Between Distance and Proximity and the Concept of Neighbourhood in the Caucasus
Between Distance and Proximity and the Concept of Neighbourhood in the Caucasus
Neighbourhood is a relational concept, which can be associated with different considerations and reflections in the field of tension between demarcation and communication. In the conflictual region of Caucasus, the concept of neighbourhood as well as neighbourly practices seems to have a specific density, producing a crisis-like complexity between proximity and distance. The next Caucasus Network roundtable will focus on questions about the dynamics of neighbourly relations in the Caucasus region from social, political and spatial dimensions.
