Résumé
Est-ce que l’isolement crée des histoires captivantes? Un état dépressif peut-il inciter à des savoirs partagés d’une manière autoethnographique-performative? Les bribes de journal de l’autrice évoquent un ressenti personnel alors que sévit la pandémie de coronavirus. Des poèmes, des peintures et un court métrage comprenant des témoignages filmés avec le cellulaire de l’autrice complètent le tableau de cette narration qui se performe dans un style familier pour briser les standards de l’écriture académique. La pandémie fut une période de grands bouleversements, ce qui se prête bien à ce genre d’écriture créative performative. Il s’agit d’une histoire où la fiction (un crabe est parmi les protagonistes) et la réalité se mélangent pour stimuler l’imagination et laisser la place à l’imprévu et la contingence. Une femme immigrante qui se trouve loin de sa famille raconte ses peines, sa solitude et son manque d’espoir alors que les frontières sont fermées. Son existence invisible entre les murs de son appartement devient enfin visible par l’autoethnographie performative.

Abstract
Is isolation capable of creating captivating stories? How a depressed state of mind generates shared knowledge through performative-autoethnography? This article presents the author’s journal, evoking her personal perception of the COVID-19 pandemic. Poems, paintings and a short film featuring testimonies of her friends, filmed on a mobile phone, complete the narrative setting. The work adopts a colloquial style aiming to challenge the conventions of academic writing. The pandemic period was full of disruptions that aligned with this type of creative performative writing. In this story, fiction (a crab is among the protagonists) and reality blend together to spark imagination and leave room for unpredictability and contingency. An immigrant woman, who finds herself far from her family, tells us about her lack of hope and solitude while the gates of the borders are closed. Her invisible existence within the walls of her apartment becomes visible through the performative autoethnography.
