Abstract

This article proposes to explore remote interviews using the application WhatsApp and its tools, like vocal messages, but also written messages, calls, etc. During a research on humanitarian aid workers, we came up against the issue of distance, and we gradually began using these interviews, which allowed us to conduct singular exchanges, both here and there at once, with no interruptions and yet “diffracted”. Their consequences on the interviews are important. On one hand, these come from the tool, and on the other, from the posture of the researcher.
