Une application Web pour sortir des violences conjugales

Abstract

This article delves into both the epistemological and methodological challenges of an action research project conducted in collaboration with Fédération France Victimes on the Mémo de Vie Web application for women experiencing domestic violence. The social action and scientific inquiries pursued by this action research examine how a digital tool can incorporate the digital practices of both professionals and victims within the federation’s network, exploring the effects and limitations. The interplay between feminist epistemologies and field research makes it possible to contemplate three crucial aspects of research in the humanities and social sciences—reflexivity, engagement, and critique—which become particularly pronounced within the framework of an action research project.
