Abstract: The various modes of proximity are frequently apprehended through objective measurement models. However, in their early works, scholars of the Proximity school also emphasized the subjective nature of proximity: this initial insight has progressively lost ground in recent research works. Our purpose in this paper is to revisit this subjective dimension, using a qualitative research. We have interviewed actors involved in five telemedicine projects developed in Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes area. The main theoretical contribution of our research is to reveal how the subjective dimension of proximity shapes every of its modes, although in a dual and ambivalent manner. We evidenced that this subjective construct of proximity combined with the ambivalence of expressions generates the sense of a "global" proximity. We therefore advocate for a redefinition of proximity as a global compounded notion contrary to previous views articulating multiple modes of proximities.
