Resumen
Anthropological scholarship on senility and the clinical reality of dementia have asked how the loss of memory puts into question a personhood based on recognition. Attempting to recuperate the person, ethnographic accounts have focused on the caregiver as character whose coordinates of reality we can relate to, because they are set within chronological time, and can be molded into the narrative genre. This essay shifts off of the caregiver as character and the subject of illness as the person with dementia, and instead attempts to render scenes marked by affliction. Rendering as scenes rather than as well-ordered narratives can shows us that we cannot bound or define in advance what the story is “about”: affliction can be at once the story of dementia, the story of war, and the story of kinship.
