We No Longer Recognized Her as a Human Being
Motivated by the gender inequalities observed in relation both to dementia and generative artificial intelligence (GenAI), this article takes a critical discourse analysis approach to explore how gender and dementia intersect in 52 AI-generated character descriptions of men and women with dementia. Using “woman/man” as entry points through which to explore discursive constructions masculinities and femininities in the data, we find gendered disti…
Visualizing dementia and stigma
Discursive choices are recognized by both academic and dementia communities as being central to the perpetuation (or challenging) of dementia-related stigma. Yet, the focus of the vast majority of research on the discursive dynamics of dementia stigma to date has been on the role of language only, effectively failing to regard the multimodal reality of discourse. The present study aims to address this gap by conducting a scoping review of the sma…
Artificial intelligence and visual discourse
This article examines the ideologies reproduced in AI-generated images, focusing in particular on representations of dementia. Utilising Stable Diffusion version 1.4, a text-to-image AI model, we conduct a multimodal critical discourse analysis of 171 images generated from the text prompt “dementia.” Our analysis aims to identify and contextualise the visual discourses within the generated images by comparing these with existing multimodal repres…

Existing literature highlights the gendered worlds of children’s toys, Lego City and Friends included, which target boys and girls respectively. The current article critically examines City and Friends home pages, since these act as a concise introduction to their online and offline spheres. I am particularly interested in how the two home pages differently summarise the sets and represent ‘reality’ for users; by this, I refer to the toys’ relati…
