Abstract: At a time when the term proximity is facing an inflation of more or less well-defined usages, this article proposes some elements of clarification. To this end, I believe it would be useful to apply the resource/asset binomial, proposed 30 years ago by G. Colletis and B. Pecqueur, to the study of proximities. This distinction between potential and activation is based on the same logic as the motility/mobility binomial proposed by V. Kaufmann at the dawn of the 2000s. This will enable us to return to what makes proximity a resource, so that it can be invoked wisely. We can see that mobility takes up too much space in our understanding of the value of proximity. However, at a time when environmental transitions are more than necessary, a maximized and reasoned use of proximity seems necessary. The search for what I call a hyperproxible society must therefore be an accepted objective.
