| Résumé: | While the entire population was affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, older adults were subject to specific treatment during this period, especially those living in nursing homes, which imposed profound constraints and limitations. Through a narrative and memorial approach, based on their narratives, this article explores the idea that recollections of this period would immediately inscribe themselves in memories, in life paths, or in individuals’ conceptions of themselves. It aims to retrospectively examine the traces left by the event, its (re)formulations, the processes of forgetting, and the ways in which past, present, and future are intertwined. The narratives of lockdown thus emerge as self-narratives. In line with these narratives, the article examines the disruptions generated by the crisis in the relationship to time, space, others, and oneself, noting how the event may have contributed to the emergence of questions and identity assertions in old age. It then presents the narrative strategies deployed to address them: to restore continuity beyond the crisis, to ensure coherence between performed and asserted self, and thus assert an active, or youthful identity, which the pandemic cannot have challenged. |
