“…We do not wish to position ourselves as neutral instruments through which nurses’ discursive practices can be ‘discovered’. Along with Allen and Cloyes (2005), we argue that as investigators we actively contribute to the production of knowledge. We thus regard our results as one among other possibilities of understanding the complex interplay of practices and discourses in this particular setting.…”

The concepts of discourse, subjectivity and power allow for innovative explorations in nursing research. Discourse take many different forms and may be maintained, transmitted, even imposed, in various ways. Nursing practice makes possible many discursive spaces where discourses intersect. Using a Foucauldian perspective, were explored the ways in which forensic psychiatric nurses construct the subjectivity of mentally ill inmates. Progress notes and individual interviews constitute discursive spaces within which nurses construct patients' subjectivities. Progress notes provide a written (and permanent) form of discourse, while interviews set the space for a more fluid and contextual form of discourse. We identified five types of subjectivities - the (in)visible patient, the patient as risk, the deviant patient, the disturbed patient and the disciplined patient. These subjectivities were rooted in various types of discourses circulating in the selected setting. Despite the multiple discursive dimensions of forensic psychiatric nursing, progress notes remain the main formal source of information regarding nursing care even though it is not representative of the care provided nor is it representative of nurses' complex discursive practices in corrections.

“…In analyzing the data, particularly the interview transcripts, I draw from critical and feminist qualitative methodological approaches that allow for reflexivity and constant comparison (i.e. Allen and Cloyes 2005;Emerson et al 1995;Fonow and Cook 2005;Smith 2002;Stanley and Wise 1990;Strauss and Corbin 1990;Turnbull 2000). This approach allows for themes to emerge from the data, thus creating theory from the themes and categories that surface.…”

The article argues, through an examination of Vancouver's entertainment district as an actively produced 'civilizing' space dominated by private enterprise, that it is important to understand the 'mainstream' as a grounded site which produces, maintains and reiterates the moral contours of heterosexuality (among other things) within the city. Nightclubs in particular, experienced as spaces of hypermasculinity and hyperfemininity, offer a prime example of how the union of governmentality, surveillance and private enterprise work together in the maintenance and regulation of social conformity. Drawing upon an ethnographic study from 2005 to 2006, I explore the entertainment district and highlight young adults' perceptions of its nightlife economy and how space, hegemonic sexuality and nightlife collide.

“…Equally, one must be cautious about participants' ability to differentiate between their own values and the social performance elicited by the interview process itself. 26 My professional acquaintance with three of the four participants might have additionally influenced the conversations in unknown ways. The selection of participants was limited to nursing education leaders in authorized positions, and did not include emergent leaders among faculty members or general nurses.…”

Nursing Leaders' Experiences With the Ethical Dimensions of Nursing Education

Nurs Ethics

This pilot study explores four nursing leaders' experiences with the ethical dimensions of leadership in education. Gathering and interpreting such data of experience fosters greater understanding of the nature of moral leadership as it is lived in nursing education. A phenomenological approach was used to collect and analyze the data. The results revealed four major themes: integrity, justice, wrestling with decisions in the light of consequences, and the power of information. These themes clarify the values that direct these leaders' actions as they mediate community needs common to educational and health care institutions.
