This representation of family as a shelter in case of difficulties has been prevailing within French family policies since the 1980s. In this paper, we question this integrating role family played during the lockdown through an on-line survey carried out during the shutdown. A sample of 4300 persons sheds light on the experience of this exceptional period. Four main results are presented in the article. Firstly, the residents of France of our sample tended to join their partner or family members. Secondly, the regrouping was gender-related: women were more often locked-downed with their relatives. Thirdly, this regrouping is linked to age – young people were more often welcomed in the households of their relatives than older adults or the elderly. And fourthly, the education level is also a relevant factor of family reunification for the lockdown.

The feelings of uncertainty and instability generated by these transitions might be heightened by the experience of illness. Through two sociological and anthropological researches carried on body transformations and age transitions between 9 to 14 on the medical and biographical transitions experienced by young people from 12 to 21 living with type 1 diabetes (T1D), we analysed the way the manifestations of the illness combine with the process of growing up. In this article, we describe the social, school, physical and technical transitions which mark out adolescence and the meaning young people with T1D give to them.

Thus, children become young girls by a long process of social transformation of their body, clothes, and hair, including incorporating technics of body relative to feminine work. Becoming an old woman is not only by physical weaknesses but above all by interrupting procreation that is a social menopause, not only biological menopause.

Dans un contexte d’incitation au maintien à domicile, les conjoint.e.s et les enfants sont amenés à agir au quotidien sur le corps des âgés. Parce qu’elle engage les relations et les corps au plus près de l’intimité, la toilette est révélatrice des liens de proximité, de genre et de génération, mais les enquêtes montrent aussi des limites de l’intrusion des conjoint.e.s et des filles dans l’aide aux âgés. Si les premiers s’engagent jusqu’aux frontières de la manipulation des excreta, les enfants délèguent les toilettes intimes aux professionnels dès qu’elles deviennent récurrentes.

Firstly, it is shown how gender is reshaped in a relational dynamics connected to other forms of social categorizing. Then, it is focused on the emergence of a double desire: having time for oneself, and asserting an intimate sphere of life. Finally, it is noticed how children develop new technologies of the self which intertwine personal and collective dimensions, innovation and norms.

Aux alarmes des adultes s'oppose un vécu souvent serein des enfants. Rédigé dans un langage clair, cet ouvrage permet d'aller au-delà d'une vision spectaculaire de la préadolescence, pour l'observer au microscope du temps ordinaire. Il est destiné à des chercheurs et des étudiants en sciences sociales, aux professionnels soucieux de mieux connaître ce public et à tout lecteur curieux d'approfondir ce temps de la vie. Avec le soutien du programme ANR « Enfants et Enfance ». Auteur(s) : Nicoletta Diasio et Virginie Vinel sont sociologues et anthropologues. Professeures à l'université de Strasbourg (Dynamiques européennes) et à l'université de Franche-Comté (UBFC-LASA), elles collaborent depuis plus de quinze ans à des recherches sur les passages des âges et le corps dans des moments denses de la vie, en les étudiant du point de vue des pratiques quotidiennes et médicales.

Objectifs : S’appuyant sur une recherche qualitative que nous avons menée en Lorraine (France), cet article examine les influences et les actions des membres du réseau familial et de l’entourage dans la construction des itinéraires de soins.
Méthodologie : En Lorraine rurale, une enquête socioanthropologique par entretiens semi-directifs a été réalisée de 2013 à 2015 auprès de 48 personnes âgées de 25 à 94 ans. Nous avons enquêté dans des territoires lorrains dits isolés et déficitaires en soins de premiers recours.
Résultats : La population rencontrée a intégré la norme d’individualisation du parcours de soins. Pourtant, la parenté est omniprésente : la sélection des praticiens de santé s’inscrit dans une démarche de domestication du territoire par le réseau familial, la lignée féminine est impliquée dans l’encadrement des soins des plus fragiles ; les conjoints agissent notablement dans des événements imprévus ou graves. Enfin, la parentèle et l’entourage sont mobilisés pour une surveillance vigilante.
Conclusions : Notre étude révèle que l’environnement de santé s’avère un espace domestiqué par la densité des relations de parenté et de proximité, et par l’intégration du système de soins au réseau élargi des familiers.
Contribution : Les solidarités autour de la santé sont issues d’une organisation sociale qui repose d’abord sur le couple, sur la lignée et sur la forte implication des femmes. Les hommes sont aussi des acteurs de ce réseau d’entraide dans des rôles de conduite, d’accompagnement et dans les cas inquiétants ou inhabituels. Les relations de collatérité et la parenté élective sont mobilisées en plus des liens verticaux ; elles incluent le voisinage pour une vigilance flottante et des services à la périphérie du soin.

