Existing studies on atmosphere tend to emphasize its diffuse nature while leaving its boundary issue insufficiently addressed. Informed by Sloterdijk's spherology, this paper argues that an atmospheric ensemble comprises not a seamless totality but different micro-atmospheres whose thresholds adjoin and jostle, reshaping the ensemble's socio-affective dynamics and symbolic environment along with their formation, maintenance, infiltration and disruption. To articulate these processes, this paper draws upon Lefebvre's rhythmanalysis as a framework, and applies it to the empirical data obtained from a five-month field study of Guangchangwu dancing at Jialing Park in Chongqing, China. Accordingly, a dance group's choreography, playlist and style bend individual members to its peculiar rhythms of collective dancing, and thereby construct around them an atmospheric threshold within which they internalize the aesthetic values, rules and identities of their group and define themselves in opposition to other groups as a constitutive outside. Furthermore, inside a group, thresholds of leadership, membership and selfhood rub against each other across embodied rhythms of teaching, imitating, accommodating and affective exchange, throughout the process of which the three spheres co-constitute and negotiate with each other, hence recalibrating the group's socio-affective status quo while enabling dancers to develop variegated identities and relations. This paper concludes that atmospheric threshold provides a conceptual lens to address the ideologically formative dimension of atmosphere on a horizontal level.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47492,"journal":{"name":"Emotion Space and Society","volume":"60 ","pages":"Article 101211"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2026-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148641334","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 interviews with yoga teachers in the United Kingdom, and building upon literatures on attunement (Stewart, 2011; Ash and Gallacher, 2015) and the complex causality of atmospheres (Anderson and Ash, 2015; Finn, 2016), the paper conceptualises atmospheric labour as embodied work directed toward modulating the environmental, sensorial and affective qualities that constitute an atmosphere. Unlike emotional, aesthetic, or affective labour, atmospheric labour targets the milieu itself. Through teachers’ accounts, the paper shows how workers cultivate and intensify practices of attunement, how they navigate atmospheric indeterminacy, and how this labour extends beyond the temporal boundaries of the class through preparatory and ongoing self-work. Developing the concept of atmospheric labour advances understandings of human–atmosphere relations and positions yoga teaching as a clearly articulated example of a wider set of proliferating, precarious and gendered forms of embodied service work in which workers are increasingly tasked with modulating atmospheres.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47492,"journal":{"name":"Emotion Space and Society","volume":"60 ","pages":"Article 101217"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2026-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148951652","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}

Grief for a place's passing heightens emotional connections to landscapes, and echoes the mourning for a loved one. The resonances between landscapes and people are captured in the concept of personhood, lending to the idea that a place that is suffering may be conceived of as a patient. Palliative care has the capacity to reveal how contradictory positions—such as living and dying concurrently—may be negotiated in constructive ways. In accepting that some patients cannot be physically healed, it turns its attention to helping individuals, and those who love them, to face the end of life on their own terms. We thus explore the potential of palliative care, as an ethos, to engage the complex emotions and losses wrought by global warming. Working with students to employ speculative design as a tool to actively think through these possibilities, we explore how the conceptual frame of palliative care might provide a provocative—even shocking—vision for how to negotiate the passing of places, and the navigation of the emotional consequences of climate change.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47492,"journal":{"name":"Emotion Space and Society","volume":"59 ","pages":"Article 101177"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2026-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147950917","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}

Among the outputs of this project was the digital ‘Traveller Community Mapping Coolock StoryMap’, launched in November 2022. As an example of publicly engaged, research-led collaborative geographies, we firstly discuss this conceptual framework, placing public engagement under the umbrella of collaborative geographies. We argue that paying attention to emotional moments around the mapping allowed for richer collaborative geographies. We focus on a range of emotions, both our own and our interpretations of others, including: connection, surprise, concern and embarrassment. We consider how these four emotions, which were tied to the multiple space-times of enacting collaborative geographies, may have been difficult at times but also included moments of personal growth and group learning. We reflect on this project, noting the complexity of collaborative geographies, including paying attention to and working through the emotions that emerge while researching.

This article examines how non-human grievability is negotiated within an Australian-based Facebook pet loss support group. Drawing on in-depth qualitative interviews with bereaved animal guardians, we consider grief as a relational and socially mediated emotion that becomes legible through practices of recognition and witnessing. In bringing Judith Butler's work on grievability into dialogue with Richardson and Schankweiler's discussion of affective witnessing, we explore how grief over companion animals is both affectively experienced and normatively regulated within digital environments. Participants describe navigating cultural hierarchies that downplay non-human loss while also finding validation through recursive practices of co-mourning within the group. We also show how Facebook's socio-material affordances, including closed group membership, moderation, and persistent visibility, shape how grief circulates, accumulates, and is regulated over time. In doing so, this article extends debates on grievability into digitally mediated contexts and contributes to scholarship on affect, platformed mourning and multispecies relationality.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47492,"journal":{"name":"Emotion Space and Society","volume":"59 ","pages":"Article 101176"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2026-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147797465","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}

Rather than viewing road crashes as mere physical collisions, this paper understands them as socio-material encounters in which emotions – particularly guilt – play a constitutive role. Drawing on ethnomethodological go-alongs and interviews with persons who have been involved in crashes in Central Europe, we examine how guilt emerges in road crash situations and how it relates to the larger system of automobility. We show that guilt emerges as deeply intertwined with responsibility, as a rationalized, individualized, and human-centred practice. As such, guilt saturates (Ahmed, 2014) the whole system of automobility, which becomes sticky through various objects and socio-material relations such as police reports, crumpled car bodywork, or the reporting of guilt to (significant) others. In this way, we argue, automobility effectively normalizes systemic violence. Yet, navigating guilt also involves contesting its individual and human-centred forms—this is done mainly through highlighting the socio-material complexity of the road crashes, such as wet roads or road layouts. Despite these contestations, structural forces often remain silenced, allowing guilt to function as a mechanism that conceals the systemic violence entangled with automobility.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47492,"journal":{"name":"Emotion Space and Society","volume":"59 ","pages":"Article 101178"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2026-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147797464","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}

Employing an autoethnographic approach, I will mobilize my personal experiences to reflect on my affects in translation and on the translation of affects. To this end, I focus on my translation from Romanian into English of five letters sent from communist Romania to Radio Free Europe (RFE) in Munich in the 1980s.

My analysis of the translated corpus engages with the concepts of ‘affective labour’ (Koskinen, 2020) and ‘affective agency’ (Finn, 2013) to reflect on the problematics of emotions in translation. The results underline the effectiveness and adequacy of a literal strategy that remains close to the cadences and emotional vibrations of the letters.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47492,"journal":{"name":"Emotion Space and Society","volume":"58 ","pages":"Article 101132"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2026-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145610122","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}
