How "care values" as discursive practices effect the ethics of a care-setting
Purpose This paper examines how certain care values permeate, legitimize and authorize hospitalized-older-adults' care, technologies and practices. The purpose of this paper is to expose how values are not benign but operate discursively establishing "orders of worth" with significant effect on the ethics of the care-setting. Design/methodology/approach The paper draws from a discursive ethnography to see "up close" on a surgical unit how values …

The purpose of this article is to identify the implications of commonly held ideologies within theories of child development. Despite critiques to doing so, developmental theory assumes that children's bodies are unitary, natural and material. The recent explosion of neuroscience illustrates the significance of historical, social and cultural contexts to portrayals of brain development, offering the opportunity for a critical departure in thinkin…
The work of nurses in private health: Accounting for the intangibles in care delivery
With the commodification of healthcare in general and of private health in particular, it is difficult not to acknowledge the growing influence of competition and ‘the market’ in shaping the way that nurses’ work is managed by private hospitals and by nurses themselves. This paper explores the discourses shaping nurses’ work in private healthcare, drawing upon data from an ethnographic study conducted in one Australian acute care private hospital…
Beyond Caring? Discounting the Differently Known Body
The Power of Normalisation: Foucauldian Perspectives on Contemporary Australian Health Care Practices
Foucault's analysis provides social and political insights into the way that contemporary health care practices in Australia have been, and are being, constructed. His notion of discourse provides a useful starting point to analyse the taken‐for‐granted nature of reality that is so hegemonic in many health care practices. An analysis of discourse reveals the panoptic tendencies inherent in the Australian health care system. The notion of panoptic…
