Despite their popularity, limited attention has been given to understanding what captivates e-scooter riders and sustains their interest in the device. While surveys consistently rank e-scooters as a highly satisfying transport mode, such evaluations often reduce complex experiences to a single numeric score, leaving much unexplored. Using a video-recorded ride-along interview methodology, this study examines how infrastructure and spatial configurations influence the affective experiences of 12 e-scooter riders in Barcelona. Our observations reveal that trips encompass a wide range of emotional registers, from positive activation to negative deactivation emotions, often contingent on the quality of the infrastructure. Furthermore, by combining observational material with participants’ interview narratives, we show that the intrinsic characteristics of these devices—lightness, manoeuvrability, and quiet operation—play a key role in how participants define relationships with infrastructure and the situations encountered. Across these accounts, a recurring ideal of frictionless mobility emerged, with riders expressing a strong expectation for uninterrupted travel that shaped both their behaviours and their emotional responses. By uncovering the interplay between cycling infrastructure, emotions, adaptive strategies and the pursuit of frictionless mobility, this paper shed light on the processes underpinning e-scooter satisfaction and underscores the importance of integrating affective dimensions into urban design.

尽管电动滑板车很受欢迎，但人们很少关注是什么吸引了电动滑板车的骑手，并保持了他们对这种设备的兴趣。尽管调查一直将电动滑板车列为一种非常令人满意的交通方式，但这种评估往往将复杂的体验减少到一个单一的数字分数，留下了很多未被探索的地方。本研究采用视频记录的骑行访谈方法，考察了基础设施和空间配置如何影响巴塞罗那12名电动滑板车骑手的情感体验。我们的观察表明，旅行包含了广泛的情感记录，从积极的激活到消极的失活情绪，通常取决于基础设施的质量。此外，通过将观察材料与参与者的访谈叙述相结合，我们表明这些设备的内在特征-轻便，可操作性和安静操作-在参与者如何定义与基础设施和遇到的情况的关系中起着关键作用。在这些报告中，一个反复出现的无摩擦出行的理想出现了，乘客们表达了对不间断旅行的强烈期望，这影响了他们的行为和情绪反应。通过揭示骑行基础设施、情感、适应性策略和对无摩擦出行的追求之间的相互作用，本文揭示了电动滑板车满意度的基础过程，并强调了将情感维度融入城市设计的重要性。

The Thai Water Festival or Songkran marks the start of the traditional Thai New Year. It is characterized by its water-splashing festivities and is one of the most anticipated annual events for tourists and locals alike. This article examines the globally renowned water-splashing celebration on Khaosan Road, the popular and often controversial backpacker enclave of Bangkok, by adopting an ethnographic approach to explore the emotional entanglements among local street vendors and festivalgoers. Qualitative street interviews were conducted with street vendors and festivalgoers to gain a more nuanced understanding of their experiences and interpretations of Songkran at Khaosan Road. The authors argue that Songkran is a cultural rite of passage that impacts one's perception of time and space, where social norms are relaxed to a point where ritual and disorder co-exist in a liminal fashion. While foreign tourists enjoy the carnival-like atmosphere, some local street vendors often tolerate the disorder to retain memories of Songkran's cultural significance and an opportunity for economic gain. Through the confluence of embodied experiences, emotions, and festivity in the confines of Khaosan Road, Songkran is argued to be transformative for many who partake in it. Subsequent discussions highlight the role of interaction ritual chains in creating a liminal environment in terms of space, sights and sounds, enabling a liberating but temporary experience of alterity.

泰国泼水节标志着传统泰国新年的开始。它的特点是泼水庆祝活动，是游客和当地人最期待的年度活动之一。这篇文章通过采用民族志的方法来探索当地街头小贩和节日参与者之间的情感纠集，研究了在曼谷广受欢迎且经常引起争议的背包客飞地考山路上举行的全球闻名的泼水庆祝活动。我们对街头小贩和节日观众进行了定性的街头访谈，以更细致地了解他们在考山路的经历和对宋干节的解读。作者认为，泼水节是一种影响人们对时间和空间感知的文化仪式，在那里，社会规范被放松到仪式和混乱以一种有限的方式共存的程度。当外国游客享受着像狂欢节一样的气氛时，一些当地的街头小贩往往容忍这种混乱，以保留对宋干节文化意义的记忆，并以此为机会获得经济收益。通过在考山路范围内的具体体验，情感和节日的融合，宋干节被认为对许多参加它的人来说是一种变革。随后的讨论强调了互动仪式链在创造空间、视觉和声音方面的有限环境中的作用，从而实现了一种解放但暂时的另类体验。

