The Vocabulary of Distance

How has “distance” come about? Has there been a transformation of thinking distance? Does its normalization and subsequent normativization announce a paradigmatic shift “about” distance? An important note about the present thematization of “distance” is that it has emerged from observations of sanitary processes, as well as political and institutional decisions made during the 2020 pandemic, including the coercions and restrictions it caused.

This volume shows the results a cultural studies perspective on the pandemic crisis may yield in the light of the law-as-culture paradigm. The diversity of the disciplines practiced at the Käte Hamburger Kolleg "Law as Culture" as well as the internationality of its fellows and fellow campaigners contribute to directing the normative and legal analysis developed at the Kolleg towards phenomena which at the same time provide us with a unique laboratory for the "condition humaine".
