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。

Evoking emotions such as empathy has been an effective strategy for social movements to garner public support. Mobilizing emotional geopolitics, this article examines the work emotions are expected to play and indeed do in spaces for transnational solidarity against geopolitical violence. I examine the ‘Butterfly Peace Trips’ which are organized by the Korean Council for Justice and Remembrance, a well-established organization in South Korea seeking redress for Korean survivors of wartime sexual slavery (otherwise known as ‘comfort women’). In these trips, Korean supporters of the ‘comfort women’ movement visit sites in Vietnam that memorialize the Vietnam War and meet the survivors. Interviews with organizers and participants and content analysis results reveal that the Peace Trips are designed to elicit visceral feelings that motivate participants to be involved with the redress movement. Findings also show that even emotions that facilitate solidarity, such as guilt, love, and familiarity, can inadvertently reify geopolitical logics while depoliticizing power structures. Surprisingly, emotions that might not neatly translate into action, such as dread, can productively challenge taken-for-granted discourses in geopolitics. Thus, I argue that emotional experiences do not provide a straightforward path for redressing war violence but help expose the banal logics of war-making.

唤起共鸣等情绪一直是社会运动获得公众支持的有效策略。动员情感地缘政治，本文考察了在跨国团结反对地缘政治暴力的空间中，情感预期发挥的作用和实际发挥的作用。我研究了“蝴蝶和平之旅”，这是由韩国正义与纪念委员会组织的，这是一个在韩国建立良好的组织，旨在为韩国战时性奴役（也被称为“慰安妇”）的幸存者寻求赔偿。韩国的“慰安妇运动”支持者们访问越南的越南战争纪念场所，与幸存者见面。对组织者和参与者的采访以及内容分析结果显示，和平之旅旨在激发参与者参与补救运动的内心感受。研究结果还表明，即使是有助于团结的情绪，如内疚、爱和熟悉，也会在权力结构去政治化的同时，无意中使地缘政治逻辑具体化。令人惊讶的是，那些可能无法转化为行动的情绪，比如恐惧，可以有效地挑战地缘政治中被视为理所当然的话语。因此，我认为情感体验并不能为纠正战争暴力提供一条直接的途径，而是有助于揭露战争制造的陈腐逻辑。

Reflections on carrying out forced migration research: Anti-colonisation, discomfort and ‘staying with the trouble’ 开展强迫移民研究的思考：反殖民、不适与“与麻烦相伴”

Research has shown that refugee populations, as with many other ‘subjects’ of research, who have the most to gain, and lose, from research conducted about them, are excluded from shaping this research. Beyond this, it has been argued that research on forced migration can reinforce oppressive and colonial power structures through objectifying and dehumanising the experiences of people who are forced to migrate. This reflective article explores the personal discomfort of a white European researcher in the field of forced migration and sense of complicity in reinforcing colonial power structures, as well as the challenges of advancing an anti-colonial agenda in refugee-related research. More specifically, I reflect on this ethical and emotive dilemma in relation to an ongoing collaborative project carried out with the Scottish Irish Migration Initiative, which aims to ‘build an ethical research culture’ in refugee-related research through challenging and reimagining collaborative practices in this field of research. The article looks at the importance of ‘staying with the trouble’: acknowledging and sitting with these discomforts and challenges, but also using them as tools to better understand oppressive power dynamics and systemic barriers in order to advance a more ethical research culture in refugee-related research.

研究表明，难民人口与许多其他研究“对象”一样，从对他们进行的研究中获得和失去最多的人被排除在形成这项研究之外。除此之外，有人认为，对被迫移民的研究可以通过将被迫移民的经历客观化和非人化来加强压迫和殖民权力结构。这篇反思性的文章探讨了一位欧洲白人研究者在被迫移民领域的个人不适，以及在加强殖民权力结构方面的共谋感，以及在难民相关研究中推进反殖民议程的挑战。更具体地说，我在与苏格兰爱尔兰移民倡议开展的一个正在进行的合作项目中反思了这种道德和情感困境，该项目旨在通过挑战和重新构想这一研究领域的合作实践，在难民相关研究中“建立一种道德研究文化”。这篇文章着眼于“与麻烦同在”的重要性：承认并面对这些不适和挑战，但也将它们作为更好地理解压迫性权力动态和系统障碍的工具，以便在难民相关研究中推进更合乎道德的研究文化。

