Abstract
This final editorial of the 1996 Eminent Editor series continues the debates surrounding the processes of writing qualitative research for publication. Trudy Rudge RN RPN BA(Hons) is Senior Lecturer in the Faculty of Nursing, University of South Australia with a background in acute care, psychiatric nursing and community areas of nursing. She is completing her doctoral studies on an exploration of wound care procedures in nursing using poststructural theories to illuminate this taken-for-granted nursing practice.
Trudy has been a contributor and reviewer for Contemporary Nurse so I asked her to discuss how nurses can represent their clinical research speaking from the political platforms of feminism, praxis-oriented research and poststructuralism. Her use of the imagery of unpacking a library as a representation of unpacking clinical practice is a telling example of the stylistic discursive possibilities of writing these research genres.
