Abstract :
[en] 1This article proposes to reflect on the properties of ‟community-multitudes” based on the principle of networking. During the COVID-19 pandemic, they constitute spontaneous, often temporary forms of sociality where resistance against the scourge is organised. The paper aims to examine a number of initiatives that produce sometimes improbable collectives, made to disappear or to last beyond the crisis. Emphasis is placed on the ethics of ‟care” and the form of life ‟care” at the base of the ‟neighbourhood” and solidarity relationships that are established in a building, a street, a city, or even between teachers and students in a university. In what way is the ethics of care capable of questioning traditional thought patterns? In this context, the focus is on the power and impact of ‟weak ties” compared to ‟strong ties” within the family, the professional setting, etc.
