This study explores how corporate public restrooms, often regarded as mundane, serve as critical therapeutic landscapes within the high-pressure environment of China's real estate sector. Through ethnographic research at S Corporation, it reveals how these restrooms become gendered, political, and relational spaces where emotional release, solidarity, and subtle resistance unfold. For men, restrooms offer a space to momentarily shed and quietly reaffirm corporate masculinity, while for women, they become sanctuaries of shared vulnerability and mutual support. Politically, these spaces provide informal arenas for navigating workplace power dynamics and hierarchies away from official scrutiny. Beyond their functional design, these restrooms enable moments of collective strength and resistance, reflecting broader societal issues around gender expectations, emotional labor, and the strains of corporate life. In highlighting how such ordinary spaces shape emotional experiences and social relations, the study highlights the potential for solidarity and resistance within even the most controlled environments, revealing the deeper social challenges embedded in everyday emotional landscapes.

本研究探讨了在中国房地产行业的高压环境中，企业公共厕所如何成为关键的治疗景观，而这些公共厕所通常被认为是平凡的。通过S公司的人种学研究，它揭示了这些洗手间如何成为性别、政治和关系空间，在这里情感释放、团结和微妙的抵抗展开。对于男性来说，洗手间提供了一个暂时摆脱并悄悄地重申公司男子气概的空间，而对于女性来说，它们成为分享脆弱和相互支持的避难所。从政治上讲，这些空间提供了非正式的场所，让人们在工作场所的权力动态和等级制度中避开官方的审查。除了功能设计之外，这些厕所还体现了集体力量和抵抗的时刻，反映了围绕性别期望、情绪劳动和企业生活压力的更广泛的社会问题。在强调这些普通空间如何塑造情感体验和社会关系的同时，该研究强调了即使在最受控制的环境中，团结和抵抗的潜力，揭示了日常情感景观中更深层次的社会挑战。

Art-science installations with a focus on marine research are a critical way that the ocean is experienced by various publics beyond the physical boundaries of the sea. Like ocean themed cinema, documentaries, music, photo exhibitions, aquariums, museums and so on they contribute to how oceans are imagined and experienced without the need to get wet. Although they can never quite replicate the ocean, they offer touching points for embodied engagement with alternative imaginaries of the sea. Mirrors is a sound installation that follows the acoustic journey of the Minke Whale as it travels from Antarctica to the coast of Namibia, which debuted in 2023 as part of an international marine biodiversity symposium. Drawing from the development and delivery of Mirrors, this paper contends that sound installations are one way that audiences can know the ocean as they uniquely capture underwater worlds and anthropogenic impacts on marine life. This paper argues that key to the success of this is being able to create narratives that can inspire oceanic imaginations through what is introduced for the first time in this paper as ‘submersive affective atmospheres’.

以海洋研究为重点的艺术科学装置是各种公众在海洋物理边界之外体验海洋的一种重要方式。就像海洋主题电影、纪录片、音乐、图片展、水族馆、博物馆等一样，它们有助于人们在不被海水浸湿的情况下想象和体验海洋。虽然它们永远无法完全复制海洋，但它们提供了与海洋的另一种想象的具体接触的触点。镜子是一个声音装置，跟随小须鲸从南极洲到纳米比亚海岸的声音之旅，作为国际海洋生物多样性研讨会的一部分于2023年首次亮相。从《镜子》的发展和传播中，本文认为声音装置是观众了解海洋的一种方式，因为它们独特地捕捉了水下世界和人为对海洋生物的影响。本文认为，成功的关键在于能够通过本文首次引入的“浸入式情感氛围”创造出能够激发海洋想象力的叙事。

Global food crises force more people into food insecurity. While numerous studies offer valuable insights into household consumption, food access, and adaptive strategies, they often overlook how food insecurity is an inherently emotional experience, deeply connected to—and continuously interacting with—broader sociopolitical dynamics. Consequently, scholars pay insufficient attention to how emotional responses to food insecurity reshape space, place, and drive sociopolitical change. Drawing on insights from emotional geography, this paper explores the emotional dimension of food insecurity, recognizing how it is shaped by sociocultural relations, perceptions of inequality, and narratives of injustice. Focusing on the food crisis in Havana, Cuba, this study takes an ethnographic approach to reveal that emotional responses to food insecurity impact (1) individual and social experiences of food consumption, (2) perceptions, experiences, and use of public space, (3) individual and collective perceptions of identity, and (4) power dynamics and perceived government legitimacy. This leads to significant sociopolitical and spatial changes at the household, urban, and national levels. We conclude that an emotional lens to food insecurity provides essential insights into how personal, yet socially shaped, emotions spill over from the household level to “jumping scales” and catalyzing broader sociopolitical change.

