Les expériences de la vulnérabilité dans l'épidémie de Covid-19

Faced with the Covid-19 pandemic, the human and social sciences have been mobilised across multiple temporalities to analyse the situation and its effects. In a context where information has become massified, decision-making more complex and social ties and knowledge reconfigured, the notion of vulnerability proves relevant here. To navigate between recognising its universal nature, taking into account its unequal distribution in society and the moral implications it raises, this collective book adopts a dual philosophical and sociological perspective. It brings into dialogue different meanings of vulnerability, particularly those centred on knowledge and epistemic justice, which remain little known in France. At the same time, a series of empirical studies conducted during the pandemic provide detailed insights into how it has affected family and neighbourhood life, the knowledge mobilised, the gendered distribution of domestic tasks and the student experience.
