This book offers a diverse understanding and practical approach
towards the growing area of atmosphere research, in the context of
philosophy, geography and architecture. It begins by tracing back
to the model of experience called the "pathic". Drawing on the
phenomenology of theorists Hermann Schmitz and Gernot Boehme,
introductory chapters offer a grounding for the beginnings of
pathic research. The chapters go on to apply pathic framework to a
range of practical cases from theatre studies to education.
Atmospheres are often defined as affects one feels in a "lived
space" and researchers are becoming more interested in the emotions
we feel in natural and artificial environments across day to day
life. By providing a critical re-evaluation of phenomenology and
aesthetics, the book brings a series of unexplored and
controversial subjects to light, opening up a new context for
thinking about our everyday life and experiences inscribed within
aesthetics, politics, literature, spatial practices and pedagogy
and effectively merging abstract philosophy and concrete practice.
This book is particularly poignant in the emerging field of
Atmosphere and New Aesthetics research. Practitioners, academics
and researchers working within Cultural Geography, Aesthetics, Art
and Philosophy will find this book extremely valuable.
