%X Ce travail qualitatif de socio-anthropologie est centr¨¦ sur l¡¯analyse du r¨¦cit de vie d¡¯une famille de sans-papiers. L¡¯objectif est de d¨¦crire et d¡¯analyser de fa on approfondie l¡¯articulation entre l¡¯aide alimentaire et les conditions de vie de personnes y ayant recours. Cette approche par l¡¯alimentation apporte un ¨¦clairage particulier sur la situation des personnes se trouvant sans autorisation de travail sur le territoire, car les sans-papiers constituent une des figures extr¨ºmes de d¨¦pendance au soutien mis en place par la soci¨¦t¨¦ civile, les associations caritatives. Si la situation des sans-papiers se situe ¨¤ la marge de la marge, elle r¨¦v¨¨le cependant des logiques de fonctionnement qui soulignent plus largement la dimension heuristique des pratiques alimentaires pour appr¨¦hender la vari¨¦t¨¦ des situations de pauvret¨¦. Depending on charitable food aid distribution: the case of undocumented immigrants.This qualitative socio-anthropological work is focused on the analysis of a life narrative of an undocumented immigrant family. The objective of this paper is to describe and analyze in detail the relations between food aid and the living conditions of people dependent on charitable donations. This method of obtaining food provides a particular perspective on the situation of undocumented immigrants and reveals their extreme dependence on public programs, as seen by their submissive behavior when receiving aid from charitable associations. Analyzing the situation of undocumented immigrants who belong to the extreme margins of poverty reveals more than what influences their dietary practices: it helps to better understand the various situations of poverty.
