DESCRIPTION:"Soldier\nSuicide\, Intimate Governmentality\, and\nthe Shape o
 f Military Life"\n\nServicemember\nsuicide has for years now been a pressi
 ng concern of US military leaders and\nhealthcare providers\, politicians 
 and the civilian public\, and not least\,\nsoldiers themselves. The urgent
  and sometimes overbearing policy and cultural\nresponses to suicide have 
 themselves become a significant part of soldiers’\neveryday life. Conventi
 onal sociological and mental-health-based conceptions of\nsuicide tend to 
 treat it as a dysfunction that originates either deeply within\nindividual
 s or completely determines them from the outside. In Army life these\ndyna
 mics take the form of psycho-epidemiological efforts to parse the causes o
 f\nsuicide and aggressive\, anticipatory monitoring of “risky” behavior be
 lieved to\nbe associated with it. But they also metastasize into surprisin
 g everyday\nmanifestations: mutual obligations\, compelled attachments\, i
 ntimate aversions\,\nspeculative sympathies\, fantasies of escape\, and la
 bors of survival. This talk\ndraws on ethnographic research in US Army com
 munities to explore everyday ways\nof talking about\, imagining\, regulati
 ng\, and living with military suicide\, and\nit argues for the value of un
 derstanding these logics of suicide as\nsimultaneously institutional\, int
 erpersonal and subjective\n\nDr. Ken MacLeish is an Assistant Professor of
