“…Methodologically, the Re•Vision Centre builds on mounting evidence of the transformative possibilities of story‐ and art‐making on individuals to think more broadly about the possibility of using art and story to impact systems (Changfoot et al., 2021; Rice et al., 2015). Recognizing that personal storytelling can have an individualizing, depoliticizing edge, we co‐design video‐making workshops around specific issues that attend explicitly to the political processes, economic structures, and systemic inequalities that (often invisibly) shape our lives (Rice & Mündel, 2018, 2019).…”

This article explores how episodic disability (ED) is created and intensified by, present within, and pushed out of the neoliberalized academy in Canada. ED is an umbrella term for a range of physical, mental, and neurological conditions characterized by fluctuation and unpredictability. Over two million working‐age Canadians are affected by ED, with women more likely to be impacted. To consider how ED interacts with post‐secondary education, we put feminist disability theories of embodied precarity, crip time, and disability justice into conversation with multimedia stories created by post‐secondary women workers with EDs, with story‐makers contextualizing and theorizing their creations, and revealing their complex embodied and embedded experiences. We chose these from stories generated in two research projects focused on transforming negative concepts of disability to serve as an “archivy” of embodied precarity that challenges ED's erasure in the academy. We think with the stories to analyze power and resistance in and on gendered and raced academic bodies along three overlapping themes: debility and vulnerability in the neoliberal university; fault‐lines of neoliberal time and embodied time; and EDs as produced in, and pushed out of, the neoliberal academy. Considering interrelations between ED and post‐secondary education under neoliberalism, we argue that feminist disability theory and justice praxis challenge debilitating and exclusionary expectations that harm people with EDs in and outside of the academy.

“…Adam, 1994). Also, following Changfoot et al (2022), Kafer (2021), andWard et al (2022), we do not primarily understand dementia care as a narrative or biographical practice, in that they carry with them implications of linear timescales whereas the lived temporality of dementia and therefore dementia care is often chaotic, visceral and contingent (Ward et al, 2022). Rather, our focus is on the immediate experiences, meanings and practices found in one-to-one dementia care interactions.…”

Attunement as a practice of encountering dementia time in long-term eldercare work

Discussing time and temporality in care work is becoming more central as societies with growing proportions of older persons with care needs strive to arrange cost-effective eldercare. As resources become scarcer, the efficiency of care work is emphasised, and care is increasingly sorted into cost-per-minute units. In our paper, we will analyse the different ways care professionals themselves describe their temporal experiences and practices concerning care interactions in long-term dementia care. Our data consists of semi-structured interviews with care professionals ( n = 25) working in round-the-clock service housing in Finland. Using thematic content analysis to analyse the data, we show that, along with a holistic understanding of temporality, good dementia care necessitates understanding alterity, which is insufficiently regarded in linear or quantitative understandings of time. By using concepts of temporal duration (Bergson), crip time (Kafer) and dementia time (Yoshizaki-Gibbons), it is possible to understand another person's alter-temporal experience, into which care can aim to enter and towards which it can attune itself. We argue that a concept of attunement is needed to fully make sense of the ideal temporal practices of dementia care. Our analysis presents attunement as understanding dementia time, receptive practices, and expressive practices, and describes limitations of attunement as temporal discordance.

“…While Eriksen et al (2020) suggest this (re-)representation of self constitutes an example of 'lived time', other commentators have pointed to the way that narrative approaches can strip away the more visceral and chaotic immediacy of temporal experience. For example, Changfoot et al (2021) point to the cyclical and rhizomatic experience of time as past, present and future fold into one another as we age or live with conditions such as dementia. Kafer (2021) is similarly critical of the largely unexamined way that illness narratives 'rely on the straightness of linear time' (p. 417) and the cultural conventions that shape their production.…”

Dementia is a global health challenge and currently the focus of a coordinated international response articulated through the notion of ‘dementia‐friendly communities and initiatives’ (DFCIs). Yet, while increasing research attention has been paid to the social and spatial dimensions to life with dementia in a neighbourhood setting, the temporalities of dementia have been largely overlooked. This article sets out different aspects of the lived experience of time for people with dementia and unpaid carers, before exploring the temporal politics of formal dementia care and support. The authors show that time is a site for material struggle and a marker of unequal relations of power. People with dementia and unpaid carers are disempowered through access to formal care, and this is illustrated in their loss of (temporal) autonomy and limited options for changing the conditions of the care received. The authors advocate for a time‐space configured understanding of the relationship with neighbourhood and foreground a tempo‐material understanding of dementia. Set against the backdrop of austerity policy in the UK, the findings reveal that ongoing budgetary restrictions have diminished the capacity for social care to mediate in questions of social justice and inequality, at times even compounding inequity.
