Definition & Concepts

The encounter

verb (used with object)

to come upon or meet with, especially unexpectedly
to meet with or contend against (difficulties, opposition, etc.)
to meet (a person, military force, etc.) in conflict

verb (used without object)

to meet, especially unexpectedly or in conflict

noun

a meeting with a person or thing, especially a casual, unexpected, or brief meeting
a meeting of persons or groups that are in conflict or opposition: combat: battle

Psychology

a meeting of two or more people, as the members of an encounter group or a number of married couples (marriage encounter) conducted to promote direct emotional confrontation among the participants, especially as a form of therapy (encounter therapy)

Equal-Status Contact

An equal-status contact is a person or group who has a similar background, history, social role, and education. This is a concept of the contact hypothesis which is a theory regarding how best to improve relations between groups that display hostility towards each other.

The Contact Hypothesis

The Encounter

"I begin by critiquing some of the work celebrating urban encounters through using empirical examples of where contact with difference leaves attitudes and values unmoved, and even hardened, before going on to consider debates about what kind of encounters produces what might be termed 'meaningful contact'. By this I mean contact that actually changes values and translates beyond the specifics of the individual moment into a more general positieve respect for - rather than merely tolerance of - others. In doing so, I identify a paradoxical gap that emerges in geographies of encounter between values and practices." (Valentine, 2008, p.325).

Argument for intervening with the encounter, setting up the encounter

"Holland et al., 2007 found that, although their research sites were frequented by a range of different groups, this did not necessarily mean that there was any contact between the diverse inhabitants. Rather, their observation suggested that while different groups coexisted and even observed each other, none the less there was little actual mixing between different users who self-segregated within particular spaces carving out their own territory....... Likewise, Ash Amin (2002) has observed that city streets are spaces of transit that produce little actual connection or exchange between strangers. A process exacerbated by the emergence of a mobile phone culture, which Deborah Cameron (2000) has observed, contributes to incivility in public space as individuals move in and through locations while locked in the private worlds of their conversations with remote others." (Valentine, 2008, p.326).
