| description | This open access book explores how people in England who are affected by dementia (either by having a diagnosis or being a carer or loved one of someone who does) navigate different dementia discourses, interpret social texts and recommend discursive change. Drawing on thematic discourse analysis, and in particular multimodal critical discourse analysis (MCDA), it examines how different communicative modes can be used to reinforce or challenge particular worldviews and social practices, such as the marginalisation of people with dementia. Key themes include the need for nuance when discussing dementia and the tensions between different types of understandings of dementia (particularly across medical professionals, the media, and people affected by dementia). The author examines how individuals with and otherwise affected by dementia differently reinforce, challenge and provide alternatives to dominant dementia discourses and how such experience-led debates might inform social discourses moving forward. In particular, this book advocates for more nuanced and normalising visual and linguistic representations of dementia that can better support the advocacy of people with (and otherwise affected by) dementia and address social stigma.
