Abstract [en]

The 2014 film Still Alice depicts the prominent linguistics professor Alice Howland who at the age of 50 is diagnosed with early onset familial Alzheimer’s Disease (AD). The film follows Alice from her first experiences of disorientation and forgetting of words through the progression of her condition that eventually leaves her unable to care for herself. This chapter analyses the film Still Alice in order to discuss frameworks for conceptualising subjectivity in relation to dementia, and particularly AD. In one scene Alice wakes up in the middle of the night distressed that her phone is missing and in the next scene her husband finds it in the freezer in the kitchen. The viewer is under the illusion that the second scene, coming straight after the first, portrays the next morning, as Alice says “I was looking for that last night” but then John reveals that a month has passed.
