在这项研究中，我研究了四个网络纪念馆，以探索互联网上记忆的物质结构。利用布莱尔关于纪念馆修辞重要性的论点，我试图以单独制作的网络纪念馆的形式了解人们对 9/11 事件的民间反应。我认为，白话网络纪念馆包含双重修辞功能，即纪念馆本身以及其他国家纪念馆中发现的朝贡标记。此外，网站管理员的纪念馆强调了叙事记忆的白话策略，让人回想起 9/11 事件后的个人反应和行动呼吁。互联网既促进了民间纪念活动的使用，又通过商业注册域名的使用阻碍了这种活动。首先，网络纪念馆以网环的形式协助创建本土纪念社区。然而，其次，数字纪念碑的耐久性因其潜在的短暂性而受到其所采取的形式的挑战。
In this study, I examine four web memorials to explore the material construction of memory on the internet. Using Blair's arguments about the rhetorical materiality of memorials, I seek to understand the vernacular responses to 9/11 in the form of individually crafted web memorials. I argue that vernacular web memorials contain dual rhetorical functions of being memorials themselves as well as the tributary markers found at other national monuments. Additionally, webmastered memorials highlight the vernacular strategies of narrative memory, which recall the individual responses and calls to action after 9/11. The internet both fosters the use of vernacular commemoration and hampers it through the use of commercially registered domain names. First, web memorials assist in the creation of vernacular commemorative communities in the form of web-rings. Second, however, the durability of the digital monuments is challenged by the very form they take due to their potentially ephemeral nature.
