#235 - Ming 25: Some Light Treason

Nicole, 63 ans, est une des rares femmes pêcheuse de crevettes à Dunkerque. Ancienne ouvrière du textile et mère de six enfants, elle trouve dans cette pratique réservée aux hommes une échappatoire, un moment de paix. L'eau soigne son corps abîmé par le travail en usine, les maternités et le travail domestique. Nicole est aussi championne du monde de décorticage de crevettes ! Elle raconte qu'elle a pu gagner 10 fois ce concours grâce au travail en usine, qui lui a fait exercer sa rapidité et sa dextérité. Les médias soudain parlent d'elle. Nicole se voit reconnue hors du cercle domestique. Une récompense ? Une revanche ? Un plaisir ?
Au-delà de l'image folklorique de la pêche à la crevette, cet épisode d'Un podcast à soi / Une vie à soi interroge le rapport au temps, au travail domestique, à la reconnaissance. Et donne à entendre des résistances invisibles.

Mon ARTE - 30 ans d’aventures racontés par ses salarié.es
A travers les témoignages des salarié.e.s, cette série en 5 épisodes invite à plonger dans les 30 ans de la chaîne culturelle ARTE. Une odyssée parfois cosmique, souvent comique, faite d’orages solaires et de disquettes informatiques, d’entente franco-allemande et de réunions Teams, de pizza et d’Internet, de hard-rock et de sang de chèvre. Un podcast d'entreprise garanti sans mot du directeur ni de la DRH, qui relate en toute liberté les petits ratés et les grands succès de l’aventure d’ARTE.

Enregistrement : 2022 - Prises de son, montage, réalisation : Thomas Guillaud-Bataille - Mise en ondes, musique originale et mix : Samuel Hirsch - Production : ARTE Radio, ARTE France

Mon ARTE (5/5)

Le dirty talking ou dirty talk : en français, le parler sale. Les trucs un peu hard qu'on (se) dit au lit. La sexualité étant un espace hautement culturel, on a même réussi à codifier le dérapage – il s'agit d'être explicite mais pas trop, de se dire des cochonneries mais pas trop. Maïa Mazaurette donne quelques conseils de bon sens illustrés de sons réjouissants.
