Description

Why people kill themselves remains an enduring and unanswered question. This book develops a unique perspective linking the causes and meanings of suicidal practices to social processes across moments, lifetimes and history. With a focus on Sri Lanka, a country that has reported epidemic levels of suicidal behaviour for several decades, anthropologist Tom Widger draws from long-term fieldwork in a Sinhala Buddhist community to develop an ethnographic theory of suicide. Extending anthropological approaches to practice, learning and agency, the work foregrounds local knowledge and provides crucial insights into understanding suicidal behaviour within its cultural and social context. Published by Routledge as part of the Contemporary South Asia Series, this academic text offers scholars, researchers and students a comprehensive examination of suicide as a complex social phenomenon rather than simply an individual act.
