CONCEPT
The global emergency due to the COVID-19 pandemics strongly impacted on the
perception and management of distances. Social, economic, logistics and psychological
consequences of distancing procedures affected many aspects of our life and
interactions, allowing rethinking and reshaping spaces both physical and virtual, and
involving new forms of theoretical and practical thoughts and studies.
Within this scenario, the dynamic interplay between physical and virtual distances has
assumed new forms, forcing innovative cross-disciplinary attitudes to develop as well as the design of new perspectives for the future of research.
This workshop, which focuses on Japan and Italy, combines multidisciplinary research
to discuss the notion of distance, in continuation with a previous event held in 2020
(https://iseas-kyoto.org/workshops/e3602).
Also in this edition, the workshop gathers scholars and experts from different
disciplines and aims to converge their knowledge on the common discussion platform of how the perception of distance is addressing new research trends in scientific and
humanistic studies.
