Suicidal people committed capital crimes with the explicit goal of “earning” their executions, as a short-cut to their salvation. Desiring to die repentantly at the hands of divinely-instituted government, perpetrators hoped to escape eternal damnation that befell direct suicides. Kathy Stuart shows how this crime emerged as an unintended consequence of aggressive social disciplining campaigns by confessional states. Paradoxically, suicide by proxy exposed the limits of early modern state power, as governments struggled unsuccessfully to suppress the tactic. Some perpetrators committed arson or blasphemy, or confessed to long-past crimes, usually infanticide, or bestiality. Most frequently, however, they murdered young children, believing that their innocent victims would also enter paradise. The crime had cross-confessional appeal, as illustrated in case studies of Lutheran Hamburg and Catholic Vienna.. | | 出版日期 | Book 2023 | | 关键词 | indirect suicide; child murder; secularization; history of emotions; Holy Roman Empire | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-25244-0 | | isbn_softcover | 978-3-031-25246-4 | | isbn_ebook | 978-3-031-25244-0Series ISSN 2730-9630 Series E-ISSN 2730-9649 | | issn_series | 2730-9630 | | copyright | The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerl |
