This collection of essays explores the fascinatingly rich and increasingly influential topic of atmosphere through the lens of somaesthetics and its concern with embodiment and the soma’s multimodal sensory experience. Authored by an international group of distinguished authors from diverse disciplines (philosophy, art, literature, sociology, cultural studies, and engineering), the essays range from general theories of atmosphere and its connections with cognate concepts of ambience, situation, and mood to particular studies of distinctive atmospheres such as confusion, traffic, pollution, dizziness, anxiety, depression, and spirituality. The essays exemplify how different atmospheres are created, experienced, and symbolized through the arts and design.
