The evidence for this argument stems from phenomenological reflection on my experiences and positionality within research settings, in the field, and as both a mental health patient and practitioner. This paper is a methodological account which aims to embrace the messy complexities of research and draws on a wide range of literature, principally, feminist care ethics, relational ontologies, philosophies of science and knowledge production, and democratic therapeutic communities.

We build the argument by using John Horton and Peter Kraftl's (2006) idea of space as a verb and discuss how failure may be a catalyst for <em>spacing</em> processes. While acknowledging and valuing recent steps towards the creation of institutionalized safer spaces, we question the sufficiency of representational measures and worry about tokenization in safer space guidelines. We argue that safer spaces must be built with an atmosphere of openness, which often exceeds the limits of representational disclosures. We, therefore, probe failure and discomfort as affectual states that may have the potential to create fractures in taken-for-granted ways of thinking/being. Mobilizing Ben Anderson's (2009) concept of affective atmosphere, we emphasize the importance of <em>hesitation</em> and <em>experimentation</em> in opening space for <em>difference.</em> In particular, we focus on the neurodiversity spectrum, understood as a non-fixed continuum (Yergeau, 2018) by exploring situations of vulnerability and discomfort, often linked to failure, through two vignettes: an experience of a neurodivergent academic in the university cafeteria and a classroom experiment of ‘thinking under the table’ with young students.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47492,"journal":{"name":"Emotion Space and Society","volume":"55 ","pages":"Article 101095"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2025-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143948220","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}

The decades of Israel's military occupation have meant that Palestinians have been forced to grow accustomed with encounters with violence. Frequently, Palestinians describe these encounters with the word ‘normal’, signalling familiarity and prevalence of violence in their communities. By taking the Arabic word ‘adii (normal) as a starting point, the article scrutinises how violence as ‘adii manifests an affective atmosphere that sets feeling rules on how one ‘ought to act and feel’. In existing research, ‘adii has been taken as a statement of agency, resilience and ‘getting by’. These have been discussed in relation to sumud, meaning steadfast perseverance in the face of the occupation, in which case the functioning of ‘adii is scrutinized in relation to Israel as an occupying power. This article, on the other hand, approaches ‘adii as part of an affective ordering that acts towards those facing the violence. By drawing from ethnographic engagement and group interviews conducted in the West Bank, the article suggests that naming violence as ‘adii can be considered as part of an atmosphere that calls for resilience and that can thus leave little space for expressing vulnerability.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47492,"journal":{"name":"Emotion Space and Society","volume":"55 ","pages":"Article 101093"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2025-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143935012","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 paper uses a feminist new materialism framework, applying the theory of intra-action to recognise how the coming together of humans, digital and material space, objects and emotions produce assemblages which have affective capacities. Whilst previous research has employed feminist new materialist understandings to examine affective and emotional encounters with technology, little attention has been paid to the entanglement of material and digital spaces and their role within this. Moreover, little attention has been paid to the specificities of young people's experiences. To fill these gaps, I think with feminist new materialism and work within digital geographies to examine how young people reconfigure their use of and experience of space in relation to self-tracking and analyse the affective capacities of the self-tracking assemblage when young people are tied to a space, in relation to their everyday lives and the covid-19 pandemic.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47492,"journal":{"name":"Emotion Space and Society","volume":"55 ","pages":"Article 101090"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2025-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143894999","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}
