项目摘要

The Bloomsbury Festival is an established annual event dedicated to celebrating the cultural, intellectual and social wealth of Bloomsbury and its diverse communities. A registered charity, the festival supports community projects year-round that inspire positive change in people's lives through the creation of beautiful art. Via the AHRC-funded Bloomsbury Festival Cultural Engagement Project hosted by the School of Advanced Study, University of London (Feb-May 2013), in 2013 the Festival has drawn upon the interdisciplinary humanities research expertise in the School of Advanced Study to develop and refine its cultural engagement programme. Specifically, it has sought to find a means of both extending and critically interrogating the impact of its work with hard-to-reach and vulnerable social groups in the Bloomsbury and broader Camden areas. Identifying older people with dementia as a core population capable of multi-sensory cultural engagement, but typically unable to participate in the Festival's outreach programme, an early outcome of this project has been the establishment of a reciprocal relationship with Age UK Camden's Dementia Befriending Service, which supports people living with dementia in Camden. Working closely with this service, and drawing upon the expertise of Dr Claudia Cooper--honorary consultant old age psychiatrist to the Camden and Islington NHS Foundation Trust--the 'Bloomsbury Festival in a Box' project will between August and October 2013 develop, trial, and analyse a peripatetic 'Festival in a Box' outreach project that takes boxes of materials associated with the Festival out to people unable to leave their homes to take part in cultural life. As well as being therapeutic devices, these boxes will form innovative research vessels that will gather qualitative data on the value of cultural participation among older people with dementia in Camden. Carefully designed to include a range of sensory and cultural materials that will prompt narrative responses and recollections from service users, the Bloomsbury Festival boxes will engender social stimulation as well as interests in new activities, ideas and experiences among those living with dementia. The project will therefore benefit not only the individuals directly involved, but the broader research community. The Bloomsbury Festival in a Box will offer service users a unique opportunity to participate in a cultural event from which they would normally be excluded, and will in turn raise awareness of those living with dementia via a highly respected cultural forum. Moreover, it will offer those living with dementia an opportunity to share their knowledge and stories of the area, providing history and insight into Bloomsbury and the surrounding locale. As some service users have lived in the area for many years, participation in the outreach programme will not only be an opportunity for them to actively re-engage with community life, but also to participate in re-narrating the history of Bloomsbury itself. Over the course of weekly visits to the homes of service users, these boxes will become miniature 'archives of engagement', gathering rich and unusual data over the course of the outreach experience. A high level of interest in the proposed research project is anticipated, both within the area and on a national scale. Reflecting this, the final results of the project will be disseminated via a website and an academic publication, and via a one day event that will bring together practitioners and researchers in fields of gerontology and arts and health for a knowledge exchange opportunity intended to further the sharing of expertise and research methodologies in this field.

布卢姆斯伯里艺术节是一个既定的年度活动，致力于庆祝布卢姆斯伯里及其多元化社区的文化，知识和社会财富。作为一个注册的慈善机构，该节日全年支持社区项目，通过创造美丽的艺术来激发人们生活的积极变化。通过由伦敦大学高级研究学院主办的AHRC资助的Bloomsbury Festival Cultural Engagement Project（2013年2月至5月），2013年，艺术节利用高等研究学院的跨学科人文研究专长，发展和完善其文化参与programme.具体而言，它一直在寻求一种手段，既扩大和批判性地质疑其工作的影响，难以达到和弱势社会群体在布卢姆斯伯里和更广泛的卡姆登地区。将老年痴呆症患者确定为能够进行多感官文化参与的核心人群，但通常无法参加节日的推广计划，该项目的早期成果是与英国老年人协会卡姆登的痴呆症交友服务建立了互惠关系，该服务支持卡姆登的痴呆症患者。与这项服务密切合作，并借鉴克劳迪娅库珀博士的专业知识-卡姆登和伊斯灵顿国民保健服务基金会信托基金会的名誉顾问老年精神病学家-“布卢姆斯伯里节在一个盒子”项目将在2013年8月至10月之间开发，试验，并分析了一个巡回的“盒子里的节日”外展项目，该项目将与节日相关的材料盒带到无法离开的人那里让他们的家庭参与文化生活。除了作为治疗设备外，这些盒子还将形成创新的研究容器，收集卡姆登老年痴呆症患者文化参与价值的定性数据。精心设计，包括一系列的感官和文化材料，将促使叙事反应和回忆从服务用户，布卢姆斯伯里节盒将产生社会刺激，以及在新的活动，想法和经验的兴趣与痴呆症患者。因此，该项目不仅将使直接参与的个人受益，而且将使更广泛的研究界受益。Bloomsbury Festival in a Box将为服务用户提供一个独特的机会，让他们参加通常被排除在外的文化活动，并通过一个备受尊敬的文化论坛提高对痴呆症患者的认识。此外，它将为痴呆症患者提供一个机会，分享他们的知识和该地区的故事，提供历史和洞察布卢姆斯伯里和周围地区。由于一些服务使用者已在该地区居住多年，参与外展计划不仅是他们积极重新参与社区生活的机会，也是参与重新讲述布卢姆斯伯里本身历史的机会。在每周访问服务用户的家庭的过程中，这些盒子将成为微型的“成就档案”，在外展经验的过程中收集丰富和不寻常的数据。预计在该地区和全国范围内，对拟议的研究项目都会产生很高的兴趣。为反映这一点，该项目的最终成果将通过一个网站和一份学术出版物以及一个为期一天的活动进行传播，该活动将汇集老年学、艺术和健康领域的从业人员和研究人员，提供一个知识交流机会，以进一步分享这一领域的专门知识和研究方法。
