The History of Suicide
A Salon in the Cemetery with David Lederer
A part of the London Month of the Dead
At the Dissenters Chapel, Ladbroke Grove, Kensal Green Cemetery
Though the act of self-killing may be timeless, “suicide” is a thoroughly modern concept that did not exist in any European language prior to the 17th century. The term entered common usage during the Enlightenment, when luminaries first defined it as both a modern pathology and a soluble social ill. “Suicidology,” in turn, was invented in the 19th century, when suicide rates became the leading indicator of moral statistics, employed to judge the general mental and social health of every nation in Europe.
David Lederer’s talk will explore the transnational genesis of suicidology, excavating its emergence as a central feature of intellectual, scientific, and medical debate and national health policy across Europe during the late-18th and 19th centuries.
