商品描述

This volume is the continuation of the book Suicide in Modern Literature, edited by Josefa Ros Velasco. Considering the positive reception of this book, Ros Velasco launches the second part, entitled The Contemporary Writer and their Suicide. This time, leading representatives of various disciplines analyze the literary, philosophical, and biographical works of contemporary writers worldwide who attempted to commit suicide or achieved their goal, looking for covert and overt clues about their intentions in their writings. This book aims to continue shedding light on the social and structural causes that lead to suicide and on the suicidal mind, but also to show that people assiduous to writing usually reflect their intentions to commit suicide in their writings, to explain how these frequently veiled intentions can be revealed and interpreted, and to highlight the potential of artistic, philosophical, and autobiographical writing as a tool to detect suicidal ideation and prevent its consummation in vulnerable people. This book analyzes several case studies and their allusions to their contexts and the socio-structural and environmental violence and pressures they suffered, expressions of their will and agency, feelings of dislocation between the individual, reality, and existential alienation, and literary styles, writing techniques, and metaphorical language.

本書是《現代文學中的自殺》一書的延續，該書由Josefa Ros Velasco編輯。考慮到這本書的正面反響，Ros Velasco推出了第二部分，名為《當代作家與他們的自殺》。這次，各領域的主要代表將分析全球當代作家的文學、哲學和傳記作品，這些作家曾試圖自殺或達成其目標，尋找他們在作品中隱含和明顯的意圖線索。本書旨在繼續揭示導致自殺的社會和結構性原因以及自殺的心理狀態，同時也展示熱衷於寫作的人通常會在其作品中反映出自殺的意圖，解釋這些經常隱晦的意圖如何被揭示和詮釋，並強調藝術、哲學和自傳寫作作為檢測自殺意念和預防其實現的工具的潛力。本書分析了幾個案例研究及其對所處背景的暗示，以及他們所遭受的社會結構和環境暴力與壓力，表達了他們的意志和主體性、個體與現實之間的脫節感和存在的異化感，以及文學風格、寫作技巧和隱喻語言。
