| Summary: | This article is a series of reflections between the philosopher Mary Zournazi and the theologian Jean Vanier on new approaches to understanding dementia outside of the usual frameworks of memory and memory loss. Zournazi and Vanier explore how to communicate with people living with dementia through ritual, tenderness and a sense of belonging. They address not only how we to live with dementia and understanding the new relationships and transformations that can be formed, but also what are the qualities of community and communion that can be shared and understood for people living with the experience. |
