This book centres on self-accounts of suicidal behavior, using a Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) approach to offer a qualitative perspective within current suicidology and suicide prevention research.Suicide and the Self: A Discourse Analysis Approach to Self-Narratives of Suicide is the first qualitative study to explore suicide through the eyes of the person experiencing it. The volume is grounded in foundational CDA concepts, which view social reality as constructed through language and draw on data from real people’s writings, interviews, visual representations, and farewell letters to understand the discursive resources and linguistic patterns in these narratives from varied temporal perspectives.By focusing on how individuals construct their own stories, Galasiński and Ziółkowska show how a discourse analytic approach can enrich suicidological research and inform suicide prevention efforts. This book is essential reading for scholars in suicidology, medical humanities, allied health, and discourse analysis.

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.

An essential reference to the intersection of language and death and dying, this book presents an overview of the methodologies, current debates, history and future of research in language-related death studies.Adopting a highly interdisciplinary approach, the book explores a wide variety of phenomena and contexts of death and dying, examining language and discourse from linguistic, psychological, philosophical, and anthropological perspectives, among others. Divided into three parts, it considers three viewpoints from which death and dying can be understood: first-person, second-person, and third-person. The chapters cover an extensive array of topics, from presentations of death within social media and news reports, through to specific contexts of dying and types of death, including palliative care, assisted dying, suicide, and COVID-19. They also engage with data from across a range of national, cultural, and linguistic contexts, offering a broad international perspective.
