The emergence of online social networks, where it is extremely easy to share text, image and video deeply changed the ways of communicating, especially among younger generations. Have these new technologies also transformed our relationship to death and bereavement? Have new practices emerged since the democratization of the Internet and smartphones? In this article, we examine two types of online reactions to death. First of all, how individuals show their compassion and mourning on digital social networks, and on the other hand, how the press and journalists create memorials for the victims of traumatic events (terrorist attacks, disasters).

Based on stories of ritual practices and rituals related to death, this paper shows how Facebook can play a central role in Indigenous mourning and death management practices. It focuses on the dynamism of Indigenous traditions and document the expressions of mourning and Indigenous conceptions of death observed in digital social networks. Far from being a break point, Facebook and the digital networks help strengthen networks of support, solidarity and exchange and participate in the redefinition of Indigenous visual heritage. The place of the body and its representations in these processes is also examined.

Facebook has not only changed the lives of young people, it also changed the way groups work with youth. Few years ago, Auberges du coeur started using Facebook to interact with youth, an experience that raised many questions. Ethical considerations were used to help teams establish guidelines on this new type of interaction with youth. This article presents the approach and the main findings of the ad hoc committee that carried out these ethical considerations on the use of social media in the Auberges.

The aim of our study is to describe the experience of mothers who have already used social media and/or the Internet to help fulfil their parental role towards their preschool-age children. Mothers turn to social media and the Internet for support (Jang & Dworkin, 2014; Nolan, Hendricks, & Towell, 2015). They state that they favor private groups of mothers to get information on development and care of children (0-5 years) in order to fulfil their role more adequately. This practice aims at reducing their anxiety. Social media and the Internet contribute to the informational, emotional and social support sought after, but may create pressure to meet the standards of the perfect mother or perfect child through social comparison of their parenting practices or their child's development. This finding illustrates the performance and perfectionism promoted in our Western societies (Curran & Hill, 2017).

La création de Facebook est venue changer la façon dont les gens interagissent, mais nous en savons peu sur les impacts de Facebook sur la santé et le bien-être. À l’heure actuelle, environ 90 % des adolescents sont actifs sur Facebook et la majorité l’utilise tous les jours. Sachant que l’adolescence est une période critique du développement et que lors de cette période les adolescents sont particulièrement vulnérables aux effets du stress, il importe de comprendre les facteurs pouvant entrainer une augmentation des hormones de stress chez les adolescents. Le but du présent mémoire était donc d’étudier la relation entre l’utilisation de Facebook chez les adolescents et des marqueurs de stress psychologique et physiologique. Pour ce faire, nous avons mesuré les hormones de stress chez …

This study aimed to analyze the student’s behaviour in relation to their degree of commitment, participation, and contribution in a MOOC based on a social learning approach. Interaction data was collected on the learning platform and in social networks, both of which were used in the third edition of a social MOOC course. This data was then studied via statistical methods and analysis of social networks. This study assumes that social communities would arise around the course, would remain over time, and that participants would even contribute with new proposals. The findings indicated that social learning communities are built and continue only while the course is open and while the teachers are involved in fostering participation. Although this study is limited, the design criteria of the course, the pedagogical model on which this is supported, and the methods applied for this analysis provide other researchers and educators with clues for better understand the dynamic process of social learning in social MOOCs.

How the French Television channels TF1, France 2 and M6 try to generate online comments dedicated to their programs on social media, and specifically about their video publications on Facebook? How social media managers adjust to the platforms’ constraints and to the editorial policies of broadcasting companies? A semiotic analysis of the “screen writing process” observed on the Facebook pages of those channels, combined with a study of the type of video published and the rhetoric speeches that accompanies them, figures out an effort to maintain an editorial line. But the rhetoric speeches we studied have less influence on online comments compared to platform devices’ effects on media’s communication limited to certain types of posts . If Facebook presents itself as an agora, it must be noted the weakness of the interactions between the administrators of the accounts studied and the Internet users, and the importance of social grouping exchanges.
