  1. ‚Rückkehr in die Kindheit‘ oder ‚Tod bei lebendigem Leib‘? Ethische Aspekte der Altersdemenz in der Perspektive des Lebensverlaufs.Mark Schweda & Karin Jongsma - 2018 - Zeitschrift für Praktische Philosophie 5 (1):181-206.
    Unsere Sicht der Demenz ist von kulturellen Metaphern geprägt. Sie ziehen Analogien zu vertrauten Erfahrungsbereichen und eröffnen so ein Verständnis von einem ansonsten schwer fassbaren und letzten Endes unergründlichen Geschehen. In zeitgenössischen Diskursen über die Demenz spielen insbesondere zwei biographische Metaphern eine maßgebliche Rolle: die der,Rückkehr in die Kindheit‘ und die des,Todes bei lebendigem Leib‘. Der Beitrag unterzieht beide Vorstellungen einer kritischen Reflexion. Er erläutert zunächst die kulturgeschichtliche Herkunft und Bedeutung der Kindheits- und Todesmetapher. Im Anschluss geht er ihren Implikationen (...)

  • Death in Advance? A critique of the “Zombification” of people with dementia.Mark Schweda & Karin Jongsma - 2022 - History and Philosophy of the Life Sciences 44 (3):1-13.
    This contribution sets out to criticize the prominent metaphor of “death while alive” in the context of dementia. We first explain the historical origin and development as well as the philosophical premises of the image. We then take a closer look at its implications for understanding dementia and societal attitudes and behaviours towards those affected. In doing so, we adopt a life course perspective that seeks to account for the ethical significance of the temporal extension and structure of human life. (...)

  • Beyond Bodily Integrity.Margrit Shildrick - 2024 - De Ethica 8 (1):42-58.
    My focus on vulnerability and bioethics – which acknowledges but goes beyond mainstream feminist ethics - will take a phenomenological perspective that understands the self as having no meaning or existence beyond its embodiment. As such we are always open, and therefore vulnerable, to the constant changes of embodied experience. The transformations in embodiment are both necessary for development and continuous over the life course, but it is only when something breaks the cycle of normative development that the intimation of (...)

  • More than a medical condition: Qualitative analysis of media representations of dementia and Alzheimer’s disease.Jana Plichtová & Anna Šestáková - 2020 - Human Affairs 30 (3):382-398.
    The aim of our research is to explore how Alzheimer’s disease and dementia are represented in the Slovak media. Data consisted of text documents from the Newton media database. Search criteria included TV, radio, print and web sources that mentioned the words “Alzheimer” and “dementia” between 2015 and 2018. A thematic discourse analysis was applied in order to identify the themes and their mutual semantic relations. The analysis was focused primarily on the headlines (n = 227). The results show that (...)
