    This chapter focusses on work programme 4 of the Neighbourhoods study entitled ‘Neighbourhoods: Our People, Our Places’ (N:OPOP). We used a creative mix of qualitative methods, including network mapping, mobile interviews, and home tours with people living with dementia and their care partners in England, Scotland, and Sweden. We focused explicitly on the subjective meaning of neighbourhoods for people living with dementia with a view to understand how people could be better supported to live in community settings. Neighbourhoods matter to people with dementia because of the type of support they can offer, and this chapter presents insights into how and why this might be the case. Neighbourhoods can enable people living with dementia to develop and sustain connections, maintain a sense of belonging, and contribute to the diversity and inclusivity of local places. Neighbourhoods are not simply fixed locations within which activities happen but are an amalgamation of connections to people and other places over time, understood and experienced in the context of other locations and times. Drawing on our published work (Ward et al., 2021 a, b, c) , this chapter considers how people living with dementia are not passive observers of neighbourhood life but, instead, engage in the social rhythms of neighbourhoods and, with support, actively shape them as neighbourhoods of choice, though with such choices are often restrained by contexts and circumstances. The chapter is presented as follows. First, we provide a brief overview of some of allied research that has explored the importance of neighbourhoods spaces as sites for social interaction for people living with dementia.. Next, it outlines the ways in which we gathered and analysed our data. It then presents three interconnected ‘snapshots’ of our findings exploring: i) neighbourhoods as assemblages of connections; ii) neighbourhoods as real and symbolic sites of support; and iii) understanding neighbourhoods and change in the context of living with dementia. The chapter then outlines how our findings might influence thinking about: neighbourhoods as relational places; how neighbourhoods might contribute to social health; and how people living with dementia can, with support, engage in neighbourhoods of choice. Collectively, these themes point to the relevance of understanding the ‘lived neighbourhood’ for people living with dementia

    Variations on the Author

    “Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship

    This paper explores (1) experiences of participating in Empowered Conversations, an online communication course for carers of people with dementia and (2) how participants felt the course had changed their experience of caring. Fifteen semi-structured interviews were completed with carers who had attended Empowered Conversations as part of a larger feasibility trial conducted in Greater Manchester, UK (ISRCTN15261686). Data were analysed using applied thematic analysis. Three themes were developed: (1) You've got nothing to lose and everything to gain, including the course content, timing and format, and perceived burden and benefits of the course; (2). A community to share together, including the value of being honest, vulnerable, and sharing stories; and (3) Being given a new way to see the world, including understanding the person and their diagnosis, enabling greater control and reducing interpersonal conflict, and recalibrating their expectations. Carers reported positive experiences of participating in Empowered Conversations and valued meeting people who, despite different circumstances, shared their understanding of supporting someone with dementia. The course supported participants to be honest and vulnerable, and helped them to rethink communication and have a greater appreciation of the other person's perspective during everyday interactions
