Ageing, Dementia and Time in Film: Temporal Performances offers the first sustained analysis of films about ageing and dementia through a temporal framework. Analysing the aesthetics of films like A Moment to Remember (2004), Memories of Tomorrow (2006) and Happy End (2017), Deng provides new insights into our understanding of how ageing is temporally produced, presented, received and interrogated in and through cinema. Bringing together Gilles Deleuze's philosophy of difference and ideas on time, and building on scholars like Alia Al-Saji, Henri Bergson, Bliss Cua Lim, and David Martin-Jones, the book develops a conceptual framework of relational change - of temporal performances - and suggests that everyone and everything experiences time differently. MaoHui Deng is a Lecturer in Film Studies at the University of Manchester. His research is interested in the ways in which films about dementia and ageing can help further as well as complicate our understanding of time in cinema, gerontology and the wider society. He has previously published in the journal Asian Cinema, in addition to the edited collections Contemporary Narratives of Ageing, Illness, Care (2022) and The Politics of Dementia (2022).
