SUMMARY:

This research has as its main purpose analyse, under the Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA), especially based on Norman Fairclough and Gunther Kress and Theo Van Leeuwen works, the representation of suicide in the American Netflix series 13 Reasons Why. It is chased, as specific purposes, reflect about how discourse practices act in the way to sustain or suspend the social structure to maintain the discourse domination of stereotyping, guilting, exposing, and silencing suicide. Considering the importance of discussing about it, as a social phenomenon, public health issue and human crises, I conduct this research in the way of the understanding social basis views of suicide, as from observation of social and discursive aspects, in view of elements in the representational construction of the aforementioned series signifying suicide. It will be considered, thus, the perspective, social distance, transnationality, modality, salience and symbolic conception in the discursive audio-visual construction (Kress and van Leeuwen, 2006 [1996]), as its modes of evaluation, named evaluation stance, category based on Fairclough (2003). Therefore, I will analyse the first season, for it on in the main character, Hannah Baker, consummate her suicide, besides mention the “13 reasons” for her self-provoked death. Based on the analyses undertaken, it is possible to notice how social structures become reproductive of prejudice, taboos, and stereotypes, which crystallizes and potentiates excluding and silencing behaviours against people considered “suicidal”.
