“…www.bioeticayderecho.ub.edu -ISSN 1886-5887 | 110 3.1. El thelos del acto médico 5 Pensar en la finalidad del acto médico se relaciona con preguntas como ¿todos los pacientes son susceptibles de ser curados?, y si la totalidad de los pacientes no pueden ser curados, ¿qué rol tiene el médico en estos casos? Si se pensara en la medicina como un acto que busca únicamente la cura de un paciente, en aquellos en quienes no es posible la cura, sencillamente, el acto médico no tendría lugar; pero el acto médico no implica solo y únicamente curar.…”

Objetivo: Los estudios sobre el encuentro médico-paciente han descrito brechas entre estos agentes que afectan de manera negativa el proceso de atención en salud. La intención de este estudio fue analizar las narrativas del encuentro médico-paciente en un escenario particular: la Unidad de Cuidado Intensivo, motivados por la descripción de este contexto como aquel que es más proclive a generar experiencias deshumanizantes. Diseño: Este estudio es cualitativo de tipo narrativo-retrospectivo con una muestra intencional, de caso único. Se analizaron las narrativas derivadas de un encuentro médico-paciente, recolectadas a través de la Red de Asociativa (2, 3), una entrevista semiestructurada y la observación no participante. La información se analizó con ayuda del programa NVivo v12 ®. Resultados: El análisis de las narrativas generó 3 ejes temáticos emergentes: el thelos del acto médico, el rol de la tecnología en la experiencia de la UCI y el proceso de comunicación entre el médico y el paciente. En conclusión, parece tenerse una brecha en el diálogo entre el médico y el paciente que podría surgir de los diferentes horizontes de sentidos entre dichos agentes, brecha que puede acortarse a través de procesos de educación.

“…In contrast, the "perpetrator" with dementia appears as physically powerful and mentally out of control, moreover, as an aberrant individual living with dementia who needs to be managed, usually through medical intervention and segregation (Grigorovich et al, 2019). Drawing on narrative ethics (Newton, 1995), these framings have significant consequences for people living with dementia and for individuals reading such media stories. The stories naturalize violence as part of the disease process and explain the rise in violence as a consequence of population aging, perpetuating apocalyptic frames, emphasizing the costs of care (Funk et al, 2020), and demonizing people living with dementia (Behuniak, 2011).…”

Stories of violence and dementia in mainstream news media: Applying a citizenship perspective

2020

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

In this article, we analyze how mainstream news media frames violence in relation to dementia and the consequences of different frames for people living with dementia and their carers. Conceptually, the goal is to bring literature on citizenship and aggression into dialog with each other. Empirically, a total of 141 regional and national English-language mainstream Canadian news media articles (2008–2019) with a focus on dementia, violence, and aggression were analyzed. Analytically, we examine how different actors are portrayed as victims or perpetrators; how their histories (identities, belonging, and exclusion) are told; how dementia is used to explain events; and what types of expert knowledge and authorities are introduced to make sense of stories of violence in relationships of care. Our analysis points to the implications of media narratives for people with dementia as well as carers and researchers seeking to address stigma and call for change.

Attention, Representation, and Unsettlement in Katherena Vermette’s The Break, or, Teaching and (Re)Learning the Ethics of Reading

Theories of literary ethics often emphasize either content or the structural relationship between text and reader, and they tend to bracket pedagogy. This essay advocates instead for an approach that sees literary representation and readerly attention as interanimating and that considers teaching an important aspect of an ethics of reading. To support these positions, I turn to Katherena Vermette's 2016 novel The Break, which both represents the urgent injustice of sexualized violence against Indigenous women and girls and also metafictionally comments on the ethics of witnessing. Describing how I read with my students the novel's insistent thematization of face-to-face encounters and practices of attention as an invitation to read with Emmanuel Levinas and Simone Weil, I explicate the text's self-aware commentary on both the need for readers to resist self-enlargement in their encounters with others' stories and also the danger of generalizing readerly responsibility or losing sight of the material realities the text represents. I source these challenges both in the novel and in my students' multiple particularities as readers facing the textual other. Ultimately, the essay argues for a more careful attention to which works we bring into our theorizing of literary ethics, and which theoretical frames we bring into classroom conversations.
