The arrhythmia of bodily urgency: Using rhythmanalysis to understand the organisation of care people living with dementia experience within acute hospital wards
This article posits Henri Lefebvre's concept of Rhythmanalysis as a novel methodology for observing and understanding the everyday life of the hospital ward and its consequences. To do so we draw on observational data taken across three multi-site studies of acute NHS hospital wards in England and Wales (22 wards across 12 hospitals) between 2015 and 2023. Our analysis of the rhythms of the ward, and of the arrhythmias patients can produce, allow…
Privileges, and Permissions: Theorising Intersectionality and Cultures of Control in the Care of People Living With Dementia in Acute Hospital Settings
A longstanding body of public enquiries and research identifies people living with dementia experience systemic inequalities within hospital settings, concluding a focus on improving care cultures is required. Drawing on a 3-year multi-sited hospital ethnography, this paper examines everyday cultures of care in NHS acute hospital wards to interrogate how ethnicity, gender and social class intersects to shape the care of people living with dementi…
Personhood as projection: The value of multiple conceptions of personhood for understanding the dehumanisation of people living with dementia

PLWD are at s…
Presentation of the clothed self on the hospital ward: An ethnographic account of perceptual attention and implications for the personhood of people living with dementia
This study contributes to our understanding of the 'medical gaze' and its impact on the ways in which people living with dementia experience care during a hospital admission. Visual perception has a powerful effect on our emotional and moral reactions to others. One aspect of how we perceive and respond to others is through clothing, which relates strongly to class and social position. Our focus is on exploring the ways in which patient clothing …
