Atmosphere and Aesthetics: A Plural Perspective
Tonino Griffero & Marco Tedeschini (eds.)
Springer Verlag (2019)
Abstract
This book provides a presentation of the concept of “atmosphere” in the realm of aesthetics. An “atmosphere” is meant to be an emotional space. Such idea of “atmosphere” has been more and more subsumed by human and social sciences in the last twenty years, thereby becoming a technical notion. In many fields of the Humanities, affective life has been reassessed as a proper tool to understand the human being, and is now considered crucial. In this context, the link between atmospheres and aesthetics becomes decisive. Nowadays, aesthetics is no longer only a theory of art, but has recovered its original vocation: to be a general theory of perception conceived of as an ordinary experience of pre-logical character. In its four parts, this volume discusses whether atmospheres could take the prominent and paradigmatic position previously held by art in order to make sense of such sensible experience of the world.Author's Profile

Chapters
Architecture as Musical Atmosphere
Recent architectural theory has increasingly identified the importance of atmosphere as a primary aesthetic concept in architecture. Architectural meaning is indeed dependent on atmospheric qualities, on their compatibility and appropriateness to human situations and habits framed by physical struct... see more
“The Atmospheres of Tones”: Notions of Atmosphere in Music Scholarship Between 1840 and 1930
This chapter is an enquiry into the use of the term “atmosphere” in germanophone music scholarship between 1840 and 1930. I argue that the semantic scope of the term, which was later developed into an aesthetic concept in its own right, can only be understood by taking into account the full panoply ... see more
Renga and Atmosphere
This chapter is devoted to an atmospheric interpretation of the traditional form of Japanese poetry called renga. Analysing renga has relevant cultural implications. It shows that poetry is not only centred on the “singing” subject but is a collective way of creating the whole poetry in the same pla... see more
Atmosphere and Taste, Individual and Environment
The relationship between the human being and their environment has been investigated in many ways during the twentieth century. In this chapter, I will address the topic by focusing on the way that has conceived of such relationship in terms of atmosphere. I will claim that, in order to provide a pr... see more
Smell and Atmosphere
The term atmosphere originally stems from meteorology but it has metaphorically been used since the Goethe-Epoch in all European languages. This metaphorical usage expresses the idea of a tuned space, that is, a space endowed with a mood. By examining the tight connections existing between atmospher... see more
The Lightness of Atmospheric Communities
The atmospheric aspects of places have increasingly come under academic scrutiny by philosophers and social scientists. One strand of literature addresses what they are, while another, particularly from the social sciences, focuses on what they do: the collective aspects of engaging, staging and cha... see more
Psychopathology, Atmospheres, and Clinical Transformations: Towards a Field-Based Clinical Practice
The concept of atmosphere in psychopathology has been used sporadically and by only a few, albeit authoritative, authors, although such contributions, largely neglected by debate in psychiatry and psychotherapy, today are particularly interesting because they point to and support a conception of psy... see more
Atmospheres of Learning, Atmospheric Competence
Educational situations are mainly based on curricula, methods, and principles of teaching. For a long time, the pedagogical relationship had mostly been ignored until John Hattie rediscovered it. The following text proposes the hypothesis that the individual way of interaction between pedagogue and ... see more
Atmospheres and Memory: A Phenomenological Approach
The chapter examines the atmospheric qualities of memory and remembrance. It applies a phenomenological approach to illuminate what kind of atmospheres is involved with states of remembrance and in which way. Empirically, the main focus of the examination is Marcel Proust’s detailed description of r... see more
Atmospheric Aestheses: Law as Affect
Law as commodity value is not a new position. The most easily recognisable forms of law have always been associated with an economic value. Law’s commodity value, however, is increasingly superseded by its affective value, namely law’s ability to stage itself and communicate to the world that itself... see more
A Jungly Feeling: The Atmospheric Design of Zoos
This chapter examines the importance of atmosphere in understanding our experiences of zoos. It focuses in particular on the role played by sound in the production of atmospheres in the zoo context. Zoos often work hard to generate atmospheres which are appropriate to their purpose as sites for ente... see more
Atmosphere, Place, and Phenomenology: Depictions of London Place Settings in Three Writings by British-African Novelist Doris Lessing
In this chapter, I focus on a phenomenology of atmosphere as related to place. By “atmosphere,” I refer to a diffuse ineffability that regularly attaches itself to particular things, situations, spaces, and environments. By “place,” I refer to any environmental locus gathering experiences, actions, ... see more
The Atmospheric Sense: Peripheral Perception and the Experience of Space
This chapter provides a historical, ecological and evolutionary perspective to the meaning of atmospheric experience. Modern and contemporary architectures have focused on vision and neglected many of the sensory and mental issues in our relationship with physical settings, both natural and man-made... see more
The Lesser Existence of Ambiance
Ambiance is rooted in a fragile, spectral and precarious mode of existence. What of its ability to infuse everyday experiences and to atmospherize ordinary situations? What happens when we approach ambiance along its influences and its operational modes? Being of a lesser existence, ambiance exerts ... see more
Japanese Atmospheres: Of Sky, Wind and Breathing
This chapter offers an introduction to three fundamental atmospheric notions deployed by Japanese culture, observing them both in their original context and through a neophenomenological frame. The three concepts are that of 空 ku- “sky”, 風 fu- “wind” and 気 ki “air” or “breath”. Each of them, however... see more
Atmospheres and Moods: Two Modes of Being-with
Being-in-the-world is felt as a mood, but it is also perceived in atmospheres. Both forms of emotional state are closely related. As musical instruments can be tuned for a certain tone, so also atmospheres and persons can be attuned for a certain feeling. Not only does colloquial language blur the d... see more
Atmospheric Spaces
The chapter offers a short history of the concept of space, from which it derives a differentiation of spaces. More importantly, it is shown that it is necessary to consider the felt body as the object that lives “in” and “through” said spaces. The felt body—as opposed to the biological body—is some... see more
Is There Such a Thing as an “Atmospheric Turn”? Instead of an Introduction
In this chapter the author asks whether the theme of atmosphere is only a short-term cultural trend or whether it hides something deeper concerning our lives as human beings. Griffero notices that the humanities use the notion of atmosphere as a heuristic device to empirically research affects whene... see more
Introduction
This chapter has two different parts. The editors, firstly, provide some of the reasons motivating this book project, which has been conceived and planned to give an account of the widespread interest gained by the ordinary concept of “atmosphere” in the last twenty years. “Atmosphere” has been more... see more