This article investigates people's affective bonds with places and explores the role of the built environment in their reproduction. It reports the findings of qualitative research carried out in the “heart” of a neighbourhood of Santiago (Chile) that shares many features with the deprived places of the city but seems to be thriving: a highly commercial street. The findings showed that people's attachment was a complex repertoire of affective bonds fixed to distinctive moments of the trajectory of the place. Moreover, the findings indicated that the built environment had a significant role in the reproduction of people's affective bonds. Pride and affection emerged when the built environment reflected collaboration, contributed positively to the place's reputation, and allowed interactions. Nostalgia, grief, shame, and fear were all tied to the conditions of the public space, which are seen as “symptoms” of social change. Whereas joy, and especially concern, arose in relation to absences and showed that the built environment can be seen as an obstacle to activities that are considered important to continue progressing. The findings show that people are highly satisfied, have opportunities to engage in social interactions, and see in the environment a history that makes them proud.

这篇文章调查了人们与地方的情感纽带，并探讨了建筑环境在他们的繁殖中的作用。它报告了在圣地亚哥（智利）一个社区的“中心”进行的定性研究的结果，这个社区与城市的贫困地区有许多共同的特征，但似乎正在蓬勃发展：一条高度商业化的街道。研究结果表明，人们的依恋是一种复杂的情感纽带，固定在这个地方轨迹的不同时刻。此外，研究结果表明，建筑环境在人们情感纽带的繁殖中起着重要作用。当建筑环境反映了合作，对地方的声誉做出了积极贡献，并允许互动时，自豪感和情感就会出现。怀旧、悲伤、羞耻和恐惧都与公共空间的条件联系在一起，这被视为社会变革的“症状”。然而，快乐，尤其是关注，与缺席有关，这表明，建筑环境可以被视为活动的障碍，而这些活动被认为是继续进步的重要因素。调查结果显示，人们非常满意，有机会参与社会互动，并在环境中看到令他们自豪的历史。

Transnational trauma: The social capital and existential (im)mobility of Syrian men in Germany 跨国创伤：德国叙利亚男性的社会资本和存在（im）流动性

To address the events surrounding the so-called European refugee crisis of 2015, this article combines the concept of transnationalism with an empirical approach to trauma. Transnationalism is highly developed within migration research but research rarely examines the influence of everyday trauma in relation to transnational ties. Furthermore, this approach to trauma is not traditionally analyzed from a purely empirical perspective. Based on three years of ethno-graphic fieldwork across Germany, this research engages with the period of early arrival and the struggle to start a new life under the burden of trauma. The article approaches trauma not as a condition that needs to be treated but as an unescapable subject emerging from fieldwork, which was based in everyday experience. The trauma observed among refugees is examined by showing how the immobility of young men with a strong desire to move existentially, in other words a “stuckedness,” was influenced by traumatic events. As a result of this desire, Syrians shifted their cultural connections to reassert their agency. The article shows how within transnational social fields material and symbolic capital are exchanged as well as negative experiences, triggers of past experiences, and evaluations of future prospects. The most important impact of this interaction is a form of existential immobility shaped by trauma, which inhibited refugees from securely envisioning their future in Germany.

为了探讨2015年所谓的欧洲难民危机，本文将跨国主义的概念与创伤的实证方法结合起来。跨国主义在移民研究中得到了高度发展，但研究很少审查与跨国关系有关的日常创伤的影响。此外，这种治疗创伤的方法传统上并不是从纯粹的经验角度来分析的。基于在德国进行的为期三年的民族学田野调查，本研究涉及早期到达的时期以及在创伤的负担下开始新生活的斗争。这篇文章不是把创伤当作一种需要治疗的状况，而是把它当作一个从田野调查中浮现出来的、基于日常经验的、无法逃避的主题。在难民中观察到的创伤，是通过展示年轻人的不动如何受到创伤事件的影响，他们强烈希望以存在的方式移动，换句话说，是一种“停滞”。由于这种愿望，叙利亚人改变了他们的文化联系，以重申他们的能动性。文章展示了在跨国社会领域中物质资本和符号资本是如何交换的，以及负面经验、过去经验的触发因素和对未来前景的评估。这种互动最重要的影响是一种由创伤形成的存在性静止，这阻碍了难民安全地设想他们在德国的未来。

