Press blurb: How do we know through atmospheres? How can being affected by
an atmosphere give rise to knowledge? What role does somatic, nonverbal
knowledge play in how we belong to places? *Atmospheric Knowledge* takes up
these questions through detailed analyses of practices that generate
atmospheres and in which knowledge emerges through visceral intermingling
with atmospheres. From combined musicological and anthropological
perspectives, Birgit Abels and Patrick Eisenlohr investigate atmospheres as
a compelling alternative to better-known analytics of affect by way of
performative and sonic practices across a range of ethnographic settings.
With particular focus on oceanic relations and sonic affectedness, *Atmospheric
Knowledge *centers the rich affordances of sonic connections for knowing
our environments.
