Résumé
Cet article interroge l’impératif d’objectivité et de distanciation qui est promu dans la recherche qualitative. À travers un dialogue sur nos expériences de filature, nous montrons que cet impératif se traduit notamment par la métaphore de l’ombre – présente dans le terme anglais shadowing – qui sous-tend cette démarche. Nous proposons une métaphore alternative de la filature comme tissage de relations, laquelle permet de souligner la nature profondément relationnelle et incarnée de cette démarche reposant sur la création et le développement d’une relation intime entre la personne fileuse (la chercheuse) et la personne filée.
Mots-clés :

Abstract
This article challenges the imperative of objectivity and detachment that is promoted in qualitative research. Drawing on a dialogue about our shadowing experiences, we demonstrate that this imperative is reflected in the shadow metaphor itself. We propose an alternative metaphor to shadowing as weaving relationships, which highlights the deeply relational and embodied nature of this process and the centrality of the relationship between the researcher (the shadower) and the person being shadowed (the shadowee). This alternative approach offers a more nuanced understanding of the research process.
Keywords:
