Weather: Spaces, Mobilities and Affects
This book delves into the everyday spaces, diverse mobilities and affective potency of weather. It presents cutting-edge research into the multiplicity of weather phenomena and analyses the lived experiences of humans in conjunction with contemporary issues, notably climate change. The book considers how everyday experiences of weather in the mundane lives of people are linked to broader changes in weather patterns and climate change. Heat, dust, ice, snow, precipitation, sunlight, clouds, tides and fog are states of weather that impact on the ways in which humans become intertwined with landscapes. Our experiences with weather are diverse and ever-changing, and engaging with weather entangles humans with mobilities, materials and landscapes. This book thus explores affective and sensory resonances, drawing upon a variety of theoretical, empirical and creative material to investigate how weather is perceived in different social and cultural contexts. Key themes focus on the mobilities generated by weather, the affective and sensual potency of weather, and the diverse cultural forms and practices that exemplify how weather is historically, geographically and artistically represented. Offering a social and cultural understanding of weather events, this book contributes to a growing literature on weather across various disciplines, including human geography and cultural geography, and will thus appeal to students and scholars of geography, sociology, humanities, cultural studies and the arts.
Rethinking Environmental Education in a Climate Change Era
As the impact of climate change has become harder to ignore, it has become increasingly evident that children will inherit futures where climate challenges require new ways of thinking about how humans can live better with the world. This book re-situates weather in early childhood education, examining people as inherently a part of and affected by nature, and challenges the positioning of humans at the centre of progress and decision-making. Exploring the ways children can learn with weather, this book for researchers and advanced students, works with the pedagogical potential in children’s relations with weather as a vital way of connecting with and responding to wider climate concerns.
Non-representational and more-than-human research
This book fosters new links between non-representational theories and more-than-human perspectives. Offering multidisciplinary perspectives, from geography and anthropology, to social theory and qualitative research methodologies, it reimagines the boundaries of research by arguing for a new concept of “data.” Original, bold, and creative contributions provocatively push us to reimagine what is meant by data. No longer something we can unproblematically understand as an empirical given, the notion of data is reimagined as the relational outcome of encounters, engagements, attachments, and more-than-human relations. As such, the book expands the field of non-representational scholarship, challenging the ideas of data collection, analysis, and representation. This innovative book provides a courageous contemporary theoretical and methodological intervention. It will be valuable for students, researchers, and arts practitioners across the social sciences and will serve as the beginning of new methodological dialogues for years to come.
