Space in Times of Plague
Bożena Błażewicz
Abstract
The article deals in a general way with the subject of the relationship between man and space in the context of the forced isolation introduced last year. It refers to the ways of using space as described by E.T. Haal and to the types of distance described by proxemics. It tells about the observed people’s reactions to the enforced social distancing and attempts to introduce changes in the way of using shared places. It draws attention to the complete change of the function of space, which was to connect people, to the one that divides co-users.
From time to time there comes a day when the certainty of the stability of the existing world which we have fostered turns out to be a total illusion. In an instant, we must change the way we function, including all our habits, so as to adjust to the new, unwanted reality. Each time surprised by this unhappy turn of events, we believe that „next time” we will be wiser having survived another failure. “There were as many plagues in the world as wars. Nevertheless, people are always surprised by their occurrence”
