Representing distance, consuming distance

Gunvor Riber Larsen · VBN Forskningsportal (Aalborg Universitet) · 2010

Title: Representing Distance, Consuming Distance<br/><br/>Abstract: Distance is a condition for corporeal and virtual mobilities, for desired and actual travel, but yet it has received relatively little attention as a theoretical entity in its own right. Understandings of and assumptions about distance are present in theoretical and empirical elaborations on mobility, but these remain largely implicit and unchallenged (Bauman 1998). This talk will endeavour to unmask distance as a theoretical entity by exploring ways in which distance can be understood and by discussing distance through its representations and consumption. Often thought of as static and tangible, distance remains a social construct that is closely related to space and mobility - it is not just a simple measure of physical difference that is above and beyond social and theoretical importance. Thus distance must be understood through its relations to mobility and its social context. Such an understanding can be approached through representations, as distance is being represented in various ways, most noticeably in maps and through the notions of space and Otherness. The question this talk subsequently asks is whether these representations of distance are being consumed in the contemporary society, in the same way as places, media, cultures and status are being consumed (Urry 1995, Featherstone 2007). An exploration of distance and its representations through contemporary consumption theory could expose what role distance plays in forming the spatialities and mobilities of society and culture.

Distance from a distance: Psychological distance reduces sensitivity to any further psychological distance.

Sam J. Maglio, Yaacov Trope, Nira Liberman · Journal of Experimental Psychology General · 2012

What is the difference between far and further? Investigations into such psychological distancing--removal from an egocentric reference point--have suggested similarities between geographical space, time, probability, and social distance. We draw on these similarities to propose that experiencing any kind of distance will reduce sensitivity to any other distance. Nine studies varied the initial distance of an event and assessed sensitivity to a second distance. Consistently, people were less responsive to a given span of distance when it was distal versus proximal. This effect held using each of the four distances as the initial instantiation of distance; it also held using each dimension to assess sensitivity to distance (i.e., as the second distance dimension). These findings suggest that the dimensions of psychological distance share a common, interchangeable meaning and that the cross-dimension difference between far and further is less than that between near and far.

&lt;p&gt;Linear regression of the relationship of genetic distance to geographic distance by species. The slopes of the lines of the ICF species &lt;i&gt;M&lt;/i&gt;. &lt;i&gt;rogeri&lt;/i&gt; (blue diamonds) and &lt;i&gt;M&lt;/i&gt;. &lt;i&gt;barrybressleri&lt;/i&gt; (red circles) are not significantly different from each other (F&lt;sub&gt;1&lt;/sub&gt; = 0.000, p = 0.995), but are significantly different from the DCF species &lt;i&gt;M&lt;/i&gt;. &lt;i&gt;oberthueri&lt;/i&gt; (green cross) (F&lt;sub&gt;1&lt;/sub&gt; = 111.036, p &lt; .0001).

Spatial Distance versus Social Distance

Michael Carolan · Island Press/Center for Resource Economics eBooks · 2017

This chapter takes aim at a sacred cow in alternative food movements: "local." If practices shape what we care about, then the potential of alternative food movements is not being fully realized by focusing narrowly on local food. After all, foodscapes can be "local," "close," and "compact" and still separate people.KeywordsSocial Distance TheoryFoodscapeAlternative Food MovementBacon ComeCivic AgricultureThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
