ABSTRACT While dominant medico-psychological approaches in suicidology depict suicide as resulting from individual psychic/corporeal pathologies, suicides of minority groups are frequently understood in much suicidology as having social and cultural causes. At the same time, contemporary media, film, television and other popular cultural representation of suicides of both youth and minorities present an account of suicidality grounded in issues related to loneliness, isolation and disconnection from contemporary sociality. Problematic among these depictions is that ‘ways of being connected’ (and therefore what counts as a liveable life) are understood principally through white, western, older-generational perspectives of what social connection means and how it is recognised. At the same time, such approaches often problematically conflate and interweave complex concepts of loneliness, aloneness, isolation, disengagement, disconnection and disintegration in the representation of forms of suicide causality. In the context of queer youth suicide, this paper (i) examines some examples of popular stereotypes of “suicide-causing loneliness, (ii) undertakes a new critical reading of Durkheim and Joiner’s writings on suicide as related to social disconnection and (iii) deploys theories of networked connectivity and social relationality to determine their efficacy in understanding minority youth dis-attachment in relation to Judith Butler’s approach to grievability, liveability and social belonging.

主观连通性：重新思考少数族裔青年自杀话语中的孤独、孤立和归属感

摘要 虽然自杀学中占主导地位的医学心理学方法将自杀描述为由个体心理/身体病理学引起的，但在许多自杀学中，少数群体的自杀经常被理解为具有社会和文化原因。与此同时，当代媒体、电影、电视和其他关于青年和少数民族自杀的流行文化表现形式，以孤独、孤立和与当代社会脱节相关的问题为基础，对自杀行为进行了描述。这些描述中的问题在于，“联系方式”（因此什么才是宜居的生活）主要是通过白人、西方、老一辈关于社会联系意味着什么以及如何被认可的观点来理解的。同时，在表现自杀因果关系的形式时，这种方法常常会产生问题，将孤独、孤独、孤立、脱离接触、脱节和瓦解的复杂概念混为一谈。在酷儿青年自杀的背景下，本文 (i) 研究了一些流行的“导致孤独的自杀”刻板印象的例子，(ii) 对涂尔干和乔伊纳关于与社会脱节有关的自杀的著作进行了新的批判性阅读，以及 (iii)部署网络连通性和社会关系理论，以确定它们在理解与朱迪思·巴特勒 (Judith Butler) 的悲痛、宜居性和社会归属感方法相关的少数族裔青年脱离关系方面的功效。表现形式的自杀因果关系中的脱节和瓦解。在酷儿青年自杀的背景下，本文 (i) 研究了一些流行的“导致孤独的自杀”刻板印象的例子，(ii) 对涂尔干和乔伊纳关于与社会脱节有关的自杀的著作进行了新的批判性阅读，以及 (iii)部署网络连通性和社会关系理论，以确定它们在理解与朱迪思·巴特勒 (Judith Butler) 的悲痛、宜居性和社会归属感方法相关的少数族裔青年脱离关系方面的功效。表现形式的自杀因果关系中的脱节和瓦解。在酷儿青年自杀的背景下，本文 (i) 研究了一些流行的“导致孤独的自杀”刻板印象的例子，(ii) 对涂尔干和乔伊纳关于与社会脱节有关的自杀的著作进行了新的批判性阅读，以及 (iii)部署网络连通性和社会关系理论，以确定它们在理解与朱迪思·巴特勒 (Judith Butler) 的悲痛、宜居性和社会归属感方法相关的少数族裔青年脱离关系方面的功效。