全球粮食危机迫使更多的人陷入粮食不安全。尽管大量研究为家庭消费、食物获取和适应策略提供了有价值的见解，但它们往往忽视了粮食不安全是一种内在的情感体验，与更广泛的社会政治动态密切相关，并不断相互作用。因此，学者们对粮食不安全的情绪反应如何重塑空间、地点和推动社会政治变革的关注不足。借鉴情感地理学的见解，本文探讨了粮食不安全的情感维度，认识到它是如何受到社会文化关系、不平等观念和不公正叙述的影响。本研究以古巴哈瓦那的粮食危机为研究对象，采用民族志方法揭示了对粮食不安全的情绪反应影响(1)个人和社会对食品消费的体验，(2)感知、体验和公共空间的使用，(3)个人和集体对身份的感知，以及(4)权力动态和对政府合法性的感知。这导致了家庭、城市和国家层面的重大社会政治和空间变化。我们的结论是，从情感的角度来看待粮食不安全，可以让我们深入了解个人的、但又受到社会影响的情绪是如何从家庭层面蔓延到“跳跃尺度”，并催化更广泛的社会政治变革的。

To understand the dynamics of the gated community, in this article, conceptions of fear in relation to space are being studied through the experience of residents in gated communities in La Plata, Argentina. In-depth interviews with six participants and observations in different barrios cerrados allowed for an understanding of the use of space and its impact on fear of crime and other safety perceptions. The stories showed how enclosed communities are perceived by the residents as the only safe form of living, both physically and socially, with the outsider being dangerous by default. Also, it established the means used in the space to nurse these feelings of insecurity, such as cameras, guards and fences. The narratives helped understand how self-governance contributes to a feeling of security by being in control of the use of space. My findings showed how gated communities not only contribute to more segregation between inside and outside but also emphasize and reinforce the idea of the outside being an insecure space, and as a justification for emotions such as fear and the need to be in control.

为了理解封闭式社区的动态，本文通过阿根廷拉普拉塔封闭式社区居民的经历，研究了与空间相关的恐惧概念。通过对六名参与者的深入访谈和在不同地区的观察，可以了解空间的使用及其对犯罪恐惧和其他安全观念的影响。这些故事表明，居民如何将封闭的社区视为唯一安全的生活形式，无论是在身体上还是在社会上，局外人都是默认的危险。此外，它还建立了在空间中使用的手段来照顾这些不安全感，例如摄像头，警卫和围栏。这些叙述有助于理解自治如何通过控制空间的使用来促进安全感。我的研究结果表明，封闭式社区不仅加剧了室内外的隔离，还强调和强化了外界是一个不安全空间的观念，并为恐惧和需要控制等情绪提供了理由。

Young people's self-tracking assemblage: the role of digital and material space in shaping affective, emotional experiences 年轻人的自我追踪组合：数字和物质空间在塑造情感、情感体验中的作用

Self-tracking technologies and apps (Fitbits, Strava etc.), have become increasingly integrated into our everyday lives, spaces and embodiments. In this paper, I draw on data from digital interviews with young people aged 18–26, and an auto-netnography of my own experiences, to explore the role of the entanglement of digital and material space in young people's emotional experience of self-tracking. This paper uses a feminist new materialism framework, applying the theory of intra-action to recognise how the coming together of humans, digital and material space, objects and emotions produce assemblages which have affective capacities. Whilst previous research has employed feminist new materialist understandings to examine affective and emotional encounters with technology, little attention has been paid to the entanglement of material and digital spaces and their role within this. Moreover, little attention has been paid to the specificities of young people's experiences. To fill these gaps, I think with feminist new materialism and work within digital geographies to examine how young people reconfigure their use of and experience of space in relation to self-tracking and analyse the affective capacities of the self-tracking assemblage when young people are tied to a space, in relation to their everyday lives and the covid-19 pandemic.

