Résumé
Cet article montre que les jeux de construction, tels qu’Animal Crossing: New Horizons, sont des activités de design faisant appel à un agir créatif qui constitue un « remède » face à des situations difficiles comme celle de la pandémie de COVID-19. Pour ce faire, il s’appuie sur une vision pragmatiste de la créativité en design, articulée autour du concept de « situation » provenant des travaux de Donald Schön et d’Hans Joas. Suivant une approche autoethnographique, l’auteure explique comment Animal Crossing: New Horizons lui a permis d’être créative et réflexive durant le confinement.

Abstract
This article shows that construction games, such as Animal Crossing: New Horizons, are design activities involving a creative action that constitutes a “remedy” for difficult situations such as the COVID-19 pandemic. To do this, it draws on a pragmatist approach of creativity in design, articulated around the concept of “situation” from the work of Donald Schön and Hans Joas. Following an autoethnographic approach, the author explains how Animal Crossing: New Horizons allowed her to be creative and reflective during the lockdown.
