Se raconter et prendre soin. Étude anthropologique participative à partir de récits de Françaises (dé)confinées en période de covid-19
Abstract
The “Récits Confinés” (Lockdown Stories) participatory research project was conducted from March to May 2020. Its aim was to mobilize participants to write and share a narrative of their confinement experience. By collecting the participants diaries, the project made it possible to capture and document, “on the spot”, individual, family, and daily adaptations. It also revealed the intensification of female participants’ domestic work at home, and the deepening of gender inequalities. Their testimonies enable us to grasp the profiles, motivations, and skills for producing a “self-narrative”, recounting everyday life in a time of “crisis”. This introspective task of writing is part of a desire to bear witness to the work of care and self-care for oneself and also for others.
