Approcci multi-method per l'esplorazione delle pratiche di malattia infantile : riflessioni metodologiche sulla combinazione tra strumenti creativi e tecniche tradizionali

Children's health and illness can be usefully investigated through the concept of "social practice", which allows to analyse both the processes by which adults and children produce responses given the constraints and resources of their own life contexts, and the givenforgranted that recalls the system of meanings of the culture in which they are embedded. From a methodological point of view, tools such as vignettes adopted within the mosaic approach proved useful in analysing everyday practices through which the children experience of illness could be captured.contribution proposes a critical reflection on the use of vignettes, emphasising how the combination with other techniques and tools allows the complexity of the children's point of view and the skills that children concretely use to give meaning to their and others' everyday experiences of health and illness to emerge.
