With this paper, we walk out some central ideas about posthumanisms and the ways in which nursing is already deeply entangled with them. At the same time, we point to ways in which nursing might benefit from further entanglement with other ideas emerging from posthumanisms. We first offer up a brief history of posthumanisms, following multiple roots to several points of formation. We then turn to key flavors of posthuman thought to differentiate between them and clarify our collective understanding and use of the terms. This includes considerations of the threads of transhumanism, critical posthumanism, feminist new materialism, and the speculative, affirmative ethics that arise from critical posthumanism and feminist new materialism. These ideas are fruitful for nursing, and already in action in many cases, which is the matter we occupy ourselves with in the final third of the paper. We consider the ways nursing is already posthuman-sometimes even critically so-and the speculative worldbuilding of nursing as praxis. We conclude with visions for a critical posthumanist nursing that attends to humans and other/more/nonhumans, situated and material and embodied and connected, in relation.
本文探讨了后人类主义的一些核心思想，以及护理已经如何深深与之交织在一起。同时，我们指出护理可以从后人类主义中出现的其他思想中进一步受益。我们首先简要介绍了后人类主义的历史，它有多个根源和几个形成点。然后，我们转向后人类思想的关键流派，将它们区分开来，并澄清我们对这些术语的集体理解和使用。这包括考虑超人类主义、批判后人类主义、女性主义新物质主义以及批判性后人类主义和女性主义新物质主义所产生的思辨性、肯定性伦理的线索。这些思想对护理很有帮助，在许多情况下已经在付诸实践，这也是我们在本文最后三分之一篇幅中讨论的问题。我们考虑护理已经在后人类主义方面的一些做法——有时甚至是批判性的——以及护理作为实践的思辨性世界构建。我们以关注人类和其他/更多/非人类、情境和物质、身体和联系的批判后人类主义护理的愿景作为结论。
