Abstract:

This paper is the result of an investigation into the role of the researcher within the ethnographic methodology in clinical settings, which is why it focuses on reflecting on the following question: What role does the researcher's voice play in describing the bodily transformations in clinical spaces involving people with severe COVID? Through Kleinman's notion of moral worlds, Turner's notion of liminality, Levinas ethics of otherness, and Butler's notion of power, the aim is to develop a deep interpretation of the moral, socioethical and political dimensions. To achieve this objective, I will return to memory as a narrative strategy of the author and his context in order to build an autoethnography that proposes theoretical categories such as liminal body, economy of hope and socialization of morality to describe and analyze the clinical context and the body changes during the COVID pandemic.

Keywords:

Body, COVID, memory, autoethnography, clinical spaces.
