In this article, I introduce insights from new material feminist theories into the understanding of connectivity on the basis of an aesthetic analysis of artistic encounters with people living with dementia. I draw on data from a situated art intervention conducted within the Resonance Project at a residential care home in Northern Norway where researchers, artists, health-care professionals, people living with dementia and family members came together in co-creative music sessions. I analyse two resonating moments from the sessions by way of an abductive process, oscillating between theory, written notes, video recordings and my own embodied experiences in the field. I discuss the ways in which materiality, listening and the group matter when it comes to our ability to connect during the sessions. Based on these findings, I conclude that the notion of socio-material connectivity provides an entrance point for studying different ways of relating to people living with dementia and enquiring into relations that matter.
在本文中，我将从新物质女性主义理论的角度出发，通过对与痴呆症患者相遇的艺术作品进行美学分析，来探讨关联性问题。我的研究数据来自挪威北部一个养老院的共振项目中的一个情境艺术干预，研究人员、艺术家、医护人员、痴呆症患者和他们的家属在那里一起进行了合作创作的音乐活动。我通过归纳推理的方式，对这些音乐活动中的两个共鸣时刻进行了分析，在这个过程中，我在理论、书面记录、视频记录和我在实地的亲身经历之间不断转换。我讨论了在音乐活动中，物质性、倾听和群体如何影响我们在活动中的连接能力。基于这些发现，我得出结论，社会物质关联性的概念为研究与痴呆症患者建立不同关系的方式以及探究有意义的关系提供了一个切入点。
