“Climatic-affective atmospheres”: A conceptual tool for affective scholarship in a changing climate.
In everyday contexts ‘climate’ and ‘atmosphere’ are frequently used to refer to either the meteorological or the affective. I suggest we should take such common linguistic usage not as mere coincidence but as evidence of their always-already entangled nature. Definitions of the two can be eerily similar: what is climate, if not a set of relationally composed forces that literally press, shape, form, emanate from, and filter between ecological bodies, as affect has been defined?
Bearing worlds: Learning to live-with climate change
This paper explores the emotional experiences of some undergraduate sustainability students in a semester long course on climate change. Specifically, it attends to experiences of anxiety, frustration, overwhelm, guilt, grief and hope. I suggest these experiences are characteristic of a process I term learning to live-with climate change. Learning to live-with climate change involves attuning to the relational composition of the world and thus the self; mourning desirable relationships that are lost as the planet warms; and responding to these conditions in ways that may foster more liveable worlds.
