Journée ordinaire d'une infirmière
Book •
In the coda, Boum-Maké discusses this work (title given in French) by Gisèle Pineau, which recounts experiences as a psychiatric nurse and examines institutional alienation.
The author uses writing to disclose the inner life of the psychiatric hospital and to develop attentiveness, shared vulnerability, and self-care.
Boum-Maké frames the text as an example of writing functioning as both self-recovery and outward care, linking literary practice to decolonial caregiving ethics.
The episode treats the book as emblematic of writing's reparative potential rather than providing full bibliographic detail.
