Abstract

Objective of the Review: to analyze one of the most popular L. Tolstoy’s works “Anna Karenina” by showing that it illustrates classic and contemporary theories of suicide, starting from the sociological study of suicide by E. Durkheim. Key Points. The novel depicts four episodes of suicidal behavior: ego-dystonic thoughts (Lewin), suicide attempt (Vronsky), completed suicide (Anna) and volunteer fighters (Vronsky and other men going to war). The article draws parallels with four types of suicide according to E. Durkheim: anomic, egoistic, fatalistic and altruistic. Besides, the paper points out changes in worldviews of the main characters that happen after their mortality was made salient, which corresponds to Terror Management Theory in social psychology and works of cultural anthropologist E. Becker. In the end, we look at Anna’s presuicidal state from the point of view of Narrative Crisis Model of Suicide by I. Galynker. Conclusion. Thus, the novel “Anna Karenina” can help specialists in studying various theories of suicidal behavior, as L. Tolstoy carefully depicted the phenomenology of suicidal feelings and mechanisms of psychological defense from the fears of death, even before suicidology was established as a science. Keywords: suicide, Durkheim, Terror Management Theory, Narrative Crisis Model of Suicide, Suicide Crisis Syndrome.
《安娜·卡列尼娜》:自杀学研究
本文的目的:从涂尔干对自杀的社会学研究入手,分析托尔斯泰最受欢迎的作品之一《安娜·卡列尼娜》对经典和当代自杀理论的阐释。要点。小说描绘了四段自杀行为:自我失调的想法(列文),自杀企图(弗龙斯基),完成自杀(安娜)和志愿战士(弗龙斯基和其他男人去打仗)。这篇文章与涂尔干的四种自杀类型进行了比较:失范型、利己型、宿命型和利他型。此外,本文还指出,在主人公的死亡被凸显后,他们的世界观发生了变化,这与社会心理学中的恐怖管理理论和文化人类学家贝克尔的著作相对应。最后,我们从I. Galynker的自杀叙事危机模型(Narrative Crisis Model of Suicide)的角度来审视安娜的自杀前状态。结论。因此,小说《安娜·卡列尼娜》可以帮助专家们研究各种自杀行为理论,因为l·托尔斯泰在自杀学被确立为一门科学之前,就仔细地描绘了自杀感觉的现象学和心理防御死亡恐惧的机制。关键词:自杀,迪尔凯姆,恐怖管理理论,自杀叙事危机模型,自杀危机综合症
