Abstract:

What is suicide? When does suicide start and when does it end? Who is
involved? Examining narratives of suicide through a discourse analytic
framework, "Discursive Constructions of the Suicidal Process" demonstrates how
linguistic theories and methodologies can help answer these questions and cast
light upon what suicide involves and means, both for those who commit an act
and their loved ones.

Engaging in close analysis of suicide letters written before the act and
post-hoc narratives from after the event, this book is the first qualitative
study to view suicide not as a single event outside time, but as a
time-extended process. Exploring how suicide is experienced and narrated from
two temporal perspectives, Dariusz Galasinski and Justyna Ziólkowska introduce
discourse analysis to the field of suicidology. Arguing that studying suicide
narratives and the reality they represent can add significantly to our
understanding of the process, and in particular its experiences and meanings,
"Discursive Constructions of the Suicidal Process" demonstrates the value of
discourse analytic insights in informing, enriching and contextualising our
knowledge of suicide.
