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}

Given the everyday responsibilities of informal dementia caring, the mobility of the informal carer is inextricably connected to the mobility of the one they care for. The mobility changes associated with informal dementia caring may foster feelings of nostalgia for past mobility, which may play a role in perceptions of present mobility. Therefore, the aim of this article is to better understand how nostalgia shapes mobility perceptions of informal dementia carers. Using remote graphic elicitation and telephone interviews, this article offers three key findings. Firstly, both reflective and restorative nostalgia are felt by the participants concerning their perceived past mobility, with the type of relationship with the care recipient playing a role how their nostalgia is experienced. Secondly, carers reflected very positively on their past mobility compared to their present mobility, which they considered mundane and care-centric. Thirdly, participants felt uncertain about their future mobility due to their reflections on past mobility and the unpredictability of dementia and care. Thus, the underlying feelings and sensations associated with nostalgia are key to understanding how carers experience their everyday lives and how this contributes to their sense of wellbeing.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":47492,"journal":{"name":"Emotion Space and Society","volume":"53 ","pages":"Article 101028"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2024-08-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S175545862400029X/pdfft?md5=5199947b59259dc47d55839d9df64ab0&pid=1-s2.0-S175545862400029X-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142011239","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}

It explores sensory experiences in a central urban streetscape setting focussing on individual feelings and interpretations of study participants expressed through field descriptions and sketches.

The study discusses the influence of the built environment, the role of movement, and the notion of ‘dominant’ urban atmospheres. Spatial and architectural arrangements as much as participants' movement had a significant influence on their feelings and interpretations. The paper identifies ‘atmospheric zones’ that influenced study participants' moods while walking through them. However, while related descriptions reveal similar atmospheric accounts, not all participants shared the same experiences. Experiential descriptions were diverse, sometimes contradicting, and did not always add up to a conclusive urban atmosphere. Findings challenge the notion of ‘dominant’ urban atmospheres and encourage atmospheric analysis that is inclusive of multiple experiential accounts and based on diverse first-person perspectives.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":47492,"journal":{"name":"Emotion Space and Society","volume":"52 ","pages":"Article 101027"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2024-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1755458624000288/pdfft?md5=89e985a32aa00bfd40a924b6e85bc31d&pid=1-s2.0-S1755458624000288-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141952092","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 from data gathered through an online questionnaire, I explore how loneliness has or has not shaped young adults' understandings of and attachments to their home during the pandemic. My focus is on young adults who live alone or in shared housing in Finland. I apply Sara Ahmed's <em>sticky emotions</em> and Margaret Wetherell's <em>affective practices</em> as I show in the analysis that young adults often (re)make positive meanings for home when they are lonely. Contrastingly, the pandemic has had a role in making living alone lonely for many, making loneliness to stick to home and shaping the home into a distressing, isolating place. I argue that also in non-pandemic times, it is important to note that the way loneliness shapes home is complex and ambiguous, and happens in relation to life beyond home, including diverse social encounters and relationships that cross the border of home.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":47492,"journal":{"name":"Emotion Space and Society","volume":"52 ","pages":"Article 101024"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2024-07-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1755458624000252/pdfft?md5=4d178de4e60e32308e752f0e6144a6ff&pid=1-s2.0-S1755458624000252-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141596774","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}

Yet subsurface geographies can also reinforce cliched spatial and moral topographies. This article reflects on the production of an ambivalent affect of “dark humor” in caves, through caver social worlds, and in cave writing and song. I use a Bachelardian phenomenology of the imagination as a method of interpreting the geopoetics of cave space and cave emotion related topologically rather than topographically into easy interior/exterior or surface/depth oppositions. Through Jan and Herb Conn's cave ballads and poetry, imaginative place names, and accounts of irritating struggles with manganese, a different emotional culture of caving is produced than the masculine risk-seeking one might expect. Nonetheless, such phenomenological focus on immediacy of creative imagination risks precluding broader historical-political contexts of settler coloniality. Seeking a position between “ruthlessly critical” or “post-critically evasive” analyses, I consider how the Conns produced an “anti-heroic” attitude useful beyond caving and the politics of the subsurface but without purity or innocence.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":47492,"journal":{"name":"Emotion Space and Society","volume":"52 ","pages":"Article 101016"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2024-06-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141324544","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}
