Built on atmosphere theory and material imagination theory, we suggest that an embodied politics of atmosphere is constituted by perception and imagination. Perceptions foster a holistic understanding of place among participants through peripheral visions, which is potentially consistent with the logic of online dissemination of digital images. In contrast, material imagination represents the creative pole of the body and establishes a new surface aesthetics of digital images. Faced with visual-centric notions of place in contemporary digital images, illustrating the embodied politics of the affective atmosphere can help motivate people to transcend existing paradigms and experience place through a more creative vision.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47492,"journal":{"name":"Emotion Space and Society","volume":"53 ","pages":"Article 101044"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2024-10-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142424783","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 article analyses their increasingly agential role in support practices through their capacity to reconfigure individual and collective understandings of mental health. New materialist research acknowledges the agency of both human and non-human actors and considers the on-going relations of bodies and technology within social contexts. We apply the concept of digital atmosphere to trace the material-affective forces constituting the experience of using a mental health app. Our findings demonstrate the multiplicity of ways people improvise with their use, situated within their own unique contexts and environments, and the influence of relationships on individual perceptions and engagements with the apps. Furthermore, we consider the different ways in which participants perceive their mental (ill)health, sometimes in fractious conflict with the apps. Finally, we highlight that features of for-profit apps can reshape understanding of mental (ill)health needs and perceptions of responsibility, resulting in the capacity for apps to be simultaneously disciplining and liberating. The findings provide insight of significant value to mental health policy and practice.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47492,"journal":{"name":"Emotion Space and Society","volume":"53 ","pages":"Article 101046"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2024-10-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142424781","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 upon ethnographic research on the shifting geographies of creative work in the post-pandemic city, we highlight and discuss one distinctive emotional-geographic experience: what Wakefield (2021) calls ‘islanding’, a ‘retreat’ among creative workers to home spaces, consolidating activities and finding ways to inhabit upheaval. Describing the case of four male musicians who play together regularly in Sydney, Australia, we show how, in response to forced lockdowns, collaboration shifted from dispersed networks to home spaces of rehearsal, composition, production and performance. Within these reworked home spaces, creativity and sociality were reassembled. The emotional dimensions of music-making, support from family and friends, gender nuances, and bonds of collective creativity, acquired heightened significance. Pandemic upheaval afforded unforeseen opportunities to experiment, while ‘islanded’ spaces proved vital, socially, as the musicians faced multiple health, employment, and psychological challenges. Transcending masculine tropes, gathering at home to play music proved an avenue to perform care work, share the joys of music, express love and admit vulnerability. We conclude that emotional, gendered, and spatial dimensions must figure more prominently within analyses of creative responses to crisis, including post-pandemic discussions of the creative sectors.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47492,"journal":{"name":"Emotion Space and Society","volume":"53 ","pages":"Article 101040"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2024-09-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1755458624000410/pdfft?md5=6c1d22d24b368d1c4d93489cd5e54c4a&pid=1-s2.0-S1755458624000410-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142314720","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}

Cycling affords these riders an understanding where each can avoid speaking to the emotional difficulties that necessitate their being on road, where they share stories that gesture to personal difficulty, but rarely in detail. To explain such sporting practice, I rely on the ‘fold' as a methodological and theoretical framework to re-conceptualise dominant myths in both sport but also ‘masculinities’ studies. Rather, than ask ‘what kind of masculinity’ a person is, I ask what does a person do?

We analyze how the members construct their emotive struggles and depressed self in self-talk (disengagement) and interactions (engagement) via linguistic deixis. Based on this communication mapping, this study offers a new notion of affective incapacity as an epistemological insight into depressive emotions. The observed phenomena of both inward-centered (self-talk) emotions and outward-centered (dialogue) emotions point to members’ reduced capacity to affect and to be affected, to intervene and to be intervened.

They can be seen as socio-technological assemblages that foster immersion, embodiment, and presence, which come together as a framework that allows VR users to make space meaningful – thus creating places. This research aimed to understand how using social VR mediates social practices and the spatial practices of being social, investigating the spatial dynamics and place-making processes within Social VR environments. We conducted participant observation and 15 virtual in-depth interviews in VRChat. Our thematic analysis reveals that mobility and escape mechanisms are critical affordances shaping social spatiality. Additionally, social presence and co-presence are pivotal in establishing a feeling of ‘being there’ and cultivating attachment to virtual locales. Users actively contribute to the emergence of place through their spatial understandings and normative social behaviors. These findings underscore the significance of social interaction in shaping the spatial experience within Social VR. Further research is warranted to explore diverse user experiences and platforms, advancing our understanding of Social VR as a medium for meaningful interaction and place-making.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":47492,"journal":{"name":"Emotion Space and Society","volume":"53 ","pages":"Article 101038"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2024-09-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142149070","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}
