dc.description.abstract |
Place occupies a paradoxical position within the discipline of palliative care. Most research is conducted within a paradigm which ostensibly affords great importance to the spaces where people do their dying, with place of death representing a key research priority.However, a reductive understanding of place is typically adopted which fails to extend analyses beyond determining the physical location of death. The multiple, often contradictory, meanings attributed to particular places at the end of life remain under-explored. Moreover, the ways in which delivering care in particular places structures the nature, and experience, of that care provision has also not been examined in any detail. In this chapter, we explore these issues by focusing upon ‘home’, which is central to the revivalist good death philosophy that underpins palliative care philosophy. Drawing in particular upon writings from the new critical geography of home (Blunt and Dowling, 2006) we argue that developing a more nuanced understanding of home within an end of life context has the potential to support future health and social service developments. Ultimately, we argue that understanding home as a malleable concept opens up new possibilities when thinking about how to ensure care is delivered in a way, and in a space, that people facing the end of their lives would most prefer. |
