Tiempo suspendido and the Ethics of Documentary Filmmaking Featuring People Living with Dementia --$tContributors --$tIndex 330 $aMemory loss is not always viewed purely as a contingent neurobiological process present in an ageing population; rather, it is frequently related to larger societal issues and political debates. This edited volume examines how different media and genres - novels, auto/biographical writings, documentary as well as fictional films and graphic memoirs - represent dementia for the sake of critical explorations of memory, trauma and contested truths. In ten analytical chapters and one piece of graphic art, the contributors examine the ways in which what might seem to be the individual, ahistorical diseases of dementia are used in contemporary cultural texts to represent and respond to violent historical and political events - ranging from the Holocaust to postcolonial conditions - all of which can prove difficult to remember. Combining approaches from literary studies with insights from memory studies, trauma studies, anthropology, the critical medical humanities and media, film and comics studies, this volume explores the politics of dementia and incites new debates on cultures of remembrance, while remaining attentive to the lived reality of dementia. 410 0$aMedia and Cultural Memory / Medien und Kulturelle Erinnerung 606 $aSOCIAL SCIENCE / General$2bisacsh 610 $aPolitical dimension of dementia. 610 $acultural dimensions of forgetting, disavowal and repression. 610 $adementia and history. 610 $adementia and the holocaust. 615 7$aSOCIAL SCIENCE / General. 702 $aDeng$b Maohui$4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aGwyer$b Kirstin$4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aKrüger-Fürhoff$b Irmela Marei$4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aKrüger-Fürhoff$b Irmela Marei$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aLucenko$b Kristina$4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aMedina Ban?o?n$b Raquel$4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aSchmidt$b Nina$4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aSchmidt$b Nina$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aThew$b Emily$4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aVermeulen$b Pieter$4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aVice$b Sue$4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aVice$b Sue$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aWalrath$b Dana$4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aZimmermann$b Martina$4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996449434303316 996 $aThe Politics of Dementia$92838815 997 $aUNISA
