Abstract This visual essay discusses material markings in a nursing home and the boundaries and borders negotiated by them. Based on participant observations made through in-situ drawings in three dementia care units, I present two types of markings. The first kind of marking involves how other people wrote the names of residents on things as a way to distinguish them. The second type of marking involves how residents reconfigured materialities in different situations to make a space for themselves and/or other residents. I suggest that the ways in which seemingly trivial markings become entangled with residents’ identities and agencies require ethical responsiveness.

标记：痴呆症护理室的边界和边界

摘要 这篇视觉文章讨论了疗养院中的材料标记以及它们所协商的边界和边界。根据参与者在三个痴呆症护理单位现场绘制的观察结果，我提出了两种类型的标记。第一种标记涉及其他人如何将居民的名字写在东西上，以区分它们。第二种标记涉及居民如何在不同情况下重新配置物质，为自己和/或其他居民创造空间。我认为，看似微不足道的标记与居民的身份和机构纠缠在一起的方式需要道德响应。
