Loneliness and Relational Biography
Résumé
This paper addresses the problem of loneliness in the increasing elderly community. This can be considered as a health and social problem. The objective of this research is to identify the relational patterns of the elderly in order to help them recreate a network of relationships suited to their unique needs. The research method examines the dynamics of relationships, which include interactions such alliances and breaks, commonalities and affinities, meeting places, including the use of social networks on the web. Our work is integrated in the field of affective communication as defined by F. Martin-Juchat. The proposed work will rely on observation methods and interviews with elderly and on the notion of situation, described by A. Mucchielli. We want to create a model of intervention which uses narrative methods to understand how a person builds his social network.
