Faith at Suicide : Lives in Forfeit - Violent Religion - Human Despair
ISBN: 9781845191108 / Angielski / Miękka / 180 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Purposeful suicide in contemporary Islam and the deep pathos in its frequency for religious ends is the main impulse to the topic of Faith at Suicide. The Islamic phenomenon needs to be set in a wider context which reckons with suicide s incidence elsewhere, with its uneasy associations in martyrdom and with how it interrogates or is interrogated by the ethics of religious faith.

But they were never...

Nothing Happened: Charlotte Salomon and an Archive of Suicide
ISBN: 9780472118557 / Angielski / Twarda / 412 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Charlotte Salomon's (1917-43) fantastical autobiography, Life? or Theater?, consists of 769 sequenced gouache paintings, through which the artist imagined the circumstances of the eight suicides in her family, all but one of them women. But Salomon's focus on suicide was not merely a familial idiosyncrasy. Nothing Happened argues that the social history of early-twentieth-century Germany has elided an important cultural and social phenomenon by not including the story of German Jewish women and suicide. This absence in social history mirrors an even larger gap in the...

Suicide: Closing the Exits
ISBN: 9781412851695 / Angielski / Miękka / 151 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Suicide prevention is a major goal of the Public Health Service of the US government. This has been the case since the 1960s when the National Institute of Mental Health established a center for the study and prevention of suicide. Since then, however, the knowledge and research gathered has not bought about the reduction of suicide. This volume was written to change this trend. This book reports a program of research concerned with preventing suicide by restricting access to lethal agents, such as guns, drugs, and carbon monoxide. It may seem implausible that deeply unhappy people could be...
