Four Funerals and a Wedding: Suicide, Sacrifice and (non-)Human Agency in a Siberian Village
Original language description
The topic of suicide chose me rather than me choosing it. My doctoral fieldwork in the Altai Republic (South West Siberia) coincided with a chain of deaths in Kara village, of which two were, from my poin of view, suicides. A 20-year-old girl shot herself; she left a note requesting that she be nicely made up in the coffin. Her death followed that of a young man with whom she had allegedly been in love. A year after being released from jail, he shot himself following a drunken fight with his friends. This incident came shortly after the death of a half-paralyzed old lady. The interval between each consecutive death varied from ten days to a month and half, all in village with a population of no more than few hundred.
