Subjectivity encompasses a person’s positioning as an agentic and authoritative being (rather than an object to be rigidly defined and to be acted upon), one who can safely express and embody a multiplicity of identities and create unique and dynamic (différant) meanings through intersubjective interaction. By deconstructing dominant discursive structures taken to be “objective” knowledge, we make visible the means by which our agency, identities, and meanings are circumscribed. In chapter two, we performed a quantitative deconstruction of survey data on “choice in the role of caregiver,” showing the unique salience of this topic for persons providing care labor to parents and grandparents, but also demonstrating the insufficiency of binary, decontextualized conceptions of choice for exploring agency and positioning. 000042010 540__ $$fCC BY 000042010 542__ $$fIn copyright - single owner 000042010 650__ $$aTerminal Care$$026847 000042010 650__ $$aFeminism$$031663 000042010 650__ $$aCaregivers$$029631 000042010 650__ $$aCaregiver Burden$$013434 000042010 6531_ $$afamily caregiving 000042010 6531_ $$aend of life 000042010 6531_ $$alife-limiting illness 000042010 6531_ $$apoststructuralism 000042010 6531_ $$acare labor 000042010 691__ $$aSchool of Nursing$$041370 000042010 7001_ $$aTarter, Robin 000042010 7201_ $$aHassouneh, Dena$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354$$eAdvisor$$7Personal 000042010 8564_ $$9cc0b3a60-c3c5-4c57-990e-b3dce1350f47$$s2544204$$uhttps://digitalcollections.ohsu.edu/record/42010/files/Tarter.Robin.2023.pdf 000042010 909CO $$ooai:digitalcollections.ohsu.edu:42010$$pstudent-work 000042010 980__ $$aTheses and Dissertations 000042010 981__ $$aPublished$$b2023-09-22
