D istance and A wareness of F iction —E xploring the C oncepts

Abstract

The article explores distance as a generic aesthetic concept and exposes aspects of distance relevant to drama education. Distance is commonly conceived of as a stylistic device. But the concept is complex. Embedded in it are significant aspects related to experiencing and teaching dramatic art, such as awareness of fiction, aesthetic doubling, building belief, and protection.The article's main theoretical references are Edward Bullough's aesthetic theory [1912] and Daphna Ben Chaim's audience reception theory (1984), from which conceptions of distance are deliberated. Some applications of distance are alluded to and briefly discussed from the literature of drama pedagogy.
