This “spectral” dimension to infrastructure is investigated through case studies in Muscat, Oman and AlUla, Saudi Arabia, informed by participant observation, interviews, and discourse analysis. In Muscat, luxury hotel development has enclosed the formerly public coastline and today stimulates memories of past lifeways, while remaining beaches are haunted by rumors of future privatization. In AlUla, the construction of fences around heritage and ecological sites has excluded some residents while fostering narratives of environmental restoration. In each case, infrastructure becomes a site where the past is sustained in the present, generating a spectral landscape wherein new developments also mark an absent or negated lifeway. Attunement to the spectral “registers” of a landscape may offer a grounds for resistance, revealing counter-futures that oppose the logics of extraction.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47492,"journal":{"name":"Emotion Space and Society","volume":"58 ","pages":"Article 101151"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2026-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147420583","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}

In this article, we argue that, in the decades since its closure after a fire in 1987, the Hirschfeld has functioned as a site of individual and collective remembering, focusing the often-competing memories of people who spent time there and demonstrating the potentially contentious fault lines that can inform memory, identity and place. Drawing upon interviews with community members who experienced the Hirschfeld Centre during its operation, the research team developed a strategy of ‘close and distant listening'. The approach reflected the practical necessity of differing geographical locations and yet, at the same time, rhymed with the subject matter of the research: disjunctive temporalities and dislocated spatialities. The research team's methodology points toward the diversity of ways to recognize emotions associated with remembering queer spaces and offers an ethical approach acknowledging the researchers' affective and geographical positionality.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47492,"journal":{"name":"Emotion Space and Society","volume":"57 ","pages":"Article 101130"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145624107","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}

In this paper, I study how economic crises are lived and felt at the level of everyday life, drawing on the experiences of Danish mink farmers who were forced to cull their animals and shut down their farms during the COVID-19 pandemic. 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":"2025-11-01","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}

While surveys consistently rank e-scooters as a highly satisfying transport mode, such evaluations often reduce complex experiences to a single numeric score, leaving much unexplored. Using a video-recorded ride-along interview methodology, this study examines how infrastructure and spatial configurations influence the affective experiences of 12 e-scooter riders in Barcelona. 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":"2025-11-01","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}

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":"2025-11-01","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}

Drawing on narrative ethnographic data from two farm communities in mountainous areas in Gia Lai and Da Lat, the study conceptualizes these urban-to-rural transitions as aspirational reorientations shaped by emotional exhaustion, familial disconnection, and desires for a slower, more meaningful life. Building on de Haas's aspiration–capabilities framework and Antonsich's notion of belonging as becoming, the analysis frames rural relocation as a dynamic process of negotiating aspirations, enacting affective labor, and experimenting with new modes of belonging. Practices such as caregiving, storytelling, and slow daily routines emerge as strategies to reclaim agency and reconfigure selfhood outside normative urban trajectories. These affective strategies reflect broader emotional realignments that underpin youth disengagement from dominant urban futures.
