Drawing in Ethnography
In this article, I present how drawing offers valuable ethnographic possibilities in care settings where verbal communication is challenging. The empirical examples derive from a study where I drew in situ in dementia care units to explore what residents and staff members found important in their everyday practices. I demonstrate how experimenting with the drawing process as well as the resulting drawings enabled diverse forms of participation to…
Drawing in-situ
This article brings methodological insight into in-situ drawings as representations of daily life with dementia. As part of ethnographic fieldwork in dementia care units in a nursing home, drawings were made on site by a researcher. We suggest that the ambiguity of in-situ drawings, and the ensuing possibilities to disambiguate them, is valuable. Inspired by Asdal and Moser's (2012) concept of 'contexting,' we experimented with arranging the draw…
About the cover artist
The front cover features an illustration made by Helena Cleeve. The illustration, which was created particularly for this special issue seeks to outline how care practices may simultaneously enact diverging and contradictory realities. Care may be reparative, creative and transformative but also constricting, selective, and derivative
(In)visible materialities in the context of dementia care
Seemingly mundane materialities are intertwined with important, but often neglected, care interactions. It has been argued that if healthcare professionals paid more attention to the roles materialities can have, everyday routines could become important occasions for care. In response to such proposals, we argue that it is relevant to examine how materialities are currently understood. In this article, we explore materialities as part of work in …
Markings
This visual essay discusses material markings in a nursing home and the boundaries and borders negotiated by them. Based on participant observations made through in-situ drawings in three dementia care units, I present two types of markings. The first kind of marking involves how other people wrote the names of residents on things as a way to distinguish them. The second type of marking involves how residents reconfigured materialities in differe…
Not just things
While the study of objects in care contexts is an emerging research field, it is largely overlooked in end of life (EoL) care. In this study, we empirically and inductively explore the roles of objects at the EoL from the perspective of bereaved family members. Open individual interviews were conducted with 25 family members recruited from palliative in-patient and homecare units, as well as residential care facilities. After verbatim transcripti…
