Findings reveal that both the employer's home and the rural home encompass distinct but interconnected material and emotional dimensions of home-making. The differences in domestic workers' roles, responsibilities, and obligations across these spaces lead to varied home-making strategies that encompass not only material management but also relational adjustment, emotional maintenance, and identity negotiation.

In a political climate where “increased safety” has become a dominant goal, we analyze how media narratives construct emotional regimes around safety and responsibility. Drawing on Stuart Halls work on representation and theories of emotions, we show how news media not only reflect but help (re)produce emotional and spatial geographies of (un)safety through personalized storytelling and emotive language. Focusing on personal portrayals of grassroots safety initiatives, such as women-led taxi services and local volunteer efforts, we demonstrate how emotions such as fear and frustration are articulated as morally productive and politically legitimate responses to unsafety. These narratives represent engagement as a matter of individual initiative and personal responsibility, often along gendered and racialized lines. Women are depicted as self-governing subjects whose emotional investments justify their civic actions, aligning with neoliberal ideals of responsibilized citizenship. Media participates in an emotional politics that valorizes agency and affective community while depoliticizing broader issues of inequality and exclusion. These representations risk obscuring the structural causes of unsafety by recasting safety as a matter of personal duty rather than collective or institutional responsibility.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47492,"journal":{"name":"Emotion Space and Society","volume":"58 ","pages":"Article 101146"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2026-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145790449","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 pre-service teachers' narratives, it explores how shame takes shape in classroom interactions, institutional practices, and cultural expectations of mathematical competence. Shame manifests through bodily responses such as trembling hands or blushing and is intensified by public evaluations, hierarchical classroom structures, and the societal perception of mathematics as a measure of intelligence. Rather than viewing shame solely as a negative emotion to be overcome, this paper frames it as a transformative force that circulates through human and non-human elements—teachers’ gazes, posted scores, and peer judgments—reconfiguring students’ engagement with mathematics. The discussion centers on two key questions: how pre-service teachers narrate their experiences of shame and how these experiences shape their mathematical identities. By reframing shame as a dynamic and relational phenomenon rather than an isolated emotional response, this study offers new insights into its role in shaping mathematical experiences.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47492,"journal":{"name":"Emotion Space and Society","volume":"58 ","pages":"Article 101144"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2026-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145790447","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 “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}
