previous studies, we focus on peer interactions through the use of an educational social networking environment (ELGG) in three Canadian postsecondary institutions, using a design-based experiment methodology. Traces show that only about 40% of the students visit the environment at least once, and that only one fourth of them become frequent users. The main obstacles to participation mentioned by the 38 interviewees are the lack of participation by other students, the classical “cold-start” problem in social media, technical problems (connection problems and user problems), and concerns about time and flexibility. Students' suggestions aimed to facilitate participation or connections among students while increasing the associated value and rewards.

This article analyses the collaboration of poet Celerina Sánchez and musician Víctor Gally, the duo Natsiká (Ñuu savi [Mixtec] poetry and blues). Using a variety of intermedial resources, this duo focuses on sound in an attempt to make tu'un savi [mixtec] a recognizable language. We explore the remediation of two poems, “Nika'ín ɨɨn” and “Yo'ó ingáyu,” from the book-disc Káku ta'án (2019), as well as the intersemiotic translation between the media of the printed book (bilingual tu'un savi and Spanish writing), the Soundcloud with harmonica musicalization, and the video recording of their performance.
