Abstract

Suicide has been a focus for sociology and sociological debate since Durkheim's (1952) innovative theoretical and methodological work on that topic. This paper is not about suicide. It is however situated in the methodological and epistemological debate which stemmed from Durkheim's work and has made that topic of 'suicide' the contingent centre of more than one significant shift in the development of sociology. I take up the dialogue at that point where it has been shaped by the work of Garfinkel (1967), Douglas (1967) and Atkinson (1979), who have moved away from a concern with the social determinants of suicide and rates of suicide to the problem of the social meanings of suicide and the socially organized forms of knowledge which constitute it as such.
