Atmoshperes of and in Geography

The paper focuses on the elements shared by the phenomenological and the aesthetological description of atmospheres, on the one hand and geographic studies, on the other. Consequently, the authors performed a critical re-reading of the atmospheres ‘of’ Geography, that is to say the concepts that have become the very heritage of the discipline. The occasion seemed to be also suitable for re-thinking the materiality of the discipline, i.e. atmospheres ‘in’ Geography, which are in turn the outcome of a reflection on the specific aspects of the discipline and on the re-discovery of the concept that in the last decade has characterised a major part of the new cultural Geography.
