Summary
Critical posthumanism offers a new antifascist, nonhierarchical framework for nursing to address global crises. This approach promotes a liberatory mission of care for all beings, moving beyond traditional justice paradigms.
Area of Science:
- Nursing Philosophy
- Critical Theory
- Environmental Humanities
Background:
- Current global crises necessitate new frameworks for nursing.
- Existing societal systems and nursing paradigms perpetuate injustice.
- Over-reliance on technology and empirics limits nursing's scope.
Purpose of the Study:
- To explore critical posthumanism as a liberatory framework for nursing.
- To reimagine nursing's mission of care for all beings.
- To critically analyze traditional justice framing in nursing.
Main Methods:
- Drawing on Black and Indigenous scholars, Haraway's Chthulucene, Deleuze and Guattari's rhizomatic thought, and Kaba's abolitionist organizing.
- Speculative discussion and critical analysis of nursing theory and history.
- Dismantling received wisdoms to foster emancipatory praxis.
Main Results:
- Critical posthumanism provides an antifascist, nonhierarchical imagination for nursing.
- This framework offers a passageway forward amidst environmental collapse, pandemics, and societal disparities.
- Praxis possibilities emerge from rhizomatic thought, making kin, and just episteme.
Conclusions:
- A radical philosophical mission of care is possible for all beings.
- Moving beyond traditional justice framing is essential for nursing.
- Emancipatory futures in nursing require dismantling established norms and embracing interconnectedness.
