affective urbanism - emotional geographies

"How is one to conceive of both the organization of a city and the construction of a collective infrastructure/MEMORY ?" Michel Foucault, (1984, 239):

There is an “intimate link between the personal experiences of public space and the larger categories of national belonging” (Noble and Poynting (p. 135; see also Wood ).

Using an MP3 player while travelling in public transport, they confront the soundscape and protect themselves from the influence of the affective atmosphere (Jungnickel & Aldred, 2013).

Amin talks of ‘lively infrastructure’, of the ways in which infrastructure is made and remade, of how infrastructures stimulate and are sites of engagement and activism. McFarlane and Rutherford (2008) draw attention to the way that infrastructure is political both in design and in its effects: infrastructures are sites of struggle, tension, and negotiation. Larkin argues that infrastructures are ‘poetic’ (Larkin, 2013), meaning that they stand for ‘more than themselves’: a water pipe is not just a water pipe, it is a marker of investment, it is a metric for financialisation, it can be translated into investment or jobs or employment. Infrastructures are social, made by and of people as much as matter; ‘a conjunction of heterogeneous activities, modes of production and institutional forms constitut[ing] highly mobile and provisional possibilities for how people live’ (Simone, 2004, p. 410). They are visible to some and invisible to others, accessible to some and not all, highly visible when they fail and receding into the background when their use is normalised.
