尽管死后隐私的存在日益得到认可（例如保护数字空间中死者的存在），但其内部不稳定性却鲜少受到关注：其适用范围（应用程度）、正当性基础（我们最初为何要保护死者），以及不同司法管辖区间的表述不均（例如，部分司法管辖区可能容忍或认可在其他司法管辖区可能存在争议的做法）。本文通过阐明死后隐私概念引发的特定紧张与冲突点，揭示了该概念的内部多样性，这些紧张点统称为死后隐私的政治。为此，本文梳理了现有法律学术研究成果，将其与更广泛的文化、社会、历史及政治观察进行对话，通过三个不同分析维度阐释死后隐私的政治：欧美方法的跨大西洋分歧、数据保护治理中的欧洲内部紧张关系，以及全球南方的后殖民与后威权语境。现有文献已对前两个维度有所涉及，但本文主张后者应得到更多关注，并纳入死者隐私相关辩论。本文结合现有学术研究说明，死后隐私被构建为一种富有成效的规范，社会借此协商记忆与尊严，这对死者数据治理及信息流动具有重要作用。
英文摘要
While the existence of postmortem privacy is increasingly acknowledged (such as the protection of the presence of deceased within digital spaces), far less attention has been paid to its internal instability: its scope (the extent of its application), justificatory foundations (why do we protect the deceased in the first place), and uneven articulation across jurisdictions (for example, some jurisdictions may tolerate or endorse practices that may be contestable in a different jurisdiction). This piece unearths the internal diversity of the concept by illuminating specific points of tension and conflict that the notion of postmortem privacy evokes. These points of tension are collectively refer to as the politics of postmortem privacy. To do so, this paper organises existing contributions of legal scholarship, placing them in dialogue with broader cultural, social, historical and political observations to illustrate the politics of postmortem privacy through three different loci of analysis: the transatlantic divide between European and American approaches, intra-European tensions within data protection governance, and postcolonial and post-authoritarian contexts in the Global South. While existing literature has glimpsed toward the former two, this piece contends that the latter deserves greater attention and inclusion in the debates around privacy and the dead. The piece explains, in continuity with existing scholarship, how postmortem privacy is assembled differently as a productive register through which societies negotiate memory and dignity, which play a great role in the governance of data of the dead and information flows.
