Abstract
Abstract. This article examines the constitution of affective
atmospheres that arise through the encounter of scientific and theatre
practices. Using an autoethnographic approach, the presented work focuses on
a collaborative theatre project on the climate crisis. Here, the author
performed in the role of a scientific expert next to colleagues that have a
climate change-related research background. Three aspects of affective
atmospheres emerging in the rehearsal process are analysed: one's position
in the interplay of powerful materialities, the relationality of sensual
bodies, and the (in)stability of scientific identities. This paper shows
that the artistic collaboration opens up space for reflecting on science
that seek to overcome ostensible dualisms of subject/object, mind/body, and
reason/emotion. It emphasizes the opportunity of art to bring into account
body, more-than-humanity and relationality as part of scientific practices
in times of anthropocentric debates facing climate change.
期刊介绍:
Geographica Helvetica, the Swiss journal of geography, publishes contributions in all fields of geography as well as in related neighbouring disciplines. It is a multi-lingual journal, accepting articles in the three main Swiss languages, German, French, and Italian, as well as in English. It invites theoretical as well as empirical contributions. The journal welcomes contributions that specifically deal with empirical questions relating to Switzerland. The agenda of Geographica Helvetica is related to the specificity of Swiss geography as a meeting ground for different geographical traditions and languages (German, French, Italian and, more recently, a type of transnational, mainly English-speaking geography). The journal aims to become an ideal platform for the development of an informed, creative, and truly cosmopolitan geography. The journal will therefore provide space for cross-border theoretical debates around major thinkers – past and present – and the circulation of geographical ideas and concepts across Europe and beyond. The journal seeks to be a platform of debate also through innovative publication formats in its section "Interfaces", which publishes shorter interventions: reflection pieces on major thinkers as well as position papers (see manuscript types). Geographica Helvetica is promoted and supported by the following institutions: Swiss Academy of Sciences (SCNAT), Geographic and Ethnological Society of Zurich/Geographisch-Ethnographische Gesellschaft Zürich (GEGZ), and Swiss Association of Geography/Association Suisse de Géographie (ASG).
