While numerous studies offer valuable insights into household consumption, food access, and adaptive strategies, they often overlook how food insecurity is an inherently emotional experience, deeply connected to—and continuously interacting with—broader sociopolitical dynamics. Consequently, scholars pay insufficient attention to how emotional responses to food insecurity reshape space, place, and drive sociopolitical change. Drawing on insights from emotional geography, this paper explores the emotional dimension of food insecurity, recognizing how it is shaped by sociocultural relations, perceptions of inequality, and narratives of injustice. Focusing on the food crisis in Havana, Cuba, this study takes an ethnographic approach to reveal that emotional responses to food insecurity impact (1) individual and social experiences of food consumption, (2) perceptions, experiences, and use of public space, (3) individual and collective perceptions of identity, and (4) power dynamics and perceived government legitimacy. This leads to significant sociopolitical and spatial changes at the household, urban, and national levels. We conclude that an emotional lens to food insecurity provides essential insights into how personal, yet socially shaped, emotions spill over from the household level to “jumping scales” and catalyzing broader sociopolitical change.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47492,"journal":{"name":"Emotion Space and Society","volume":"55 ","pages":"Article 101089"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2025-04-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143859576","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}

They are also opportunities to have fun and forget the worries of the day. In such an understanding, aggression, anger, fear, frustration, and other negative emotions and attitudes are associated with attendee dissatisfaction and, as such, are hopefully exceptional conditions to be avoided through skilful event management. This paper challenges our conventional wisdom about festivals by bringing up the example of festivals of gender dissent (women's, feminist, LGBTQ+), which deliberately allocate parts of the program for the expression of anger and fear, to name a few of such negative emotions, through different art performances, workshops and dance. In particular, the paper examines whether and how the liminality of festivals i.e. their temporal and spatial exceptionalism allows for the disruption of culturally conditioned and gendered patterns of emotional expression and experience. In order to do so, the paper situates personal observations and interviews with festival organizers and performers within a broader framework of literature on emotions in critical event studies and anger and gender (dissent).</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47492,"journal":{"name":"Emotion Space and Society","volume":"55 ","pages":"Article 101087"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2025-04-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143843815","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}

Twitter data, images and fundraising materials were collected under the #NHSBigTea hashtag, which coordinates and celebrates annual fundraising events by NHS charities across the UK. Targeting existing affective attachments to ‘our NHS’, nationalistic rhetoric and the imperative to ‘give something back’ after Covid are shown to be part of wider feeling rules which create the NHS as an idealised object requiring performative displays of gratitude and positive affect. Discursive positioning of fundraisers and NHS staff as heroes becomes problematic in an affective economy where national calls to “be there” and show our love for the NHS set unrealistic demands and obscure existing deficits and existential threats to the NHS. Drawing on psychoanalytic perspectives, the article shows how, in times of crisis, displays of gratitude, love and positivity may defend against ambiguous feelings and intense fears of losing the NHS. These difficult emotions and anxieties must be acknowledged to avoid dangerous idealisations and allow a different relationship based not on gratitude but emotional and material investment.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47492,"journal":{"name":"Emotion Space and Society","volume":"55 ","pages":"Article 101086"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2025-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143738421","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The study has expanded the literature review to provide a stronger theoretical foundation for examining atmospheres within the urban context, with a particular focus on the intersection of graffiti, street art, and the broader sensory experience of a location. Drawing on non-representational sensory ethnographic methods, the research analyses how the interplay of light, air, and the presence of graffiti/street art shapes the experience and perception of a place. Through on-site observation, interviews, and photographic documentation, the paper explores how these transient, environmental factors contribute to a sense of atmosphere and their role in cultivating a place-making experience for users of the space. The finding suggests that the atmospheric conditions of a place, including its sensory qualities, can significantly impact how people perceive and engage with graffiti and street art, evoking a sense of nostalgia, belonging, and attachment to the urban environment.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47492,"journal":{"name":"Emotion Space and Society","volume":"55 ","pages":"Article 101085"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2025-03-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143681010","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}

For men, restrooms offer a space to momentarily shed and quietly reaffirm corporate masculinity, while for women, they become sanctuaries of shared vulnerability and mutual support. Politically, these spaces provide informal arenas for navigating workplace power dynamics and hierarchies away from official scrutiny. Beyond their functional design, these restrooms enable moments of collective strength and resistance, reflecting broader societal issues around gender expectations, emotional labor, and the strains of corporate life. In highlighting how such ordinary spaces shape emotional experiences and social relations, the study highlights the potential for solidarity and resistance within even the most controlled environments, revealing the deeper social challenges embedded in everyday emotional landscapes.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47492,"journal":{"name":"Emotion Space and Society","volume":"55 ","pages":"Article 101079"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2025-03-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143534193","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 tri-state region, sitting on the Marcellus shale, has witnessed a significant industrial buildout in the form of pipelines and hydraulic fracturing in the last fifteen years. This buildout is compounded by social vulnerability and environmental degradation resulting from the historical extractivism that has shaped Appalachia. From the results of this research, we argue that gas extraction, production, and distribution are not only a physical construction but also a system of unfairness and marginalization that materializes in emotional, embodied harms to residents.
