Deeply Forgetful
<p>The politics of remembering and forgetting is unsettling, to say the least. Together with emphasis on linear rationality, ableist contouring of normal bodyminds, and the throes of care work, we struggle to provide grace and dignity to those living with dementia. In this excerpt from their new book, <em>Solution 305: Dying Livingly</em> (Sternberg Press, 2025), Staci Bu Shea proposes that the “deeply remembering” could co-create and immerse themselves within cultural conceptions of reality buttressed around an ethos of care for our faulty memory and pliant identities.</p>
