Suicide Social Dramas

Life-Giving Moral Breakdowns in the Israeli Public Sphere

Beschreibung

Through an ethnohistorical chronicling of the emotionally-laden treatment of selected suicide media-events, this book offers a neo-Durkheimian account of suicide, addressing its social-moral threat and the ensuing need to gloss over its unsettling incomprehensibility.
