More specifically, it focuses on the framing processes (Benford and Snow, 2000) of both the organization's action and space. The article highlights how intimacy is produced and understood among the organization, be it sexual and affective relations or a social proximity framed as familial. It shows, however, how intimacy can allow the production of sexual violence. It then focuses on the strategies used to minimize and euphemize this violence, by framing asylum seekers as dangerous and threatening, by drawing on an anti-migrant and racist rhetorics, seemingly paradoxical for such an organization. The article subsequently shows how the strategies to counter these discourses are based on a problematization of the whiteness in the organization: expliciting race, in a context that is apparently colourblind (Bonilla-Silva, 2012), functions as a tool for framing relations between volunteers and asylum seekers. If focusing on the treatment of sexual violence shows how this support organization constitute a continuum of sexual violence (Kelly, 1987), I argue for the necessity of extending this classic notion to encompass their spatial and racial dimensions, which intersect with the patriarchal one. In order to exit the organization from this continuum of violence, volunteers create new intimacy boundaries.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47492,"journal":{"name":"Emotion Space and Society","volume":"60 ","pages":"Article 101213"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2026-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148854039","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}

This paper explores this dynamic through a resident-led elevator replacement project in a “work-unit” (<em>Danwei</em>) community in Guangzhou. We analyze the unique emotions within this specific type of housing. We examine how residents' affective expressions and demand served as a form of “affective mobilization.” Through this, we re-evaluate the role of affective infrastructures in community micro-renewal. Our findings are twofold. First, the aging facilities acted as embodied affective triggers. They sparked shared anxiety and a collective will to act. Second, the historical interpersonal ties from the “work-unit” era functioned as a form of social infrastructure. These ties facilitated affective negotiation and helped residents reach a consensus. This ultimately led to sustainable micro-renewal. Based on these findings, we reveal the mechanisms of affective mobilization that drive community transformation.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47492,"journal":{"name":"Emotion Space and Society","volume":"60 ","pages":"Article 101210"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2026-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148641337","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 affect theory scholars have explored how movement creates affective spaces, little attention has been paid to movement as affect itself. Based on multi-site ethnographic fieldwork along the Camino de Santiago in Spain, combining participant observation, interviews, and analysis of material culture, I introduce the concept of ‘flowing space’ to describe how continuous movement becomes both physical practice and emotional experience. I demonstrate how flow is not merely motion but an affect – an embodied emotional experience that emerges through pilgrims' movement and interaction with the Camino's material space. The Camino's structured infrastructure enables pilgrims to suspend decision-making and develop trust in the path, creating feelings of freedom and opportunities for self-transformation. This flowing experience, characterized by continuity, letting go of control, and trust, depends on pilgrims having the material resources and physical ability to use the Camino's infrastructure. This research advances affect theory by demonstrating how movement itself becomes an affective force, while discussing how material conditions shape access to spatial emotional experiences.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47492,"journal":{"name":"Emotion Space and Society","volume":"60 ","pages":"Article 101212"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2026-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148854502","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 earthquake in Sichuan Province, China, killed over 87,000 people and left 5.5 million people homeless. Hundreds of memorials were established across the disaster-affected area. Whether resettled or not, local people had to adapt to living in deathscapes among memorials, ruins and debris. Our research, undertaken 10 years after the earthquake, analysed 481 questionnaires. Results indicated that, when controlling for age, having a positive opinion of memorials led to a stronger sense of place. However, young people had a lower sense of place than older people, perhaps related to stage of lifecycle rather than the earthquake. Proximity and type of memorial also affected emotional experience of living in deathscapes and sense of place. We emphasize the importance of monitoring community views and evaluating post-disaster interventions. There should be inclusive, community-based processes of dialogue and negotiation around appropriate memorials and rituals in the post-disaster contexts.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47492,"journal":{"name":"Emotion Space and Society","volume":"60 ","pages":"Article 101216"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2026-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148951661","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}

Drawing on a contrasting theoretical framework through Sara Ahmed's culturally critical notion of sticky affects and Brian Massumi's aesthetic concept of pre-discursive intensities, the analysis traces ambiguous moments in which affective encounters create alternative sensibilities, while remaining embedded in histories of political power and institutional authority. Based on affective, sensory, and situated methodologies established through long-term fieldwork, the article develops an embodied approach to exploring the politics of affect in participatory art practices that are ephemeral, subtle, and felt. By analyzing how affect circulates through three artistic workshops involving colored smoke, shared meals, and laser light, the article highlights the frictions between aesthetic alternatives and political stickiness, showing how participatory art contradictorily opens spaces for embodied participation and reproduces existing power structures. By attending to these affective movements, the research contributes to an ambiguous understanding of the sensory, relational, and political dimensions of participatory art practices in Danish housing estates facing contested urban development.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47492,"journal":{"name":"Emotion Space and Society","volume":"60 ","pages":"Article 101215"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2026-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148854504","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}

In this paper, we draw out the tensions that geographers and literary scholars have been debating for decades in relation to constructions of childhood, finding the common ground between the two disciplines and underscoring what each can learn from the other. To do so, we explore both literal and metaphoric mappings of childhood to expound on the intersections between emotional geography and children's literature studies, looking at how each field offers methodological possibilities that aid in the challenging task of navigating the emotional terrain that often comes with both recovering and reflecting on children's lives. We focus on materials created by children, as a way of examining ‘voice’ through their perspective, drawing on an original archive of over 260 maps created by schoolchildren from five primary schools in the Northwest of England, alongside accompanying oral interviews with these children. This paper illuminates how the qualitative data that children create as they seek to narrate their identity and belonging underscores the various ways in which children's voices, and the interpretation and archiving of them by or with adult researchers, are shaped by emotions of nostalgia, desire, and power.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47492,"journal":{"name":"Emotion Space and Society","volume":"60 ","pages":"Article 101201"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2026-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148951660","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}

While physical spaces are accessible to many, interiority remains a uniquely personal domain; it can also contain an intangible yet real experience of space. This interior landscape exhibits characteristics of physical space: it can be vast or enclosed, illuminated or dark, in constant movement or still. While interiority has been examined across disciplines, its explicitly spatial dimensions receive little attention in contemporary academic discourse. Focusing on the spatial perception of a musical interval, this study employs an experimental-experiential methodology to document the researcher's engagement with inner spatial phenomena. Doing this requires deprivatising personal experiences, challenging and disobeying conventional academic paradigms that prioritise external, material phenomena. The article proposes that spatial experience forms a continuum linking bodily, aesthetic and supersensible dimensions of perception. Recognising this continuum invites more porous borders between disciplines and a re-examination of the epistemic conventions that separate art, consciousness and the study of space. By acknowledging interiority as a legitimate site of inquiry, it points toward a broader understanding of a continuum of perception, extending from sensory awareness to supersensible experience and questions the boundaries of what can be known.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47492,"journal":{"name":"Emotion Space and Society","volume":"60 ","pages":"Article 101209"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2026-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148641333","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}
