What kind of mood does a late-night walk in a city evoke? Is there a distinct ambiance of the desert or the city? How can we describe the uncanny feeling that our own home sometimes gives us? And what about the vibes of places like a train station, a football stadium, a temple, or of those boring spaces left behind at urban planning? Atmospheres in Everyday Life: On Existential Spatiality explores the experience of atmospheres in our daily life. Moving from the numinous to the mundane and back again, it delves into the interplay between self, language, and spatial environment, where atmospheres shape our experiences before we, in turn, become agents who interact with them. Drawing inspiration from recent phenomenological inquiries, this book juxtaposes theoretical discourse with vivid descriptions of tangible spaces.
