- 2. LOVE NARRATION 1) Abstract In this research paper the question is “what is the effect of physical distance on love narration?”. Through some pages I am going to analyze some data which I gained in 10 video clips which are collected on Instagram, YouTube, and also telegram application. In these videos all the words and phrases which were somehow related to the narration of love among two people are recorded (their frequency of occurrence) and provided in written form. The gathered data belongs to same people when they are close to each other and also when there is a physical distance. 2) Keywords love, narration, distance. 3) Introduction If I am going to be exact, first of all I should define what is narration and what is its relation to our life. Love between two people are conveyed and sent (narrated) by many different ways which we are going to show some examples in this research. What’s narration? If we want to answer this question, we can say that narration is “telling stories or expressing your thoughts and feelings in words and maybe physical activities (gestures)” “Navigating a new relationship is supposed to be fun and exciting, but when distance interferes with the getting-to-know you stage, various challenges can arise.” In this quotation the effect of distance on love or relationships is noticed and mentioned, so it’s clear that distance make it hard to maintain a relationship and prove faithfulness. According to JEROME BRVNER, narration shapes our way of communicating with each other: “Narrative is rather an all-purpose vehicle. It not only shapes our ways of communicating with each other and our ways of experiencing the world, but it also gives form to what we imagine, to our sense of what is possible.” What is Love? it is an intense feeling of deep affection for someone or something. Narration when comes with love, means the way someone is going to show “LOVE” to another person. It may be just some short sentences or some physical activities (kissing or hugging).
- 3. LOVE NARRATION 4) History of the research Most popular contemporary ideas about love can be traced to the classical Greek philosophers. Prominent in this regard is Plato’s Symposium. It is a systematic and seminal analysis whose major ideas have probably influenced contemporary work on love more than all subsequent philosophical work combined. However, four major intellectual developments of the 19th and 20th centuries provided key insights that helped shape the agenda for current research and theory of love. There are some quotes for long distance relationships which clearly shows love and how some people narrate “love” when there is a physical distance between them: ? Ocean separates lands, not souls. – Munia Khan ? Distance means so little when someone means so much. – Tom McNeal ? In many ways, the art of love is largely the art of persistence. – Albert Ellis ? Absence sharpens love. Presence strengthens it. – Thomas Fuller Some ways to show love according to “ www.lifehack.org ” : a) Engage in Physical Affection. b) Hang out together. c) Kiss each other. d) Tell them you love them. Narration of love is to make your partner understand that you have feelings for them, so it may be with physical activities.
