“…Death removes the ability of the deceased to speak directly to us (Davis 2004), but suicide is a form of death that challenges our ontological security (Seale 1998) and this, arguably, creates a need for meaning that drives a desire for continued dialogue with the deceased. Suicide research is a direct response to this need.…”

The gender‐based nature of suicide‐related behaviour is largely accepted. However, studies that report exclusively on female suicides are rare. Here we demonstrate how female suicide has effectively been ‘othered’ and appears incidental in studies which compare female and male behaviour. We highlight how recent studies of suicide have tended to be dominated by male‐only approaches, which increasingly link issues of masculinity with male death by suicide. Drawing on data collected from the general practitioner and coroner's office, we then apply the sociological autopsy approach to a cohort of 78 deaths recorded as suicides in the UK between 2007 and 2009. By focusing on females in isolation from males, we demonstrate that, as in male‐only suicide studies, it is similarly possible to draw out issues associated with the feminine identity, which can be linked to death by suicide. We find that bereavement, sexual violence and motherhood could all be linked to the lives and help‐seeking of the females who died. In closing, we suggest that a reorientation towards sociological analytic approaches of female suicide may help to produce further reductions in the rate of female death by suicide.

“…Se Agamben menciona os doentes mentais e os loucos, a função que eles ocupam no texto é de uma espécie de espectro que, no seu esquema de valoração das vidas, estariam, paradoxalmente, aquém dos muselmann, pois sequer tiveram espaço para articular -mesmo pelas palavras daquele que escreve -algo como um testemunho. Embora Agamben remeta a impossibilidade do testemunho aos muselmann, já foi observado que o autor, em O que resta de Auschwitz, em certo sentido, fala por eles (Davis, 2004) -e seu livro ainda termina com testemunhos escritos de alguns desses muselmann, mesmo que os relatos estejam relacionados à dificuldade de testemunhar.…”

O objetivo deste texto é problematizar o lugar destacado que o campo de concentração ocupa no pensamento do filósofo italiano Giorgio Agamben, especificamente nas primeiras obras da série Homo Sacer. Nesse sentido, retorna-se ao pensamento de Michel Foucault, nomeadamente em História da Loucura, identificando o Hospital Geral e o grande internamento à luz das noções de biopoder e poder soberano. Também analisamos como Agamben utiliza tais conceitos, questionando o espaço problemático que o filósofo italiano concede aos doentes mentais em O poder soberano e a vida nua, e as consequências de tal opção no restante do seu pensamento. Esperamos demonstrar que uma teoria sobre o biopoder e a tanatopolítica deve ter um escopo mais amplo, a fim de não omitir outras experiências do arbítrio.

“…Etymologically derived from two Greek words-prosopon (face or mask) and poiein (making)-prosopopoeia refers to a form of personification, or "making a thing act like a person as a fiction or disguise" (Johnson, 2008, p. 12). This trope has a wide range of rhetorical uses and effects: It can work as an act of mourning and testimony, keeping its focus on the past as it strives to bring the dead back to life and restore that which is irretrievably lost (De Man, 1979;Davis, 2004;Derrida, 1986, pp. 25-29;Keenan, 2018).…”
