What happens to migrants when they die? Inspired by the emerging academic literature concerning death in the context of migration and Avril Madrell’s (2016) deep mapping framework to study the geographies of remembrance, grief and mourning, I mapped the postmortem geographies of three migrants who lived and died in Quebec. This mapping process traced posthumous geographies through the stories told by partners and friends of the deceased.
Deep Mapping Postmortem geographies in the context of migration
By employing maps and stories, my paper provides insights about the complex dimensions of these postmortem mobilities. Further, it calls for alternative sources of information and forms of spatial expressions to continue the study of the geographies of death in the context of migration.
