“Systems that make humans inhumane”
Nursing home care across world have predominantly undergone a progressive marketisation in recent decades, characterised by the dominance of neoliberal values such as productivity, profit motive among others. The looming economic costs and the social-political preferences for neoliberal values have placed the need to provide care for increasing number of older people with complex care needs low on government agendas. As the result, the experienti…
‘To me, that expressed a fear of funder’
Care practices are imbued with affect. Predominantly, affect is understood as something intrinsic—such as psychological dispositions, and subjective feelings, among others—that are personally experienced by the individuals involved in a caring circle. While this interpretation is true, affect also functions as an influential driving factor that shapes the social, political, and cultural realities of care experiences. The present article examines …
‘There were days I felt empty’
There is a world, invisible to many, of terminally ill people being cared for full time by a loving family member or friend. These caregivers are living with burdens and pressures that even regular visitors can miss. Stan Mack (Stan Mack in Sandra Lee Fenster's (2000), 'When a Comic Is Taken Seriously,' The New York Times)Care and labour are inextricably linked, particularly in the context of chronic illness, as caregivers often bear emotional, s…
This will keep me happy for weeks”
Looking beyond anthropocentric care relationships reveals nuanced levels of interdependence among human and non-human entities. Attention to these heterogeneous inter-relationships illuminates the subtle and visceral affective intensities among diverse participants, including humans, objects and the environment, among others. The interdisciplinary field of graphic medicine foregrounds these entanglements through comic affordances, challenging the…
Beyond wrinkles
Ageing, an inevitable biological process, is often oversimplified, subjecting elderly individuals to both positive and negative sociocultural stereotypes. Elderly individuals are stigmatised as passive, suffering and asexual, while simultaneously being expected to embody an active, successful and productive approach towards ageing. Departing from these narrow perceptions, this article draws examples from Zidrou and Aimée de Jongh's graphic narrat…
Re-imagining care in comics
As an existential practice, predicated on human interdependencies and labour, care attains remarkable significance in sustaining the life of the ill/disabled and is an indelible part of families and healthcare. Families, medicine, and institutional caring centres (such as old age homes, hospices among others) justify their commitment to care through emotional and practical/ technical approaches towards illness/disability. COVID-19 pandemic has ju…
Changing Configurations in the Portrayal of Doctors in Graphic Narratives
The figure of the doctor has always been surrounded by a heroic aura, warranted by the possession of hard-earned medical knowledge and the tenacious reliance on doctors’ ability to heal and emancipate from pain and suffering. However, recent literary and visual-cultural representations of doctors have unsettled the dominant and homogenized perception of physicians as heroes. Particularly, representations in mainstream books, popular media, and co…
Spaces of Care and Graphic Medicine
While there are several studies that focus on care settings in relation to verbal narratives, only a few studies have paid attention to how comics in general, and graphic medicine in particular, engage critical care environments and settings. Drawing strengths from the underground and alternative comics and capitalizing on health humanities, graphic medicine, a recent development in the comics genre, concentrates on the issues related to health, …
