 | | | | Proximity, subjectivity, and space: rethinking distance in human geography This paper critically reviews the current status of the concept of distance in human geography in order to argue that recent experimentally-driven work in construal-level theory offers ample opportunities for recasting distance as a key geographical trope. After analysing the four entangled dimensions of distance revealed by construal-level theory (spatial distance; temporal distance; social distance; and hypothetical distance), the paper articulates this research program from experimental psychology with geographical work on non-representational theory, geographical... |

| The middle class' lost agency (Zine, lay-out is for printing) In the shadow of a nascent tyrannical rule, the event of 1986 EDSA revolution has come full circle: from an overflowing mass of people crashing against the hostile machinery of a dictatorship to a trickle of protesters fighting against the spectral remains1 of the former dictator.
