Unhearing Online Suicide Talk: Becoming- Voice through the Use of Maddening Poetic Conversations

In this context, we retheorize maddening poetic conversations as an alternative structure to research poetry to grapple with naturally occurring data online.

Using online postings of young people bereaved due to the death of their peer, we described a reflexive, dialogical, and performative writing praxis through poetry as an alternative mode of analysis and presentation. As a methodological innovation, poetic conversations may hold a valuable space for multiple and conflicting perspectives on emotionally charged and culturally taboo topics like youth suicide. As a reflexive process, holding difficult spaces allow listeners to reverberate personal and social struggles in sense making and to communicate the emotional disruptions in navigating silent and silenced spaces of death and dying. 2020-02-01T08:00:00Z text https://archium.ateneo.edu/psychology-faculty-pubs/248 https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/10720537.2020.1727392?journalCode=upcy20 Psychology Department Faculty Publications Archīum Ateneo mental health suicide deleuze Psychology Social Media
