Abstract

This contribution is a product of my vision on “Post-modernity in Nursing” as a new perspective: born out of the abandonment of the horizon of universality or universalisation of humanity, of the disappearance of the idea of a nursing disciplinary process based on technical rationality only, which is not the end of modernism but its emerging and constant status. We find ourselves in a sort of “Bricologe”, of de-construction, re-construction, un-ravelling and re-ravelling, un-knitting and re-knitting, from the abundance of references, of elements taken from styles or previous classic or modern periods, born out mainly from the need to pay attention to the changes that have affected the large categories through which nurses get their identities, reciprocal relations and the individual reference or if there is a desire, on the individualisation of references in nursing.
