Using three novels--Muriel Spark's Memento Mori, Doris Lessing's Diary of a Good Neighbor, and P. D. James' A Taste for Death--we examine themes relating to the social construction of caregiving. In our reading of the stories we found numerous instances of the political in the personal, and of how care can be shaped by inequalities of class and gender, by organizational practices and attitudes rooted in cultural assumptions, and by the social idealization of care provided by relatives and friends.
通过三部小说——缪丽尔·斯帕克的《莫瑞斯的情人》、多丽丝·莱辛的《好邻居日记》以及P.D. 詹姆斯的《死亡的滋味》——我们探讨了与护理社会建构相关的主题。在阅读这些故事时，我们发现了许多个人层面上的政治现象，以及护理如何受到阶级和性别的不平等、植根于文化假设的组织实践和态度，以及亲戚朋友提供护理的社会理想化的影响。
