Reply to comment by twovests in On life and how it ends [tw discussion of suicide] by nomorepie
i had previously read roche's other papers because i was interested in the link between language and nationalism. i speak hakka so originally i was reading work on hakka ethnonationalism. i haven't done any tertiary schooling but i've been interested in national identity formation since high school so this is just a thing i read for leisure. i often find that because i haven't done the foundational readings in an academic context that things go over my head and i have to read slowly but i find the challenge fun?
i didn't expect a reply or for you to read either article closely!! so it's fine!! thank you for your consideration!!!!

i don't have a recommendation beyond having connections outside america that would then spur you to decenter the usa then doing the whole we are human and connected and have a shared struggle thingy. like there's no point in joking about learning about american politics against my will, i have loved ones there and my local politicians get inspired by their us counterparts all the time.
god ok. so. the paper i read isn't even focused on the act of self-immolation itself but rather how language oppression is linked to death. in the context of necropolitics, the ways in which a government controls how people die (extreme simplification)(the 'killing' of a language and its deleterious effect on the speakers being above's thesis), ccp state surveillance removes typical avenues for protest such that people find themselves disappeared, jailed and/or extrajudically killed and their message erased, which is where self-immolation comes in as an act arresting enough to defy that. see here also. there's more to be explored in whether you see the act as violent or non-violent re buddhism and the ethics of its reproduction in how we (whether inside or outside of tibet/china) report on it and talk about its effectiveness.
not to crying emoji now but i'm not prepared to write an essay on this because i definitely haven't done all the reading and always feel lacking when asked to write. i hope i am making sense

yeah, i'm only the normal level of mad about the americentrism rn (more peeved). necessarily as someone outside the us and in asian spaces, the majority of suicides in protest i know have been related to tibet.

i've only read one paper (of the many existing ones) on self-immolation in tibet but simplifying them as "cheap an quick" really glosses over the oppression happening on multiple levels where a voice in actual tibetan can't even be heard