自我追踪技术和应用程序（Fitbits， Strava等）已经越来越多地融入我们的日常生活，空间和体现。在本文中，我利用对18-26岁年轻人的数字访谈数据，以及我自己经历的自动网络摄影，来探索数字空间和物质空间的纠缠在年轻人自我跟踪的情感体验中的作用。本文采用女性主义的新唯物主义框架，运用内作用理论来认识人、数字空间和物质空间、物体和情感是如何结合在一起产生具有情感能力的组合的。虽然之前的研究采用了女权主义新唯物主义的理解来研究与技术的情感和情感接触，但很少有人关注材料和数字空间的纠缠及其在其中的作用。此外，很少有人注意到年轻人经历的特殊性。为了填补这些空白，我想用女权主义的新唯物主义和数字地理学的工作来研究年轻人如何在自我跟踪方面重新配置他们对空间的使用和体验，并分析当年轻人与空间联系在一起时，与他们的日常生活和covid-19大流行有关的自我跟踪组合的情感能力。

This article examines the affective repercussions of naming violence as normal in the occupied Palestine. The decades of Israel's military occupation have meant that Palestinians have been forced to grow accustomed with encounters with violence. Frequently, Palestinians describe these encounters with the word ‘normal’, signalling familiarity and prevalence of violence in their communities. By taking the Arabic word ‘adii (normal) as a starting point, the article scrutinises how violence as ‘adii manifests an affective atmosphere that sets feeling rules on how one ‘ought to act and feel’. In existing research, ‘adii has been taken as a statement of agency, resilience and ‘getting by’. These have been discussed in relation to sumud, meaning steadfast perseverance in the face of the occupation, in which case the functioning of ‘adii is scrutinized in relation to Israel as an occupying power. This article, on the other hand, approaches ‘adii as part of an affective ordering that acts towards those facing the violence. By drawing from ethnographic engagement and group interviews conducted in the West Bank, the article suggests that naming violence as ‘adii can be considered as part of an atmosphere that calls for resilience and that can thus leave little space for expressing vulnerability.

本文考察了在被占领的巴勒斯坦命名暴力为正常的情感影响。以色列几十年的军事占领意味着巴勒斯坦人已经被迫习惯于暴力冲突。巴勒斯坦人经常用“正常”这个词来形容这些遭遇，表明他们的社区对暴力的熟悉和普遍。本文以阿拉伯语“adii”（正常）为起点，检视暴力“adii”如何表现出一种情感氛围，这种氛围为人们“应该如何行动和感受”设定了情感规则。在现有的研究中，“adii”被认为是对能动性、适应力和“过得去”的陈述。这些都是在与sumud有关的情况下讨论的，sumud的意思是面对占领的坚定毅力，在这种情况下，adii的运作将与以色列作为占领国的关系进行仔细审查。另一方面，本文将“adii”视为一种情感秩序的一部分，这种秩序对面临暴力的人起作用。通过在西岸进行的民族志参与和小组访谈，文章认为，将暴力命名为“adii”可以被认为是一种呼吁韧性的氛围的一部分，因此几乎没有表达脆弱性的空间。

Eco-emotions in climate deliberation: A deliberative mini-public on consumption and mobility in Spain 气候审议中的生态情感：西班牙消费和流动的审议小公众

Challenged by the climate crisis, transformations require critical conversations about our behaviours and underlying emotions. While literature is explicit on the need for closing the emissions gap, what is often left ambiguous is how to get there. Popular focus underlines the need for behavioural change, yet calls are either very specific, limited to the agency of the individual (e.g. eating less meat) or are bound by broad socio-cultural shifts taking place over extended periods of time (e.g. moving away from coal).

This paper explores how eco-emotions on the climate crisis, particularly on consumption and mobility, manifest in a deliberative mini-public (DMP) conducted in Spain by analysing a 12-h transcript of a collective setting. We argue that DMPs have the potential to disentangle the emotive and cognitive on why we do certain things and fail to act upon others. Through expressing, discussing and reflecting on emotions, such platforms help individuals process emotions, reflect on the functionality of emotions, elevate emotions from the individual to the collective (sociality of emotions), observe place-based experiences and emotions arising due to local and cultural particularities (spatiality of emotions), ultimately harnessing emotions and cognition to collectively mobilise toward transformative change.

