"In Undoing Suicidism, Alexandre Baril argues that suicidal people are oppressed by what he calls structural suicidism, a hidden oppression that, until now, has been unnamed and under-theorized. Each year, suicidism and its preventionist script and strategies reproduce violence and cause additional harm and death among suicidal people through forms of criminalization, incarceration, discrimination, stigmatization, and pathologization. This is particularly true for marginalized groups experiencing multiple oppressions, including queer, trans, disabled, or Mad people. Undoing Suicidism questions the belief that the best way to help suicidal people is through the logic of prevention. Alexandre Baril presents the thought-provoking argument that supporting assisted suicide for suicidal people could better prevent unnecessary deaths. Offering a new queercrip model of (assisted) suicide, he invites us to imagine what could happen if we started thinking about (assisted) suicide from an anti-suicidist and intersectional framework. Baril provides a radical reconceptualization of (assisted) suicide and invaluable reflections for academics, activists, practitioners, and policymakers."--

L'homme fait partie des vivants. Voilà, dira-t-on, une assertion des plus banales ! Elle recèle deux sortes de conséquences qui en montrent l'insondable teneur. La première est que le dire c'est le connaitre. Et le connaitre c'est faire montre d'une capacité proprement humaine, c'est être humain. L'homme est seul capable de connaitre et d'avoir finalement un discours sur lui-même... En cela, il est un homme. Voilà un fait remarquable qui guidera tout mon propos dans cet ouvrage. La deuxième conséquence de cette assertion est que, comme tous les vivants, l'homme va mourir....L'homme est un vivant - parmi les vivants - qui va mourir - comme tous les vivants - et qui, par le fait qu'il est humain, le sait. Voilà une donnée inédite qui plonge volontiers chacun dans un abime de réflexions, de peurs et quantité d'autres vécus intérieurs... Le présent ouvrage se veut un effort, bien maladroit, de « secondarisation », de mise à distance. Tout en recevant et embrassant la souffrance des uns et des autres, je tenterai d'aider chacun à se forger un habitus conforme à l'humanité de l'homme. J'en ai parlé plus haut, le fait de mettre en mots la question, si profonde pour l'homme, de sa mort est une manifestation de son appartenance à l'espèce humaine. Peut-être y a-t-il une manière encore plus humaine, dans le fond, de porter cette parole.
