The scientific literature rapidly raised discussion regarding data collection adaptation for remote inquiry and ethical dilemmas. However, it is still necessary to discuss the implications of running qualitative studies as a researcher immersed in a global emergency, precisely when the researchers themselves are involved in this context. To what extent, or in what way, can being fully immersed in this context influence all phases of the research? What is the role of reflexivity in this context? We proposed a new discussion based on the study we performed remotely in 2020, among infected pregnant women, using concepts of the Freudian feeling of uncanny to explore the life experience of the researcher. We also considered the concept of the discourse of the master from Jacques Lacan to debate the researchers' position during the pandemic and to bring practical implications. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: tables/charts Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
