Always cite the published version, so the author(s) will receive recognition through services that track citation counts, e.g. Scopus. If you need to cite the page number of the TSpace version (original manuscript or accepted manuscript) because you cannot access the published version, then cite the TSpace version in addition to the published version using the permanent URI (handle) found on the record page. In Western science, the written text, the most objective, decontextualized, and disengaged discursive style of communication, is the privileged mode of scholarship (Conquergood, 1991;Denzin, 1997;Paget, 1993) This paper discusses the alliance between ethnography and performance, an interdisciplinary configuration referred to interchangeably as ethnoperformance (Paget, 1993), ethnodrama (Mienczakowski, 2001Mienczakowski et al., 2002), and the anthropology of performance (Turner, 1986). It is a genre within ethnography that is appealing to a new generation of scholars committed not just to describing the world but also to changing it (Denzin, 2000). As an example of this new aesthetic practice we discuss the transformation of ethnographic research on embodied selfhood in Alzheimer's disease (Kontos, 2004b) into a dramatic production for nurses and ancillary health care professionals working with persons who are cognitively impaired. The rationale for using drama to translate and disseminate these research findings is threefold: 1) to provide an accessible presentation of research to audiences of diverse disciplinary backgrounds; 2) to recover the experiential immediacy of the body present in the original data gathering setting which, in the case of this dramatic production, permits a powerful demonstration of how selfhood is manifested in gesture and action; and 3) to create a space to engage in a form of social inquiry that resonates simultaneously with critique and the envisioning of new possibilities (Denzin, 1997). Expressions of Personhood in Alzheimer's is a production that not only re-presents embodied expressions of selfhood in Alzheimer's disease, but also critically exposes depersonalizing tendencies of treatment contexts and caregiving relationships that are a consequence of an assumed loss of selfhood that is widely associated with the cognitive deficiencies that lie at the core of dementia. It is our contention that this ethnodramatic production has the potential to open a space for seeing
