Description
Summary:Food is a heuristic object for understanding the ways in which the Covid-19 pandemic may have affected social bonds. Among the first measures to contain the spread of the virus, food activities were regulated and commensal situations restricted to the domestic sphere. Based on a longitudinal qualitative survey carried out between the first and the third lockdown (March 2020 - April 2021) among 20 individuals living in metropolitan France, we were able to highlight the dynamics of reconfiguration of food sociabilities. It shows how the social bond has been re-woven by individuals by appropriating restrictions, but also broken or weakened under the effect of a forced isolation, alone or even with others.
