“…partnership relations may be put under strain if disabled people and their partners do not retain the opportunity to negotiate and reciprocate care within their relationship (Parker and Clarke, 2002) and to experience both mutual dependence and autonomy (Kröger, 2009). …”

2 Disability, partnership and parentingPartnerships and parenthood have important effects on economic, social and psychological wellbeing. We provide new long-term analysis of how disability affects both parental status and partnerships. Analysis of the new Life Opportunities Survey, which is based on social model approaches, demonstrates that disabled people are more likely than non-disabled people to face disadvantages in terms of family formation. Disabled people are more likely to remain single over time, although there is lesser evidence of any differences in rates of relationship breakdown for those who enter them. Allied to these conclusions, disabled adults are less likely to form households where there are dependent children. These conclusions are supported by longitudinal results from the British Household Panel Survey.

“…The emphasis on 'localised being' underscores the reality that care is not one universal phenomenon but is done differently in different everyday situations (Mol, Moser, & Pols, 2010). This move brings care and citizenship together in everyday life, even though the two are often kept apart in disability and citizenship studies (Kröger, 2009).…”

Citizenship as Distributed Achievement: Shaping New Conditions for an Everyday Life with Dementia

Citizenship for people with a disability has become a notable subject within disability studies, but dementia has only sparingly been included in these studies. However, an important international debate on citizenship for people with dementia is emerging, highlighting rights, empowerment, agency, and new socio-political understandings. Yet, even though these studies often entail a relational understanding, they tend to perceive citizenship as allocated statically to individuals. This article contributes to the debate by conceptualizing relational citizenship as the distributed achievements of care-collectives consisting of a complex set of socio-material agents, including the person with dementia and the disease. Rather than adding more knowledge about experiences of dementia, the article develops an understanding of the critical mechanisms producing citizenship for all, and of care-collectives as potential facilitators for such distributed achievements. The results indicate that citizenship is a malleable and precarious enactment that needs continuous nourishment to be maintained, and that localized knowledge about the emergence and development of care-collectives is crucial for this maintenance and, hence, for shaping decent conditions for an everyday life with dementia.

“…Who is in command?). In more recent years, the disability and care scholars have converged in several aspects (Kröger, 2009), putting forward proposals that make the bridge between the two perspectives, such as the New Political Ethic of Care proposed by Fiona Williams (2004).…”

The primary aim of this article is to make a contribution to clarify the concept of "care" in the field of care for older people, by reviewing and discussing the conceptual literature and, based on this, by proposing a new unified definition. The secondary aim of this article is to trace, in general terms, the evolution of the empirical research on care for older people, presenting at the same time, possible avenues for future research. It is expected that a new unified definition of the concept of care may contribute to a better operationalization of it, enhancing the reliability and validity of future research and the potential for comparative analysis and theory development.Keywords care, older people, conceptual review.Resumo O principal objetivo deste artigo é contribuir para a clarificação do conceito de "cuidar" no domínio dos cuidados para pessoas idosas. Esta clarificação é realizada através da revisão e discussão da literatura conceptual e, com base nessa revisão, também através da proposta de uma nova definição unificadora do conceito de "cuidar". O objetivo secundário deste artigo é traçar, em termos gerais, a evolução da investigação empírica sobre os cuidados prestados a pessoas idosas, apresentando, ao mesmo tempo, possíveis avenidas para a futura investigação. Espera-se que um nova definição unificadora do conceito de "cuidar" possa contribuir para melhorar a sua operacionalização, aumentando a fidedignidade e a validade da futura investigação e o potencial para a análise comparativa e o desenvolvimento teórico.Palavras-chave cuidados, pessoas idosas, revisão conceptual.Résumé Le but principal de cet article est de contribuer à la clarification de la notion de "prendre soin" dans le domaine des soins pour les personnes âgées.