Regional development research has long been shaped by a “male gaze” that privileges economic production, innovation, and growth—while sidelining the forms of care, emotions, maintenance, and everyday labour that supports life in regions (Ormerod, 2023). In this paper, I study how economic crises are lived and felt at the level of everyday life, drawing on the experiences of Danish mink farmers who were forced to cull their animals and shut down their farms during the COVID-19 pandemic. While regional studies typically assess the impacts of economic crisis through macroeconomic indicators and performance metrics, this approach often obscures the emotional, relational, and embodied dimensions of disruption. Building on feminist geographic scholarship and Felski's (2000) theorization of the everyday, I show how crisis unsettles the temporal and spatial rhythms and habits that structure daily life, social roles, and intergenerational ties. The study foregrounds how livelihoods are sustained not only through production, but through informal labor, care work, and embodied knowledge passed down across generations. These everyday practices form subtle infrastructures of resilience—deeply rooted in place, yet vulnerable to state interventions and external shocks. The case of mink farming reveals how crisis reshapes not only what people do, but how they inhabit time, space, and community. By attending to these lived experiences, I offer an understanding of economic crisis—one that centers the silent, often invisible forms of labor and loss that accompany economic transformation.

长期以来，区域发展研究一直受到“男性目光”的影响，这种目光优先考虑经济生产、创新和增长，而忽视了支持地区生活的护理、情感、维护和日常劳动（Ormerod, 2023）。在本文中，我借鉴了在2019冠状病毒病大流行期间被迫宰杀动物和关闭农场的丹麦水貂养殖户的经验，研究了人们如何在日常生活中经历和感受经济危机。虽然区域研究通常通过宏观经济指标和绩效指标来评估经济危机的影响，但这种方法往往模糊了破坏的情感、关系和具体维度。在女权主义地理学研究和Felski（2000）对日常生活的理论基础上，我展示了危机如何扰乱时间和空间节奏和习惯，这些节奏和习惯构成了日常生活、社会角色和代际关系。该研究强调了生计如何不仅通过生产，而且通过非正式劳动、护理工作和代代相传的具体知识来维持。这些日常实践形成了微妙的弹性基础设施——根深蒂固，但容易受到国家干预和外部冲击的影响。水貂养殖的案例揭示了危机如何不仅重塑了人们的行为，还重塑了他们如何在时间、空间和社区中生存。通过对这些生活经历的关注，我提供了对经济危机的一种理解——一种以伴随经济转型而来的无声的、往往是无形的劳动和损失为中心的理解。

A room of her own: Gender, power, and emotional resistance among rural Chinese girls 《她自己的房间：中国农村女孩的性别、权力和情感抵抗》

This manuscript explores the intersecting narratives of rural Chinese girls—Juniper, Eucalyptus, and Wattle—through the lens of affect theory, examining how emotions and power intertwine within the spatial and societal contexts of patriarchal norms. Drawing on data from an ethnographic research project on gender construction among rural Chinese women, the study utilizes interviews to interrogate how subjectivities are shaped, fragmented, and negotiated within specific spatial and emotional landscapes.

By foregrounding affect as a relational force, the manuscript reveals how gendered identities are contested and reconfigured through the emotional dimensions of spatial exclusions, familial hierarchies, and cultural expectations. Juniper's frustrations with restricted mobility and constrained ambitions, Eucalyptus's subtle challenges to gendered authority, and Wattle's navigation of caregiving obligations trace the delicate interplay between systemic marginalization and emergent forms of agency. These intimate narratives illuminate how power operates within everyday spaces, yet resonates with wider societal frameworks. Resistance is depicted not through dramatic gestures but via incremental shifts in relational dynamics and redefinitions of cultural meanings.

Through its focus on spatial dynamics and the generative capacity of affect to negotiate new possibilities, the study destabilizes monolithic portrayals of identity and power. These stories of affective dissonance and reimagined boundaries highlight the contingency of domination and the fluidity of gender roles. By engaging with the interplay of emotions, space, and societal structures, this manuscript offers a nuanced contribution to understanding gendered experiences in rural Chinese communities, while opening pathways for broader theoretical and applied inquiries.

本文通过情感理论的视角，探讨了中国农村女孩——杜松、桉树和金合欢——的交叉叙事，研究了情感和权力如何在父权规范的空间和社会背景下交织在一起。利用中国农村女性性别建构的民族志研究项目的数据，本研究利用访谈来询问主体性是如何在特定的空间和情感景观中形成、碎片化和协商的。通过将情感作为一种关系力量的前景，手稿揭示了性别身份是如何通过空间排斥、家庭等级和文化期望的情感维度进行争议和重新配置的。Juniper对受限的流动性和受限的野心的沮丧，Eucalyptus对性别权威的微妙挑战，以及Wattle对照顾义务的导航，追溯了系统边缘化和紧急代理形式之间微妙的相互作用。这些亲密的叙述阐明了权力如何在日常空间中运作，同时又与更广泛的社会框架产生共鸣。抵抗不是通过戏剧性的姿态来描述的，而是通过关系动态的渐进转变和文化意义的重新定义来描述的。通过关注空间动态和情感的生成能力来协商新的可能性，该研究打破了对身份和权力的单一描绘。这些关于情感失调和重新想象的界限的故事突出了统治的偶然性和性别角色的流动性。通过参与情感、空间和社会结构的相互作用，本文为理解中国农村社区的性别经验提供了细致入微的贡献，同时为更广泛的理论和应用调查开辟了道路。

