En introduisant cet ouvrage qui réunit onze contributions sur le thème des « coûts de la masculinité », Christine Guionnet s’applique à éviter tout malentendu quant aux buts poursuivis par les auteur.e.s : il s’agit dans une large mesure de défricher et labourer un terrain miné car le questionnement sur la domination masculine et ses revers a été popularisé par des groupes d’hommes qui imputent au féminisme la « crise » de l’identité masculine dans la société contemporaine. En d’autres termes...

The purpose of this paper is to present the theoretical and philosophical assumptions of the Nursing Manifesto , written by three activist scholars whose objective was to promote emancipatory nursing research, practice, and education within the dialogue and praxis of social justice. Inspired by discussions with a number of nurse philosophers at the 2008 Knowledge Conference in Boston, two of the original Manifesto authors and two colleagues discussed the need to explicate emancipatory knowing as it emerged from the Manifesto . (...) Our analysis yielded an epistemological framework based on liberation principles to advance praxis in the discipline of nursing. This paper adds to what is already known on this topic, as there is not an explicit contribution to the literature of this specific Manifesto , its significance, and utility for the discipline. While each of us have written on emancipatory knowing and social justice in a variety of works, it is in this article that we identify, as a unit of knowledge production and as a direction towards praxis, a set of critical values that arose from the emancipatory conscience-ness and intention seen in the framework of the Nursing Manifesto.

The fact that racism and other forms of discrimination and injustice have persisted in our own nursing communities despite our rhetoric of caring and compassion can no longer be denied. This fact gave rise to a webinar in which the scholars represented in this issue of Nursing Philosophy appear. The webinar centered on the philosophy, phenomenology and scholarship of Indigenous nurses and nurses of color. The authors of the articles in this issue are giving us the precious gift of their (...) ideas. All of us, white scholars and scholars of color, must come together to receive this gift, learn from their words and their insight, debate the ideas, honor the perspectives, and consider ways that we can move this discourse forward to create new possibilities for nursing, new possibilities to shape the future development of our discipline.

La problématique de la transgression dans ses relations avec les questions de genre a été le thème d’un séminaire de recherche pluridisciplinaire à l’université de Poitiers entre 2009 et 2011, dont sont issues les contributions réunies dans cet ouvrage. Le système de normes qui sous-tend la définition sociale de la féminité et de la masculinité engendre les principes de hiérarchisation. Émanation du social, il se transmet par imprégnation au fil des générations qui le travaillent, parfois jus...
