Despite acknowledgement that suicide notes are social texts, there has been no book which analyzes suicide notes as discursive texts and no attempt at a qualitative discourse analysis of them. \u003ci\u003eDiscourses of Men's Suicide Notes\u003c\/i\u003e redresses this gap in the literature.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFocussing on men and masculinity and anchored in qualitative discourse analysis, Dariusz Galasinski responds to the need for a more thorough understanding of suicidal behaviour. Culturally, men have been posited to be 'masters of the universe' and yet some choose to end their lives. This book takes a qualitative approach to data gathered from the Polish Corpus of Suicide Notes, a unique repository of over 600 suicide notes, to explore discourse from and about men at the most traumatic juncture of their lives. Discussing how men construct suicide notes and the ways in which they position their relationships and identities within them, \u003ci\u003eDiscourses of Men's Suicide Notes\u003c\/i\u003e seeks to understand what these notes mean and what significance and power they are invested with.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Dariusz Galasinski\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1350109029\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781350109025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Academic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/18\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 216\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.67lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.45d","brand":"Dariusz Galasinski","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47965212934399,"sku":"9781350109025","price":46.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_665a511c-b00a-4fff-bfc0-f4d8562bc922.jpg?v=1767279182","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/discourses-of-mens-suicide-notes-dariusz-galasinski-9781350109025","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
