Contemporary healthcare systems face a structural crisis driven by biomedical reductionism, institutional biopower, and corporate rationalization. In this context, professional enculturation in nursing has historically functioned to reproduce subalternity and institutional docility through a clinical hidden curriculum that privileges delegated biomedical routines over autonomous care. Drawing upon a transnational genealogy across four foundational paradigms (biomedical positivist, interpretive‐humanistic, disciplinary, and critical‐sociopolitical), this article deconstructs how organizational architectures constrain Care Science. Crucially, rather than framing role transition shock and moral distress as individual psychological fragility or resilience deficits, we conceptualize them as acts of legitimate epistemological resistance. To overcome this institutional alienation, we propose the Emancipatory Praxis and Care Sovereignty Paradigm (EPCSP). Grounded in critical pedagogy, feminist ethics, and systemic humanism, the EPCSP redefines nursing education and clinical practice. It establishes the ontological parity of care in relation to medical cure, equips practitioners with critical agency to dismantle institutional biopower, and provides the operational framework required to address complex chronicity, mitigate clinical iatrogenesis, and secure the disciplinary sovereignty of Care Science.

This article examines the notion of resistance, providing an analysis that problematizes the place of representation in politics and democracy. First, the problem is addressed via a story that narrates a particular episode and actions of a group of prisoners liberated from a concentration camp. Next, Michel Foucault’s writings on resistance are considered, which ultimately result in a decoupling of the relationship between power and politics. Thus, resistance suggests a link with politics that is not restricted to the forms and codes of conventional politics. Nevertheless, Foucault’s work itself raises the question of freedom as a kind of mandate for the subject, in the face of which resistance runs the risk of being trapped. The figure of Bartleby (Melville) offers an opportunity to suggest a hypothesis that will allow us to inquire into a radical resistance that is not captured by the privilege of representation. Subsequently, the writings of Jacques Derrida and his reading of Melville’s disturbing character are examined, offering the possibility of questioning the unrestricted publicity assumed in the domains of the political, politics, and democracy as representative democracy, and even a demanding interrogation of such inherited concepts. Faced with the canon, Derrida will allow us to think precisely of a radical resistance in the manner of a certain secret that, while articulating itself, nevertheless subtracts itself from representation, and that will then be irreducible to the domains of the public-political; which will not mean that this secret is restricted to the private, and will thus make it possible to pose the democratic question anew. Finally, the paper offers some tentative conclusions and a synthesis of the challenges that have arisen.

El enorme desarrollo que en las últimas décadas han experimentado las tecnologías de la computación y las comunicaciones ha provocado diversos debates teóricos y dilemas éticos entre los que la perspectiva de género ha permanecido tradicionalmente ausente. Algunos análisis feministas sobre tecnologías digitales han surgido dentro de la corriente CTS, siendo mucho más escasos en el ámbito de la ética computacional En este trabajo expondremos la historia de la perspectiva de género en los estudios sobre tecnologías computacionales, y mostraremos la pertinencia y la importancia de esta perspectiva para una adecuada comprensión del fenómeno, tanto desde el punto de vista de la relación entre tecnología y sociedad, como de los problemas éticos de los que se ocupa la ética computacional.

Marc Crépon est directeur de recherche au Centre national de la recherche scientifique (CNRS) et directeur du département de philosophie à l’École normale supérieure (ENS), Paris, France. L’interview s’organise autour de trois axes qui nous semblent contenir les problématiques politiques actuelles présentes dans son travail. Le premier axe concerne la démocratie et la culture de la peur, le deuxième porte sur la démocratie et l’hospitalité et le troisième a trait à la politique, à la violence et au langage.
