Abstract

This paper is a critical conflict-based intersectional feminist analysis of professional training that requires students to undress and expose their bodies in order to acquire knowledge. A premise of this essay is that such training is exclusive, harmful and rooted in aesthetic values that tend to percolate osteopathic discourse in multiple ways. The dangerous side of aesthetically guided professional behaviour renders potential harm to people who sit on the margins of what is considered beautiful and normal in the Global North, subsequently contributing to the wider health inequities and social injustice. This paper proposes alternative ways of acquiring knowledge that could support the osteopathic profession and education in becoming more inclusive and socially just, by adopting intersectional feminist framework. At the core of the essay are following questions: Are there ethical costs in prioritising aesthetic and body-based values? In the age of profound socio-political conflicts, what values truly matter in osteopathy? Also, has the time finally come to leave the confines of anatomical aestheticism, and enter the anatomical realm of social justice and transformative action?

放眼泳池之外:整骨疗法教育的交叉女权主义视角
这篇论文是一篇批判性的基于冲突的交叉性女权主义分析,专业训练要求学生脱衣和暴露身体以获取知识。本文的一个前提是,这种训练是排他性的,有害的,植根于审美价值,往往以多种方式渗透整骨疗法的话语。以审美为导向的职业行为的危险一面,对那些处于全球北方认为美丽和正常的边缘的人造成了潜在的伤害,从而加剧了更广泛的卫生不平等和社会不公正。本文提出了通过采用交叉女权主义框架来获取知识的替代方法,这些方法可以支持骨科专业和教育变得更加包容和社会公正。这篇文章的核心是以下几个问题:优先考虑美学和基于身体的价值观是否有道德成本?在深刻的社会政治冲突的时代,在整骨疗法中,什么价值观真正重要?此外,是时候离开解剖学唯美主义的局限,进入社会正义和变革行动的解剖学领域了吗?

期刊介绍: The International Journal of Osteopathic Medicine is a peer-reviewed journal that provides for the publication of high quality research articles and review papers that are as broad as the many disciplines that influence and underpin the principles and practice of osteopathic medicine. Particular emphasis is given to basic science research, clinical epidemiology and health social science in relation to osteopathy and neuromusculoskeletal medicine. The Editorial Board encourages submission of articles based on both quantitative and qualitative research designs. The Editorial Board also aims to provide a forum for discourse and debate on any aspect of osteopathy and neuromusculoskeletal medicine with the aim of critically evaluating existing practices in regard to the diagnosis, treatment and management of patients with neuromusculoskeletal disorders and somatic dysfunction. All manuscripts submitted to the IJOM are subject to a blinded review process. The categories currently available for publication include reports of original research, review papers, commentaries and articles related to clinical practice, including case reports. Further details can be found in the IJOM Instructions for Authors. Manuscripts are accepted for publication with the understanding that no substantial part has been, or will be published elsewhere.
