This volume offers new perspectives on questions which are highly relevant in the context of dementia and the arts and the humanities. The issues concern the personal identity of dementia patients, their familial relationships, advance directives and the patients' autonomy, the cultural representation of the subjective experience of dementia, and the patients' stigmatization due to the disease. By considering topics from philosophy and medical humanities, from cultural studies as well as from German, English, American and Comparative literature, the volume aims to think beyond the boundaries of specific disciplines in order to bring philosophy, literary and cultural studies into a fruitful conversation about dementia and the challenges it entails for the individual and for society.

Dieser Band ermoglicht alternative Zugange zu aktuellen gesellschaftlichen Debatten uber Demenz. Ausgehend von zentralen Fragen der Philosophie sowie der Literatur- und Kulturwissenschaften diskutieren die Beitrage Probleme der personalen Identitat von Demenzerkrankten, ihren familiaren Beziehungen, zu Patientenverfugungen und zur Autonomie von Demenzbetroffenen sowie die kulturelle Reprasentation der subjektiven Erfahrungen von Demenz und die Stigmatisierung von Patienten infolge ihrer Erkrankung. Durch seinen interdisziplinaren Ansatz bringt der Band Beitrage aus der Philosophie, den Medical Humanities, der Germanistik, Anglistik und Amerikanistik sowie der Komparatistik in einen Dialog uber die Herausforderungen, die Demenzerkrankungen an unsere Gesellschaft und das Individuum stellen.
