Long abstractImagine a piece of paper, completely blank, except for a small black dot directly in the center. And then a small arrow pointing to the dot, and next to that, the phrase is written, “You Are Here.” Strictly speaking, the dot is where you are. Paraphrasing Italo Calvino’s short story, “All At One Point,” which describes the time before the universe expanded, when all of matter was concen-trated in a single point, and everyone and everything, in the words of the narrator, “was packed in there like sardines,”2 every point of each of us coincides with every point of everyone else in a single point, which is where we all are. There is nowhere else. The idea of distance, or separation, or estrangement, is a dream. Which is not to say we should not mind the gaps.
