International audience ; The global COVID-19 Coronavirus outbreak overwhelmed the world in 2020. The unprecedent pandemic situation, elicited by the invisible virus SARS-CoV-2, shattered people's usual benchmarks and representations of reality. Storytelling proliferates in times of crisis because this universal phenomenon allows people to structure the shapeless reality via meaning-making processes, and therefore to cope with the collective upheaval that represents the COVID-19 outbreak. The current research aims to investigate the storytelling underpinning the social construction of the invisible virus, conveyed by written and oral narratives of older adults. The automatized qualitative data analyses of older adults' written narratives (N = 144) demonstrated that the virus represents serious danger of sickness which arouses negative emotional reactions and the duality of life and death. The analyses of older adults' oral narratives (N = 26) demonstrated that their storytelling tends to anchor the biological functioning of the virus, which remains a mystery and a source of various fears, fantasies and fascinations. Furthermore, the "war metaphor" and martial rhetoric that emerged in the storytelling of older adults indicate a shared pool of knowledge that resonates in line with the COVID-19 mass media and political storytelling in France. Indeed, older adults' storytelling is anchored within specific spatio-temporal dimensions, as every extreme situation occurs within a particular time and space. Thus, the storytelling of a virus, that should be apprehended as a journey of meaning, demonstrates a hidden coherence and a collectively shared base of COVID-19 narratives.

La complexité de la pandémie de COVID-19 révèle d'importants débats méthodologiques et des défis quant à l'articulation de différentes approches de recherche. La recherche sociétale actuelle concernant la COVID-19 met en évidence la nécessité d'une étude holistique de la situation de la pandémie de COVID-19, fondée sur une approche de recherche multidisciplinaire. L'approche multidisciplinaire apparaît indispensable pour saisir l'ennemi invisible qu'est le virus SARS-COV-2 et ses conséquences sociétales à « l'effet domino ». Dans cet article, nous proposons des pistes de réflexion concrètes qui s'appuient sur les approches méthodologiques de l'intelligence collective et de co-design. En effet, celles-ci permettent d'engager une logique de fertilisation croisée des disciplines en positionnant l'objet d'étude au centre des préoccupations de chacune des disciplines convoquées. C'est à partir de cette fertilisation croisée que le projet CoviZion pourra évoluer en passant d'un dispositif multidisciplinaire à un dispositif interdisciplinaire voire transdisciplinaire permettant une lecture à 360 degrés de la situation sociétale complexe et inédite qu'est la crise COVID-19. Cette approche transdisciplinaire est essentielle et connaît des implications importantes, notamment celle de fournir des outils permettant une meilleure efficacité dans la gestion des crises sanitaires par les politiques de santé publiques particulièrement. ; The complexity of the COVID-19 pandemic reveals important methodological debates and challenges with regard to the articulation of different research disciplines. The current COVID-19 societal research highlights the need for a holistic study of the COVID-19 pandemic issues based on a multidisciplinary research approach. The multidisciplinary approach appears to be essential to seize the invisible enemy of SARS-CoV-2 virus and related "domino effect" of consequences. In this article, we propose concrete avenues of reflection, drawn on innovative approaches of collective intelligence and ...
