Mapping Emotions, Constructing Feelings
Journal of the Economic and Social History of the Orient, 2015
This article looks at the creation of feelings and their expression in Delhi in the 1840s and investigates the link between spaces and the emotions that they are built to evoke in the actors moving through them. Further, it investigates the intertwined relations between emotions and changing affective practices. For this, it draws on several archives that have long been viewed as belonging to different disciplines and proposes developing ways in which the interface between linguistic and non-linguistic sources can be explored, ranging from architecture—streets, buildings, and gardens—to miniatures and paintings, from census reports to poetry to topographical descriptions.

This paper introduces the research field "Urban Emotions" -an interdisciplinary approach combining not only spatial planning and (geo-) informatics, but also computer linguistics and sensor technology methods. A new set of methods will be formed for the area of urban and spatial planning, resulting in a fundamental change of the understanding of planning. One of the main objectives is the involvement of citizens into planning processes. Therefore, new techniques are developed to collect and analyse data on the emotional perception of space and provide it to the people and also planners. Not only the human perception in the context of the city, and the combination with human sensory processes are contents of this paper, but also the critical discussion of these effects to privacy issues. Based on the topics "mental maps" and psychogeography in combination with the field of digital emotional urban tagging, the potential of integrating objectively quantified emotions in the context of citizen participation will be explained. In the following, partly established and partly experimental methods for collecting and analysing "Urban Emotions" will be introduced. Based on two studies, the possibilities of transfering these methodsinto the planning praxis will be shown on the one hand and on the other hand the potential for further development for other disciplines will be more evident.
ANTH 622 Anthropology of Emotions
Emotions are not only psychological states but are also social and cultural practices. This course examines how we anthropologically and sociologically investigate and think about emotions as both subjective and collective experiences. As a graduate seminar, the course aims to introduce graduate students some selected theoretical discussions and ethnographic studies on emotions as social and cultural practices. During the course, the class will focus on diverse aspects of emotions of hate, violence, fear, pain, death, love, trust, happiness, and hope in a comparative ways by including perspectives from both Western and non-Western traditions, particularly from the Islamic traditions. This course will help students to develop their skills for a deeper understanding of emotions not only as intimate experiences but also as social and cultural phenomena. The course will run as a seminar with participation of students, discussions on critical questions related to reading materials including some selected films.

These vary according to individuals, their cultures and also to the time of day, day of week, season, special occasions and more.

Maps are somehow shy. They tend to hide their emotional side behind their clear lines, precise points, minimalistic words, numerical data and informative purpose. But when we scratch the cartographic surface, maps appear to be impregnated with all sorts of emotions. The emotions associated with the topic mapped and the ones evoked through the carto-graphic design. The emotions felt by the mapmaker while drawing the map and the ones felt by the map user when discovering it. The anger and sadness triggered by social injustices revealed on a map, or the simple pleasure felt while admiring a beautiful cartographic design. The emotional experiences we clearly remember and the most common ones we hardly notice or we simply forget. Beneath the surface, maps and mapping teem with emotions of all sorts. In this introduction to the special issue on Maps and Emotions, we will reveal the multiple relationships that exist between maps, mapping, and emotions.

In the last decades we have witnessed a renaissance of interest in emotions as an academic subject. Using temporal approaches, the present study proposes new experimental ways of mapping and classifying our emotional preferences. This paper is a short sketch summing up the results of this study, fully described in my book Cartography of Emotions. This experiment confirmed statistically something that had never been reported before: regardless of sex, age or education, people tend to define emotions in correlation with their birth date and the corresponding predominant element. These findings are consistent with the philosophy of antiquity concerning the four primordial elements.
Feeling maps survey and map people’s emotional responses to their environment as they walk through the streets of a particular urban area. This study describes the first application of feeling maps in long-term, ethnographic field research. It was conducted in Mitzpe Ramon, a small town in Israel’s Negev Desert Highlands. Over the course of one year, an ethnographer individually accompanied 55 participants with diverse social characteristics on a set of seven walking routes. These routes included neighborhood spaces, open public spaces, and at least one view of the surrounding natural desert landscape. The locations where between two and seven participants spontaneously reported experiencing strong feelings (positive, negative, or mixed) based on a numerical rating scale and open-ended narration were identified as “affective clusters.” Results suggest that people’s shared feelings about specific places are influenced by the particular physical properties and characteristics of a given place. Making a contribution to cognitive mapping and environmental preference techniques, feeling maps enable researchers to share a participant’s position and views of the landscape as he or she articulates emotions and memories related to those views. Replicable in any setting, this technique could be used to create and maintain spaces that are attractive, inviting, and emotionally pleasing to a variety of users.
The Emotional Bonds Aspect of Religious Tourism Development in Baiturahman Grand Mosque
Jurnal Koridor
Tourism is highly dependent on the attractiveness and interest of tourists and local people to visit these destinations. When tourism is linked to the success of a city in supporting its economy, questions will arise about who has an emotional attraction to tourist destinations and what is the comparison between the levels of visits by local and foreign tourists to tourist destinations, especially religious tourism. The existence of an emotional bond between tourists and tourist destinations will help the level of visits that occur in the future. By using an emotional bond approach between visitors and religious tourism destinations, a comparison of the level of visits by local and foreign tourists will arise, so this problem becomes a complex matter to discuss. One of the tourist destinations that is experiencing regional development is the Baiturrahman Grand Mosque, Banda Aceh City, which is better known as religious tourism. In addition, this area has a very high level of visits,...
