Subjectivity and post-modernity in nursing
Journal Title: Revista Eletronica de Enfermagem - Year 2009, Vol 11, Issue 4
Abstract
This work aims at reflecting upon the transition, or paradigmatic rupture, and the urgency of investigations that favor the essence of subjectivity. We envision an idea of transformation and mutation in many different areas of knowledge in face of post-modern culture novelties. One of the definitions attributed to post-modernity is the synergy between archaism and technological development. Studies on subjectivity require an incursion in an epistemological framework different from the classic positivistic model. A social practice such as Nursing, which deals with caring for people who are subject to alterations between the health-disease status, must compulsorily understand and question the subjectivity forms, the new concepts of subject and knowledge about what is human. The epistemological questions take the incursions of the act of caring to a contestation territory, where one can interchange rationality with sensitivity in face of cultural meanings.