在气候危机的挑战下，转型需要对我们的行为和潜在情绪进行批判性的对话。虽然文献明确指出有必要缩小排放差距，但如何实现这一目标却常常模糊不清。大众关注的焦点强调了行为改变的必要性，但呼吁要么非常具体，局限于个人的能动性（例如少吃肉），要么受到长期发生的广泛的社会文化转变（例如远离煤炭）的约束。本文通过分析一个集体环境的12小时记录，探讨了气候危机的生态情绪，特别是消费和流动性，如何在西班牙进行的审议迷你公众（DMP）中表现出来。我们认为，dmp有可能解开我们为什么做某些事情而没有对其他事情采取行动的情感和认知。通过表达、讨论和反思情绪，这些平台帮助个人处理情绪，反思情绪的功能，将情绪从个人提升到集体（情绪的社会性），观察由于地方和文化特殊性而产生的基于地点的体验和情绪（情绪的空间性），最终利用情绪和认知来集体动员变革。

‘An outpouring of love’: A psychosocial analysis of the NHS ‘Big Tea’ fundraising appeal “爱的流露”：NHS“大茶”筹款呼吁的社会心理分析

This article reports on a case study of charitable fundraising for the UK National Health Service (NHS) and examines its role in managing emotions and shaping our relationship with state-funded health services. Twitter data, images and fundraising materials were collected under the #NHSBigTea hashtag, which coordinates and celebrates annual fundraising events by NHS charities across the UK. Targeting existing affective attachments to ‘our NHS’, nationalistic rhetoric and the imperative to ‘give something back’ after Covid are shown to be part of wider feeling rules which create the NHS as an idealised object requiring performative displays of gratitude and positive affect. Discursive positioning of fundraisers and NHS staff as heroes becomes problematic in an affective economy where national calls to “be there” and show our love for the NHS set unrealistic demands and obscure existing deficits and existential threats to the NHS. Drawing on psychoanalytic perspectives, the article shows how, in times of crisis, displays of gratitude, love and positivity may defend against ambiguous feelings and intense fears of losing the NHS. These difficult emotions and anxieties must be acknowledged to avoid dangerous idealisations and allow a different relationship based not on gratitude but emotional and material investment.

本文报道了英国国家医疗服务体系（NHS）慈善筹款的案例研究，并探讨了其在管理情绪和塑造我们与国家资助的医疗服务关系方面的作用。推特数据、图片和筹款材料都是在#NHSBigTea标签下收集的，该标签协调和庆祝英国全国NHS慈善机构的年度筹款活动。针对“我们的NHS”现有的情感依恋、民族主义言论和在Covid后“回馈”的必要性，被证明是更广泛的情感规则的一部分，这些规则使NHS成为一个理想的对象，需要表现出感激和积极的影响。在情感经济中，把募捐者和NHS员工作为英雄的话语定位是有问题的，因为国民呼吁“在那里”，表达我们对NHS的爱，提出了不切实际的要求，模糊了NHS现有的赤字和存在的威胁。从精神分析的角度来看，这篇文章展示了在危机时刻，感恩、爱和积极的表现是如何抵御模棱两可的感觉和对失去NHS的强烈恐惧的。必须承认这些困难的情绪和焦虑，以避免危险的理想化，并允许一种不同的关系，不是基于感激，而是基于情感和物质投资。

Twitter data, images and fundraising materials were collected under the #NHSBigTea hashtag, which coordinates and celebrates annual fundraising events by NHS charities across the UK. Targeting existing affective attachments to ‘our NHS’, nationalistic rhetoric and the imperative to ‘give something back’ after Covid are shown to be part of wider feeling rules which create the NHS as an idealised object requiring performative displays of gratitude and positive affect. Discursive positioning of fundraisers and NHS staff as heroes becomes problematic in an affective economy where national calls to “be there” and show our love for the NHS set unrealistic demands and obscure existing deficits and existential threats to the NHS.
