Queering the pandemic at work, a fictocritical tale

Author

Listed:
  • Pierre Lescoat

Abstract

This short paper blurs fiction and theoretical analysis to describe how a non‐binary subject experiences the pandemic. The story focuses on one day and three moments: before work, during work, and after work. The tale illustrates how living at the margins of heteronormativity enacts new forms of subjectivities. It also contributes to the writing differently movement by mixing fiction, theoretical insights, and other forms of writing. This is what I call a fictocritical text, mixing genres and genders to encourage critical thinking.
