"The (s)elective Mountain. Spatial proximity and social distance around refuges"
Are there social #inequalities regarding access to the ‘nearby #mountain’ - that is, mountain for day #hikes or hikes lasting a few days with overnight stays in tents or refuges? Are they so strong that the hikers who meet on mountain paths and in and around mountain refuges share homogenous social profiles? Or does the ‘nearby mountain’ bring together people from different social backgrounds, with potentially antagonistic approaches and #representations of the mountains? And what happens then?
