Nurses, nursing and representation: an exploration of the effect of viewing positions on the textual portrayal of nursing.

Abstract:

:Textual portrayals of nursing can be 'read' from a number of possible viewing positions, which play a very real part in the way that our reality is constructed and understood. The image depends on which viewing position is chosen by or constructed for the viewer, and how the viewer interacts with that position. Thus without the viewer the image is incomplete. This paper is a beginning exploration of the nature of texts that portray nursing, and what Kaplan has termed the 'delicate negotiation' between the reader and the text in producing, in this case, understandings of nursing. Consequently the discussion focuses on how texts represent nursing, not in terms of what they portray, but how understandings of that portrayal are arrived at. This is to move exploration of portrayals of nursing from the descriptive to the discursive realm. In so doing the aim is to begin to explore and uncover the way in which we are positioned, and position ourselves, as readers of portrayals of nursing in text.
