Preferred term

geography and emotions  

Definition

  • In the history of the discipline, despite there having been no explicit body of work (until recently) related to emotional geographies (geographic knowledge written with and/or on emotions) or the geography of emotions (a mapping of different emotional states), much work in human geography speaks about how people emotionally embody space and place. Forming a wide-ranging and sophisticated intellectual backlash against the silence of positivistic and masculinist human geography on questions of embodied human, humanistic, feminist, psychoanalytic, and nonrepresentational approaches in the discipline all have conceptualized diverse emotional relations and spaces in everyday life.
