[A rhizomic nursing discipline: theoretical knowledge for dealing with cared-for and nursing bodies]. / Une discipline infirmière rhizomique : des savoirs théoriques pour aborder les corps soignés et soignants.

ABSTRACT

The institutionalization of the nursing discipline within French universities can take a number of different paths, but must not ignore a fundamentally diverse practical reality. Heterogeneity is also evident in the abundance of theories available and mobilized to address objects of nursing interest. This text emphasizes this mobilization and presents a rhizomic nursing discipline that departs from a classical, vertical and hierarchical academic discipline. It draws on multiple theoretical contributions to address the encounter with cared-for bodies, and on critical perspectives to question the future of advanced practice nurses as a caring corps.
