Taking wartime nurses – and post-war nursing – seriously makes one think more politically about the wounds endured in wartime and what counts as a wartime ‘wound’. Thinking about wounds and the wounded, in turn, reveals how war-waging officials, and militarizers more generally, have tried in the past, and today still try, to shrink citizens’ awareness of militarism’s negative consequences. Nursing, nurses, wounds, and the wounded each continues to be gendered, influencing the workings of both masculinities and femininities in past and current wartimes and post-war politics. Feminist analysts have expanded the ‘political’ and multiplied ‘political thinkers’. Failing to absorb these feminist theoretical insights fosters the trivialization of nurses and other caretakers of the wartime wounded and their diverse political thinking. It is a failing with serious implications. Overlooking nurses and others who provide wartime care, combined with a lack of curiosity about wounds, perpetuates militarization and war.

伤口：军事化护理、女权主义的好奇心和无休止的战争

认真对待战时护士——以及战后护理——会让人们对战时所遭受的创伤以及战时“创伤”的定义更具政治性。反过来，对伤口和伤员的思考揭示了发动战争的官员，以及更普遍的军事主义者，在过去和今天仍然试图削弱公民对军国主义负面后果的认识。护理、护士、伤口和伤员都继续被性别化，影响着过去和现在的战时和战后政治中的男性气质和女性气质的运作。女权主义分析家扩大了“政治”并增加了“政治思想家”。如果不能吸收这些女权主义的理论见解，就会使护士和其他战时伤员的看护者及其多样化的政治思想变得无足轻重。这是一个具有严重影响的失败。忽视提供战时护理的护士和其他人，加上对伤口缺乏好奇心，使军事化和战争长期存在。
