Book Synopsis
Available open access digitally under CC-BY-NC-ND licence.
From parenting and pilgrimage to activism and mourning, this thought-provoking book explores how digital connection--and disconnection--shapes the emotional texture of our lives.
Using the concept of 'affective atmospheres', the authors examine the feelings that emerge in the interactions between people, platforms and places. Drawing on rich, real-world examples, it explores how digital media infuse our homes, beliefs, rituals and politics with emotion, tension and meaning.
A timely exploration of the emotional labour of online life, this book offers fresh insights into how we feel our way through digital culture.
