ABSTRACT This multi-method ethnographic study explores the everyday lives of people with dementia living in the community, cared for by a spouse or family member. It examines three case studies of individuals with early to moderate stage dementia. The latter were attending a weekly day-centre group and this thesis explores their interactions with each other, individual histories, tastes, habits and daily habits. The primary aim of the research was to explore the natural role of music in the lives of these subjects as individuals and as a group. In doing so, this undertaking shows how, in supportive environments, agency and capacity can flourish, leading to constituents of ‘re-covery’, to use mental health terminology. This highlights some of the important matters that are overlooked where perspectives emphasise dementia as a disease of the brain. By contrast, it illuminates the role of social and environmental factors and their contribution to well-being. After initial interviews with each individual and in some cases, members of their families, five months of participant observation followed, primarily located in a home- based day care service. The data set was formed from 178 hours of field observations, a number of audio-recordings made during the sessions, and detailed field notes. This study shows that a close-up focus on the minute details of how a person lives their life and ‘dwelling’ with them for an extended period will illuminate many of the processes that work toward maintaining the well-being of people with dementia and facilitate their revitalisation. Significantly, it was the integration of music within and alongside the everyday tapestries of activities and events which helped create a space for connection and pleasure. The thesis findings reveal how the participants in this research repeatedly demonstrated expertise and insight, albeit not always verbally expressed, but shown in and through forms of practice as regards what was required for their well-being and how to achieve it. This achievement, however, also relied upon thoughtful and creative collaboration with others (carers, family members, etc.), working alongside the participants for mutually beneficial ends. The thesis concludes that what is required for people with dementia and their well-being does not differ substantially 2 from what is generally required by humankind, but there are certain skills and modes of co-operative assistance that are necessary to ensure and maintain the well-being of people with dementia. 3 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Firstly, I acknowledge my huge debt of gratitude to my supervisor, Professor Tia DeNora, who has remained unfailingly supportive and inspiring throughout the course of this PhD. She has been consistently generous in a myriad of ways, far above and beyond the call of duty. Without her gentle, patient and skilful guidance, the completion of this thesis would not have been possible. Thanks also go to my second supervisor, Dr Tom Rice for his input and helpful comments, as well as to Professor Gary Ansdell. In addition, recognition must go to my fellow members of the SocArts Group, whose encouraging presence has eased this process considerably. I am most grateful to the University of Exeter for its funding of this project. To all those with whom I had the privilege of meeting during the course of my fieldwork. I particularly wish to express my thanks to ‘Poppy’; getting to know her and her ways of working has been immensely joyful and hugely influential. Finally, heartfelt appreciation is extended to each individual who agreed to be interviewed by me and/or allowed me to observe their time at the respective local day care (LDC). Thank you for being so open-minded and teaching me your other kinds of knowledge. 4 Table of Contents ABSTRACT ................................................................................................................ 2 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS .......................................................................................... 4 FIGURES AND TABLES ............................................................................................ 8 ACCOMPANYING MATERIALS ................................................................................ 9 CHAPTER ONE - INTRODUCTION ......................................................................... 10 1.0 Background and Backstory ............................................................................. 10 1.1 Research Focus; Questions and Clarification ................................................. 14 1.2 Thinking Ecologically....................................................................................... 19 1.3 Beginnings ...................................................................................................... 21 1.4 Dementia and the Self..................................................................................... 24 1.5 Identity and Musical Lives ............................................................................... 27 1.6 Musical Miracles? ........................................................................................... 29 1.7 Neuromania .................................................................................................... 31 1.8 Naturalistic Enquiries and Local Ecologies ..................................................... 33 1.9 Summary of the Research Framework ........................................................... 33 1.10 Organisation of the Thesis ............................................................................ 34 CHAPTER TWO: LITERATURE REVIEW ............................................................... 36 2.0 PART ONE: DEFINITIONS OF DEMENTIA .................................................... 36 2.1 Diagnosis of Dementia – the Complexities...................................................... 38 2.2 Models of Treatment ....................................................................................... 39 2.3 Medicalisation ................................................................................................. 41 2.4 Positioning ...................................................................................................... 43 2.5 Tacit Knowledge ............................................................................................. 47 2.6 Who Cares?

