ABSTRACT
This article analyzes 16 interviews carried out between 2020 and 2021, in an oral history project on the daily life of COVID-19, exploring how the notions of time, testimony and history are triggered in the pandemic context. Attention was paid to the narratives of state public managers and low-income undergraduate students on two questions: “Would you have anything to add that was not asked?” and “Why did you accept to be part of the research?”. These questions gave access to testimonies on the act of witnessing, allowing reflections on history as an experience and as a process of knowledge construction.