Abstract Title : Healthcare in Rural Areas : Domestication of the Care System and Individual Trajectories Embedded in Kinship Relations (Lorraine, France)
Research Framework : Throughout all stages of life and across all phases of managing health problems, the family is at the heart of structuring and organizing care pathways.
Objectives : Based on a qualitative research carried out in Lorraine (France), this article intends to examine the influence and actions of family members in the construction of therapeutic trajectories.
Methodology : A socio-anthropological survey of semi-directive interviews was carried out from 2013 to 2015 with 48 people in rural Lorraine. We investigated ‘isolated’ areas and locations with a shortfall of front-line care.
Results : In the population being studied, though individual standard for paths to care has been fully integrated, family ties remain omnipresent. The selection of health practitioners, for example, is made through a progression of regional processes by the family network. The women are implicated in the provision of care for the most fragile and male spouses act in unforeseen cases and during tragic events. Relatives and familial ties are mobilized to provide individuals in need with a system of vigilant monitoring.
Conclusions : Active across multiple therapeutic trajectories, the family environment is a fundamental factor in the management of health and illness. Gender, age, the type of parents, spatial proximity and economic status were all analyzed to reveal the mechanisms within family interventions. These interactions are the product of a complex exchange of gifts and counter-gifts.
Contribution : The senses of unity generated by issues of health are founded through relationships that include couples, family lineages and the weighty contributions of women. Men are also stakeholders in this network of caregiving, playing leadership roles and in the provision of support during worrisome and more unusual cases. Collateral relationships and elective relationships are also active in these situations along more vertical lines including the provision of a looser connection of supervision and through remote caregiving.
Les études contemporaines en sociologie de la famille française ont tendance à se focaliser sur l... more Les études contemporaines en sociologie de la famille française ont tendance à se focaliser sur les relations de couple, la famille conjugale, et les relations verticales grands-parents/parents/enfants. Or, des travaux menés dans des régions françaises présentent une vivacité des relations de parenté plus élargies (Amiotte-Suchet et Chevalier, 2012 ; Segalen et Manceron, 2012). Inversement, un étiolement de la parenté apparaît là où on l'attendrait le moins, en Europe du Sud, par exemple (Papa et Adriano, 2016) ; les solidarités sont remises en cause dans les pays du Sud en raison des migrations et de l'individualisation des trajectoires (De Jong, Roth et Badini-Kinda, 2005). Si les relations de parenté contemporaines ne vont pas de soi, si elles doivent être activées par des processus d'échanges économiques, des affects, des fréquentations régulières, constituants une « parenté pratique » (Weber, 2013), l'étude de leurs contours, de leurs effets autant que des formes de leurs ruptures mérite d'être approfondie. L'objectif de ce colloque est alors d'explorer des points aveugles de la sociologie et de l'anthropologie de la famille en élargissant les regards aux relations familiales dans toutes leurs étendues (collatérales, alliés, lignées…). Il s'agira de s'intéresser notamment aux effets de distance, de présences et d'obligations, de conflictualités, en tenant compte des conditions sociales, matérielles, économiques des groupes, du genre mais aussi des redéfinitions individuelles et collectives des relations de parenté. Nous souhaitons donc réunir des contributions sociologiques, anthropologiques et en sciences humaines concernant autant la France et l'Europe que les autres continents. La parenté contemporaine est multiple : tantôt « biologisée »-voire potentiellement rebiologisée avec les techniques de procréation médicalement assistée-tantôt élective, affective, nourricière ou encore adoptive. Elle peut être aussi sollicitée, dépréciée par les politiques publiques européennes ou bien seul support des solidarités. Les différentes formes de parenté peuvent se combiner et interrogent, au-delà du couple et des relations filiales, la répartition des charges et des rôles des différents protagonistes d'une famille, l'implication, ou non, des parents plus éloignés, des membres de la fratrie... Les diverses séparations (divorces, distanciations géographiques, individualisation...) entraînent un questionnement sur la nécessité de la proximité pour maintenir vivace des relations de parenté. Le divorce amène-t-il nécessairement du conflit ? L'éloignement entraîne-t-il l'oubli, l'individualisation une contractualisation des liens ? Les relations familiales ne sont pas immuables et sont corrélées aux âges et aux parcours de vie. L'objet de ce colloque est donc de s'interroger sur la

Ce colloque vient clore une recherche financée par l'IRESP/INSERM portant sur les passages d'âges et de services des 12-21 ans porteurs d'asthme ou de diabète de type 1 (PASMAC-LaSA UBFC et UMR 7367 DynamE). Il réunit des chercheurs et chercheuses de plusieurs disciplines (sociologie, anthropologie, santé publique, médecine, psychologie) pour proposer une analyse sur ces différentes transitions, les difficultés des enfants, des adolescents et jeunes adultes et les solutions proposées par les services de santé et leurs écueils. Il rend compte des parcours de vie et des trajectoires de soins des enfants et jeunes porteurs d'une maladie chronique, génétique, ou atteints de cancers. Les communications éclairent autant le point de vue des jeunes patients que celui des professionnels. Il questionne les inégalités liées à des facteurs multiples tels que la classe sociale, le genre, les âges, l'histoire de maladie, l'organisation des soins et des services de santé.

homes. This representation of family as a shelter in case of difficulties has been
prevailing within French family policies since the 1980s. In this paper, we
question this integrating role family played during the lockdown through an
on-line survey carried out during the shutdown. A sample of 4300 persons
sheds light on the experience of this exceptional period. Four main results
are presented in the article. Firstly, the residents of France of our sample
tended to join their partner or family members. Secondly, the regrouping
was gender-related: women were more often locked-downed with their
relatives. Thirdly, this regrouping is linked to age – young people were more
often welcomed in the households of their relatives than older adults or the
elderly. And fourthly, the education level is also a relevant factor of family
reunification for the lockdown.

Auteur(s) : Nicoletta Diasio et Virginie Vinel sont sociologues et anthropologues. Professeures à l'université de Strasbourg (Dynamiques européennes) et à l'université de Franche-Comté (UBFC-LASA), elles collaborent depuis plus de quinze ans à des recherches sur les passages des âges et le corps dans des moments denses de la vie, en les étudiant du point de vue des pratiques quotidiennes et médicales.
Cadre de la recherche : À l’articulation de la socioanthropologie de la famille et de la santé, la recherche interroge l’intervention de la famille à tous les âges de la vie et à différents temps de la gestion des problèmes de santé en zone rurale.
Objectifs : S’appuyant sur une recherche qualitative que nous avons menée en Lorraine (France), cet article examine les influences et les actions des membres du réseau familial et de l’entourage dans la construction des itinéraires de soins.
Méthodologie : En Lorraine rurale, une enquête socioanthropologique par entretiens semi-directifs a été réalisée de 2013 à 2015 auprès de 48 personnes âgées de 25 à 94 ans. Nous avons enquêté dans des territoires lorrains dits isolés et déficitaires en soins de premiers recours.
Résultats : La population rencontrée a intégré la norme d’individualisation du parcours de soins. Pourtant, la parenté est omniprésente : la sélection des praticiens de santé s’inscrit dans une démarche de domestication du territoire par le réseau familial, la lignée féminine est impliquée dans l’encadrement des soins des plus fragiles ; les conjoints agissent notablement dans des événements imprévus ou graves. Enfin, la parentèle et l’entourage sont mobilisés pour une surveillance vigilante.
Conclusions : Notre étude révèle que l’environnement de santé s’avère un espace domestiqué par la densité des relations de parenté et de proximité, et par l’intégration du système de soins au réseau élargi des familiers.
Contribution : Les solidarités autour de la santé sont issues d’une organisation sociale qui repose d’abord sur le couple, sur la lignée et sur la forte implication des femmes. Les hommes sont aussi des acteurs de ce réseau d’entraide dans des rôles de conduite, d’accompagnement et dans les cas inquiétants ou inhabituels. Les relations de collatérité et la parenté élective sont mobilisées en plus des liens verticaux ; elles incluent le voisinage pour une vigilance flottante et des services à la périphérie du soin.

Abstract
Title : Healthcare in Rural Areas : Domestication of the Care System and Individual Trajectories Embedded in Kinship Relations (Lorraine, France)
Research Framework : Throughout all stages of life and across all phases of managing health problems, the family is at the heart of structuring and organizing care pathways.
Objectives : Based on a qualitative research carried out in Lorraine (France), this article intends to examine the influence and actions of family members in the construction of therapeutic trajectories.
Methodology : A socio-anthropological survey of semi-directive interviews was carried out from 2013 to 2015 with 48 people in rural Lorraine. We investigated ‘isolated’ areas and locations with a shortfall of front-line care.
Results : In the population being studied, though individual standard for paths to care has been fully integrated, family ties remain omnipresent. The selection of health practitioners, for example, is made through a progression of regional processes by the family network. The women are implicated in the provision of care for the most fragile and male spouses act in unforeseen cases and during tragic events. Relatives and familial ties are mobilized to provide individuals in need with a system of vigilant monitoring.
Conclusions : Active across multiple therapeutic trajectories, the family environment is a fundamental factor in the management of health and illness. Gender, age, the type of parents, spatial proximity and economic status were all analyzed to reveal the mechanisms within family interventions. These interactions are the product of a complex exchange of gifts and counter-gifts.
Contribution : The senses of unity generated by issues of health are founded through relationships that include couples, family lineages and the weighty contributions of women. Men are also stakeholders in this network of caregiving, playing leadership roles and in the provision of support during worrisome and more unusual cases. Collateral relationships and elective relationships are also active in these situations along more vertical lines including the provision of a looser connection of supervision and through remote caregiving.
