ABSTRACT
Au sein de l'histoire militante des travaux d'aiguille, le patchwork américain, souvent engage sur le terrain politique et social, s'est a plusieurs reprises associé a des initiatives de santé publique. Dans la continuité du NAMES Memorial AIDS Quilt, projet majeur datant de 1987, la récente crise sanitaire du COVID-19 a été l'occasion d'un renouvellement de la pratique, exprimant une mobilisation solidaire (notamment par la confection de masques), un partage de l'expérience sensible a la croisée de l'expression personnelle et de l'articulation symbolique et au-dela, une dynamique de résistance politique en période de confinement. Le parcours critique proposé ici, fondé sur l'observation de projets individuels ou collectifs, vise a explorer comment le patchwork, croisant restriction et invention, se construit comme un nouveau vecteur d'opinion dans les combats sociétaux contemporains, au sein de la culture matérielle (dont il releve) et immatérielle (qui le prolonge).AlternateWithin the militant history of needlework, the American quilt, often politically and socially engaged, has repeatedly been associated with public health initiatives. In the continuity of the NAMES Memorial AIDS Quilt, a major project dating from 1987, the recent health crisis of COVID-19 was an opportunity for renewal of the practice. The collective effort of making face masks, as well as other creative sewing initiatives, demonstrated a will to endure and a desire to share the experience at the crossroads of personal expression and symbolic articulation, and beyond this, a dynamic of resistance during a period of lockdown. The critical journey proposed here, based on the observation of individual experiences or collective projects, aims to explore how patchwork, combining restriction and invention, is constructed as a new vector of opinion in contemporary societal struggles, within material culture (from which it arises) and immaterial culture (which prolongs it).
