Dementia, Language, and Performative Force
This article considers the form of dementia conversation as it features in literary memoirs, in sociological and drama research papers, and in theatrical works, exploring the intersubjective nature of such conversation, and in particular the way that laughter serves to structure it and connect those who engage in it. In losing our ability to remember, we also lose our ability to expect: to anticipate and organize future time. Those with dementia …
The moment of truth
In his Preface to the Life of Rancé, Roland Barthes raised a set of questions about how to write about old age. A decade and a half later, proposing a new start for himself as a writer, he takes as his model Marcel Proust, a writer who rehabilitates the idea of pity in relation to ageing, and makes an encounter with old age a final turning point in his novel. The current reading of Proust, using Barthes’s thoughts on both old age and Proust as a …

The new form of death memorial that the obituary represents reflected a changing attitude to death, and a new phase in its relationship with fame. Many of the features of the present-day phenomenon of celebrity can be identified as emerging in the eighteenth century, a…
Celebrity, cultural production and public life
Translating Nationalism
Samuel Beckett transcribed in what he called his ‘Sottisier’ notebook Charles Parnell's comment, made to John Morley in 1890, that Ireland was ‘a very good place to live out of’.1 The writer's own