On February 6, 2023, two devastating earthquakes struck southern Turkey, followed by a third quake two weeks later—leaving Hatay profoundly scarred both physically and emotionally. This study explores the emotional geography of Hatay post-disaster, focusing on the resilience of place identity despite the destruction of homes, landmarks, and cultural heritage. Through qualitative interviews and thematic analysis, the research investigates how emotional responses, cultural practices, and historical associations sustain place identity amidst profound upheaval. A key innovation of this study is the development of an analysis map, grounded in identity process theory, which visually illustrates the interplay of personal, cultural, and historical dimensions of place identity. This methodological tool offers a structured and replicable approach to understanding how place identity evolves—and endures—in disaster-stricken contexts. Findings reveal that while grief for lost places is widespread, emotional attachments, community solidarity, and symbolic practices foster resilience and continuity. The study underscores the importance of incorporating emotional and cultural dimensions into post-disaster recovery policies to support inclusive and equitable rebuilding. By illuminating the dynamic nature of place identity, this research contributes to emotional geography and provides critical insights for communities navigating long-term recovery from crisis.

2023年2月6日，两次毁灭性的地震袭击了土耳其南部，两周后又发生了第三次地震，给哈塔伊的身心都留下了深刻的创伤。本研究探讨了哈塔伊灾后的情感地理，重点关注家园、地标和文化遗产遭到破坏后，地方身份的恢复能力。通过定性访谈和专题分析，本研究探讨了情绪反应、文化习俗和历史联系如何在深刻的动荡中维持地方身份。本研究的一个关键创新是基于身份过程理论的分析地图的发展，它直观地说明了地方身份的个人、文化和历史维度的相互作用。这个方法论工具提供了一种结构化的、可复制的方法来理解在遭受灾难的情况下，地方身份是如何演变和持久的。调查结果显示，虽然对失去的地方的悲痛是普遍存在的，但情感依恋、社区团结和象征性的做法促进了复原力和连续性。该研究强调了将情感和文化维度纳入灾后恢复政策的重要性，以支持包容和公平的重建。通过阐明地方身份的动态本质，这项研究有助于情感地理学，并为社区从危机中长期复苏提供重要见解。

Using a unique dataset collected through ethnographic observations and interviews at six anti-lockdown protest sites, this article examines concrete emotions across different stages of the anti-lockdown protests in London, shedding light on the broader affective anti-lockdown protest atmosphere. Our study contributes to a nuanced understanding of protest movements in times of emergency by demonstrating how the distinct feelings of “distrust” and “disillusionment” in reaction to political elites, information and news sources can mobilise and consolidate a social movement during a crisis. We identify these long-run emotions towards official sources as crucial in fuelling short-run emotions of anger and anxiety at the pandemic's outset, mobilising and uniting protesters around alternative sources of information and conspiracy theories. Moreover, our findings show that despite their distrust towards mainstream media, protesters felt trust in alternative media and each other, assisting them to sustain positive affect during the protests. Even in the tense context of the pandemic, positive emotions such as joy were also fostered through the shared feeling of distrust towards political and media elites, common conspiracy theories and activists' togetherness in protest spaces, which created an evolving anti-lockdown atmosphere.

本文利用在六个反封锁抗议地点通过人种学观察和访谈收集的独特数据集，研究了伦敦反封锁抗议活动不同阶段的具体情绪，揭示了更广泛的情感反封锁抗议氛围。我们的研究通过展示对政治精英、信息和新闻来源的反应中不同的“不信任”和“幻灭”情绪如何在危机期间动员和巩固社会运动，有助于细致入微地理解紧急时期的抗议运动。我们认为，在疫情爆发之初，这些对官方消息来源的长期情绪在助长短期的愤怒和焦虑情绪、动员和团结抗议者，反对其他信息来源和阴谋论方面发挥了至关重要的作用。此外，我们的研究结果显示，尽管他们对主流媒体不信任，但抗议者对替代媒体和彼此感到信任，这有助于他们在抗议期间保持积极的影响。即使在疫情紧张的背景下，人们对政治和媒体精英的共同不信任、共同的阴谋论、活动人士在抗议场所的团结一致，也营造了欢乐等积极情绪，营造了不断演变的反封锁氛围。
