To analyse this process, the research proposes an ecological framework of sensory reconfiguration that integrates three interrelated dimensions: embodied difference, affective modulation, and habituation. The findings demonstrate that non-visual perception does not operate as a linear substitute for vision; rather, it emerges as a contingent, context-specific strategy shaped by bodily diversity and affective states. Affect functions as a central regulator of sensory prioritisation and risk assessment, while habituation gradually transforms unfamiliar sensations into embodied and structured forms of meaning. The study argues that sensory practices under visual deprivation critically challenge visual hegemony and expose the generative potential of multisensory coordination. By foregrounding the body's adaptive and creative capacities, this research offers a critical perspective to the fields of sensory studies, embodied phenomenology, and non-visual movement practices.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47492,"journal":{"name":"Emotion Space and Society","volume":"57 ","pages":"Article 101126"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-10-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145266992","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Our observations reveal that trips encompass a wide range of emotional registers, from positive activation to negative deactivation emotions, often contingent on the quality of the infrastructure. Furthermore, by combining observational material with participants’ interview narratives, we show that the intrinsic characteristics of these devices—lightness, manoeuvrability, and quiet operation—play a key role in how participants define relationships with infrastructure and the situations encountered. Across these accounts, a recurring ideal of frictionless mobility emerged, with riders expressing a strong expectation for uninterrupted travel that shaped both their behaviours and their emotional responses. By uncovering the interplay between cycling infrastructure, emotions, adaptive strategies and the pursuit of frictionless mobility, this paper shed light on the processes underpinning e-scooter satisfaction and underscores the importance of integrating affective dimensions into urban design.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47492,"journal":{"name":"Emotion Space and Society","volume":"57 ","pages":"Article 101124"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-09-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145221433","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This article examines the globally renowned water-splashing celebration on Khaosan Road, the popular and often controversial backpacker enclave of Bangkok, by adopting an ethnographic approach to explore the emotional entanglements among local street vendors and festivalgoers. Qualitative street interviews were conducted with street vendors and festivalgoers to gain a more nuanced understanding of their experiences and interpretations of <em>Songkran</em> at Khaosan Road. The authors argue that Songkran is a cultural rite of passage that impacts one's perception of time and space, where social norms are relaxed to a point where ritual and disorder co-exist in a liminal fashion. While foreign tourists enjoy the carnival-like atmosphere, some local street vendors often tolerate the disorder to retain memories of <em>Songkran's</em> cultural significance and an opportunity for economic gain. Through the confluence of embodied experiences, emotions, and festivity in the confines of Khaosan Road, <em>Songkran</em> is argued to be transformative for many who partake in it. Subsequent discussions highlight the role of interaction ritual chains in creating a liminal environment in terms of space, sights and sounds, enabling a liberating but temporary experience of alterity.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47492,"journal":{"name":"Emotion Space and Society","volume":"57 ","pages":"Article 101122"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-09-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145109299","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Transnationalism is highly developed within migration research but research rarely examines the influence of everyday trauma in relation to transnational ties. Furthermore, this approach to trauma is not traditionally analyzed from a purely empirical perspective. Based on three years of ethno-graphic fieldwork across Germany, this research engages with the period of early arrival and the struggle to start a new life under the burden of trauma. The article approaches trauma not as a condition that needs to be treated but as an unescapable subject emerging from fieldwork, which was based in everyday experience. The trauma observed among refugees is examined by showing how the immobility of young men with a strong desire to move existentially, in other words a “stuckedness,” was influenced by traumatic events. As a result of this desire, Syrians shifted their cultural connections to reassert their agency. The article shows how within transnational social fields material and symbolic capital are exchanged as well as negative experiences, triggers of past experiences, and evaluations of future prospects. The most important impact of this interaction is a form of existential immobility shaped by trauma, which inhibited refugees from securely envisioning their future in Germany.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47492,"journal":{"name":"Emotion Space and Society","volume":"57 ","pages":"Article 101119"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-09-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145027307","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While regional studies typically assess the impacts of economic crisis through macroeconomic indicators and performance metrics, this approach often obscures the emotional, relational, and embodied dimensions of disruption. Building on feminist geographic scholarship and Felski's (2000) theorization of the everyday, I show how crisis unsettles the temporal and spatial rhythms and habits that structure daily life, social roles, and intergenerational ties. The study foregrounds how livelihoods are sustained not only through production, but through informal labor, care work, and embodied knowledge passed down across generations. These everyday practices form subtle infrastructures of resilience—deeply rooted in place, yet vulnerable to state interventions and external shocks. The case of mink farming reveals how crisis reshapes not only what people do, but how they inhabit time, space, and community. By attending to these lived experiences, I offer an understanding of economic crisis—one that centers the silent, often invisible forms of labor and loss that accompany economic transformation.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47492,"journal":{"name":"Emotion Space and Society","volume":"57 ","pages":"Article 101121"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-09-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145005351","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
