My contention is that the compositional aspect of this work \u2013 threaded through the interview, analysis and write-up processes \u2013 allowed for a different understanding of the experience, and a different kind of conversation with the participants; indeed it is now allowing for a different kind of dissemination of the study\u2019s \u2018results\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>The piece is structured around the three themes that emerged most strongly from interviews, observation and focus groups: <strong>violence<\/strong>, <strong>loss<\/strong> and <strong>humanity<\/strong> \u2013 and explores each of these in turn across a broad narrative arc.<\/p>\n<p>With my colleague Megan Wainwright, I have written in this special issue about hierarchies of research that place the randomised controlled trial at the top and creative research at the bottom.<sup><a href=\"#_edn6\" name=\"_ednref6\">[6]<\/a><\/sup> Even within qualitative, a creative approach remains fairly novel, and is perhaps regarded as more subjective and questionable. Ten years ago Rita Charon was arguing for \u2018intersubjectivity\u2019 in clinical practice,<sup><a href=\"#_edn7\" name=\"_ednref7\">[7]<\/a><\/sup> and in the full dissertation that accompanies this piece<sup><a href=\"#_edn8\" name=\"_ednref8\">[8]<\/a><\/sup> I argue that it is the very subjectivity of this approach which creates an empathic space that may help us better understand an experience that is damaging precisely because \u2013 in the diverging reality of delirious delusion and hallucination \u2013 it separates the person who has experienced it from those around them.<\/p>\n<p>By using fragments of sound from the hospital itself, alongside audio clips from interviews and focus groups with the people who generously volunteered to take part, I hope to connect our understanding of delirium with a better sense of how the hospital itself can affect us: how everything from treatment to architecture can work to dehumanise us \u2013 but also how moments of profound humanity can intervene at the loneliest and hardest times to support us.<\/p>\n<p>You can <a href=\"https:\/\/victoriahume.bandcamp.com\/album\/delirium-part-ii\">listen to <em>Delirium Part II <\/em>here<\/a>.<sup><a href=\"#_edn9\" name=\"_ednref9\"><u>[9]<\/u><\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n<p><em>Delirium Part II<\/em> was supported by the PRS Foundation for Music&#8217;s Women Make Music scheme.