  • Music in Everyday Life Tia Denora Frontmatter More Information
    Cambridge University Press 0521622069 - Music in Everyday Life Tia DeNora Frontmatter More information Music in Everyday Life The power of music to influence mood and create scenes, routines and occasions is widely recognized and this is reflected in a strand of social theory from Plato to Adorno that portrays music as an influence on character, social structure and action. There have, however, been few attempts to specify this power empirically and to provide theoretically grounded accounts of music’s structuring properties in everyday experi- ence. Music in Everyday Life uses a series of ethnographic studies – an aerobics class, karaoke evenings, music therapy sessions and the use of background music in the retail sector – as well as in-depth interviews to show how music is a constitutive feature of human agency. Drawing together concepts from psychology, sociology and socio-linguistics, it develops a theory of music’s active role in the construction of personal and social life and highlights the aesthetic dimension of social order and organization in late modern societies.

  • Emergent Culture Welcome
    Emergent Culture 6th midterm Conference of the European Sociological Association’s Research Network Sociology of Culture (RN7) 16-18 November 2016, Exeter, UK Emergent Culture Welcome Welcome to the 6th midterm conference of the European Sociological Association’s Research Network on Culture, held this year at the Uni- versity of Exeter. We hope the conference delegates will enjoy the papers, views, fresh air and cosy atmosphere of the venue. We have endeavored to keep the conference small and to give space for colleagues to meet, talk and enjoy the town’s history. The University of Exeter is an ideal location within the United King- dom to host the RN7 midterm conference. Exeter’s multidisciplinary Department of Sociology, Philosophy and Anthropology has consistently ranked high in league tables and is 3rd for Sociology in The Times and The Sunday Times Good University Guide 2016. The department has been home to the BSA/Sage journal Cultural Sociology and hosts the sociology of arts journal Music and Arts in Action. On behalf of the ESA Research Network on Culture and the University of Exeter, we warmly welcome you and thank you for participating in the conference. Trever Hagen Anna-Mari Almila Conference Theme The theme of the 6th midterm conference, ‘Emergent Culture’, focuses on the diverse pathways of how emergence, as a theoretical framework and empirical phenomenon, enters into the sociological study of cul- ture. Emergence is a key lens that captures core cultural sociological processes of action, meaning and transformation. As such, emergence is understood in relation to events and materiality; access, skills and technology; clusters and bundles; history, memories and associated so- cial practices.

  • Music Sociology: Getting the Music Into the Action
    B. J. Music Ed. 2003 20:2, 165–177 Copyright C 2003 Cambridge University Press DOI: 10.1017/S0265051703005369 Music sociology: getting the music into the action Tia DeNora [email protected] Music sociology has addressed the history of the musical canon, taste and social exclusion. It has also addressed issues of musical value and the perceptual politics of musical reputation. More recently, it has developed perspectives that highlight music’s ‘active’ properties in relation to social action, emotion and cognition. Such a perspective dispenses with the old ‘music and society’ paradigm (one in which music was typically read as distanced from and ‘reflecting’ social structure) and points to core concerns in sociology writ large and to educational concerns with music’s role as a socialising medium in the broadest sense of that term. Introduction Ihavebeen asked to reflect here on what insights I think my own research area might offer to music education researchers and to communicate recent developments from this area to music educators. Most of my research has been in the subfield of my discipline usually known as sociology of the arts. Thinking about the kinds of research projects ongoing there, and presented in associated networks and specialist journals (see the Resources section at the end of this article), I realise that the focus – overtly at least – on music (or even arts) education has been minimal. At the same time, a great deal of work in the subfield overlaps with music educative concerns, and I want to spend most of this article describing how, as Iseeit, music sociology relates to, carries implications for, and can benefit from research on music education.

Blandt de markante udviklinger inden for feltet er en bevægelse fra en i hovedsagen værkorienteret forståelse af musik i retning af, hvad den nyligt af- døde new zealandske musikforsker Christopher Small har kaldt for musicking (1998). Det vil sige en opfattelse af musik som en form for handling, aktivitet eller praksis – en musikeren eller musikering, for nu at oversætte den engelske term.
