Résumé : | This essay critiques physiotherapys dogmatically held ontology of transcendence through both the essays content and its stylistic form. I resist representational thought and transcendence, creatively experimenting with the generative potential of Viktor Schlovoskys concept of making strange. I attempt to make physiotherapy strange and escape its habituation of thought by 1) intentionally plugging into disciplines outside of physiotherapy, and 2) using unconventional and unfamiliar language throughout this essay. Speci!cally, I draw lines of similarity between physiotherapys ontology and that of Christian fundamentalism. I argue that physiotherapy, like fundamentalism, dogmatically conforms to limited, incontroversial Truths upheld by the profession. Using this con"uence, I illustrate how betraying physiotherapy becomes necessary in order to escape its conformist ontology. Inspired by Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattaris philosophy, this essay reimagines physiotherapy and its ontology as one of immanence and difference. By betraying the comfort of transcendence, a$rming difference and unfamiliarity, I experiment with what else physiotherapy might do and could become. |
