Dignity in the everyday lives of persons with dementia forms the central core of the doctoral project. With the research question of how everyday constructions of dignity are shaped at the limits of interaction possibilities for persons with dementia, human dignity is framed as an empirical - i.e. observable - phenomenon. It is therefore assumed that dignity is produced historically and socially through processes of institutionalization, communication, socialization and interaction. Persons with dementia experience limits, especially in the context of their interaction possibilities. Research along these boundaries initially provides a better understanding of the lifeworld of these people. Based on the assumption that interactions of persons with dementia increasingly do not follow the same rules as those of others, ethnographic observations, interviews and videos are used to analyze which observable signs, symbols or rules these persons display in their interactions and what these indications say about constructions of dignity. Together with the theoretical discussion of constructions of dignity, fundamental insights are gained in order to approach an understanding of everyday dignity.
