Ethnoculturally-profiled care
This study was set out to explore the understanding of dementia as a culturally and socially shaped illness in order to illuminate such perceptions and experience in relation to ethnoculturally profiled dementia care in Sweden. The results indicate, contrary to many other studies (c.f. Conell et al 2009; Flaskerud 2009; Gray et al 2009; Hinton, Franz & Friend 2004) that the perception of dementia and the described meaning of the disease have litt…

Deciding upon Transition to Residential Care for Persons Living with Dementia
Previous research has shown how filial piety is strong among people of Iranian background and that traditional Iranian culture result in most families' preferring to care for their elderly (and sick) family members at home. While acknowledging this, this article highlights what living in diaspora could mean in terms of cultural adaption and changing family values. By interviewing people with Iranian background living in Sweden (n = 20), whom all …
Ethnographic methods for understanding practices around dementia among culturally and linguistically diverse people
This chapter introduces some general concepts and methods concerning ethnographic methods such as participant observations, the writing of field notes, video-ethnography and in-depth interviews. It analyses such methods with regard to dementia studies, revolving around people of varied cultural and linguistic backgrounds. The chapter provides the three authors' own experience – and pitfalls – as examples in order to discusses issues such as close…
Interaction and common ground in dementia
Previous research concerning bilingual people with a dementia disease has mainly focused on the importance of sharing a spoken language with caregivers. While acknowledging this, this article addresses the multidimensional character of communication and interaction. As using spoken language is made difficult as a consequence of the dementia disease, this multidimensionality becomes particularly important. The article is based on a qualitative ana…

Communicative disability and stories
In this article we show that persons with communicative disabilities are often involved in storytelling that does not necessarily conform to the conventional expectations of what constitutes a narrative. By analyzing the relationship between story and storytelling event, and the relation between what could be called the primary storyteller and the vicarious storyteller, we show that storytellers with communicative disabilities are often quite inv…
Would you like to use one of these or would you rather be able to talk?’ – facilitated and/or augmentative communication and the preference for speaking
This article examines the concepts of identity and personhood in relation to people with severe communicative disabilities. Data gathered at a Swedish day centre for people with acquired brain damage show that three main strategies in communication between able-speaking and impaired-speaking persons can be found: (1) perfunctory, (2) jigsaw puzzle, and (3) conjectural, all three strategies being based on the act of 'speaking'. This article shows …
Whose body is it anyway? Verbalization, embodiment, and the creation of narratives
This article examines the creation of narratives between people with severe disabilities and the personnel working with them. It shows that although a co-created narrative of what it means to be severely disabled ( the story of dependence) seems to prevail, another narrative ( the story of autonomy ) is also told, where the story of dependence is rejected by the person with disabilities. However, this story of autonomy only becomes clear if we re…
The Meaning of the Present
In this article, I consider narratives told within a clinical setting. I argue that personnel in a day center for people with acquired brain damage are constantly involved in narrating about the disabled participants. The negotiation of who the participant is, and foremost will be, is in constant negotiation in regard to issues of hope. I further argue that hope is a meaning-making process and, as such, it has been defined as crucially connected …
