Discurso en torno al suicidio en Chichi Suárez, Yucatán

This ethnographic article analyses suicide from different points of view. First, it gives information about some of the elements that can influence on vulnerable individuals to commit suicide and states some of the means that are frequently used to reach this fatal end. Additionally, it focuses on the perceptions, beliefs and discourse that people from a small, periurban, yucatecan community have towards this phenomenon. Even though its descriptive nature, this work introduces some analytical considerations such as suicide, discourse, and the binomials life/death and goodness/badness.\ua