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。

This article addresses the need to bridge the geography of mental health with mobility studies by proposing the use of crip temporalities as a connecting framework. This approach draws on my lived experience as an individual with Asperger's syndrome, diagnosed in adulthood. The article aims to explore the mutual relationship between spatiotemporal contexts and my emotional experiences in everyday life. Using autoethnography, I reflectively analyzed diary entries written over the course of two years, seeking interconnections between emotionality, place, and time. The result is the use of new concept: Mobility Time Flow, which represents the process of experiencing my time while moving through space. I use three situations (walking through the city centre, travelling on a train and crossing the road via a pedestrian crossing) and one context (being in control of my time) to explain how Mobility Time Flow functions emotionally in my everyday life. I experience the first three situations very negatively, whereas I feel positive emotions in the context of controlling my own time.

这篇文章解决了需要弥合地理的心理健康与流动性研究，建议使用瘸腿暂时性作为一个连接框架。这种方法借鉴了我作为阿斯伯格综合症患者的生活经历，我是在成年后被诊断出来的。本文旨在探讨我在日常生活中的情感体验与时空语境之间的相互关系。运用自我民族志，我反思性地分析了两年来写的日记条目，寻找情感、地点和时间之间的联系。结果是使用了一个新的概念：移动时间流，它代表了我在空间中移动的过程中体验时间的过程。我用三种情况（穿过市中心，乘坐火车和通过人行横道过马路）和一种情况（控制我的时间）来解释流动性时间流在我的日常生活中是如何在情感上起作用的。我对前三种情况的体验非常消极，而在控制自己的时间的背景下，我感受到了积极的情绪。

Significant movements across the world indicate a shift from conventional information exchange within academia to empowering relational approaches in applied research, such as engaging with place-based knowledge systems. Much of this redirection has occurred through the engagement of Indigenous knowledge systems and multidisciplinary approaches, as well as collaborations with federal agencies and university extension networks, thereby elevating holistic knowledge forms that possess a strong capacity to influence human behavior. This case study highlights the value of moving beyond short-term, one-off research projects and outdated, dysfunctional data exchange paradigms within research, science education, and science communication. Instead, we highlight the capacities of long-term relational approaches within higher education and adaptation science that empower data usage on the ground and hold strong capacity to drive human behavior by engaging a diversity of knowledge forms (e.g., emotion). Specifically, we report on the interpersonal linkages, expanding networks, and output from a series of community-driven graduate research projects. Utilizing a narrative approach, we place a research team's affective relationships and demonstrated trust within a more-than-human metaphor of contemporary outrigger canoe paddling. Rather than theoretical advancement, this paper shares an example of what relational approaches look like in action within the Kapukapu community on Hawaiʻi Island.

世界各地的重大变化表明，学术界内部的传统信息交换正在向应用研究中的授权关系方法转变，例如参与基于地点的知识系统。这种重新定向的大部分是通过土著知识系统和多学科方法的参与以及与联邦机构和大学推广网络的合作实现的，从而提升了具有强大影响人类行为能力的整体知识形式。这个案例研究强调了在研究、科学教育和科学传播中超越短期的、一次性的研究项目和过时的、功能失调的数据交换范例的价值。相反，我们强调了高等教育和适应科学中长期关系方法的能力，这些方法赋予了实地数据使用的能力，并通过参与多种知识形式（例如情感）来驱动人类行为的强大能力。具体来说，我们报告了人际关系、不断扩大的网络以及一系列社区驱动的研究生研究项目的产出。利用叙述的方法，我们将研究团队的情感关系和展示的信任置于当代独木舟划桨的超越人类的隐喻中。这篇论文不是在理论上的进步，而是分享了一个在夏威夷岛的Kapukapu社区中关系方法的例子。

Utilising narrative form and ethnographic method, this paper is a reflexive plea for an academic community which foregrounds care and relationality. Contributing to literature on the politics of knowledge and continuing the pre-existing metaphor of knowledge-as-vision, I argue for a more unified, binocular gaze which draws just as much on meaning as it does on sense. The evidence for this argument stems from phenomenological reflection on my experiences and positionality within research settings, in the field, and as both a mental health patient and practitioner. This paper is a methodological account which aims to embrace the messy complexities of research and draws on a wide range of literature, principally, feminist care ethics, relational ontologies, philosophies of science and knowledge production, and democratic therapeutic communities. Ultimately, I outline how a neoliberal and production-orientated academy encourages a dangerous level of emotional repression and disavowal of meaning, harming a multiplicity of actors.

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。

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。
