Potentialities of Care in Dementia Worlds
Advertisement
What is the relationship between care, potentiality and world in life with dementia?
In Fischer and Tronto’s famous definition, care “includes everything we do to maintain, continue and repair our ’world’ so that we can live in it as well as possible.” But what happens to care, when life circumstances – such as a dementia disease – brings about unexpected ways of being in and experiencing the world? When our worlds become otherwise and perhaps begin to drift apart? What kinds of care are called for in such cases where it is the very possibility of even sharing a world that is at issue?
- What is the role of creativity and world-building in life with dementia, and how do we recognize the potentialities of diverse kinds of world-building?
- What is the relationship between worldhood and personhood?
- What is the role of corporeal and cognitive difference and intercorporeality in the constitution of the worlds in which life with dementia is lived?
- What is the role of normality and interruptions of normality in the constitution of the worlds in which life with dementia is lived?
- How are other-than-human modes of being-in-the-world entangled in the constitution of the worlds in which life with dementia is lived?
