本文的目的是从政治地理学的角度来理解家庭临终关怀。知情的关键政治理论的照顾，和最近的工作对公共和私人领域的地理，我探讨了一套后果的空间转移到大都市西雅图，华盛顿的家庭死亡。临终关怀在家中进行，创造了一个特别矛盾的家庭空间。通过模糊公私界限，临终关怀产生了一个家庭的政治地理学，可以通过四个空间悖论来解释：家庭是一个好的和坏的死亡之地的规范性悖论，控制本身改变家庭的领土悖论，心脏和福利政治之间的结构性悖论，以及自主性和依赖性之间的关系悖论。政治和健康地理，以及政治理论和临终关怀工作本身的影响进行了讨论，认识到这些空间悖论的后果。
The purpose of my paper is to offer an understanding of home hospice from a perspective of political geography. Informed by critical political theories of care, and recent work on the geographies of public and private spheres, I explore one set of consequences of the spatial shift towards home death in metropolitan Seattle, Washington. Terminal hospice care done in the home creates an especially paradoxical home space. By blurring public-private boundaries, hospice care produces a political geography of home interpretable through four spatial paradoxes: a normative paradox of home being a good and bad place to die, a territorial paradox of control itself changing the home, a constitutive paradox between heart and welfare politics, and a relational paradox between autonomy and dependency. The implications for political and health geography, as well as political theory and hospice work itself are discussed as a consequence of recognizing these spatial paradoxes.
