Description
"This episodic, experimental, and intellectually capacious book is an example of what contemporary anthropology and musicology do best. It has the potential to serve as a catalyst to decenter affect as the preeminent analytic of arts and humanities scholarship."--Timothy Cooper, author of Moral Atmospheres: Islam and Media in a Pakistani Marketplace

"This book has potential for becoming a seminal work, providing intellectual and analytical tools for future generations of scholars across a broad range of academic terrains. The vagueness and, by definition, ineffability of atmospheres make them a heuristic resource that is abstractable and applicable across cultures and historical contingencies."--Carola Lorea, author of Folklore, Religion and the Songs of a Bengali Madman: A Journey between Performance and the Politics of Cultural Representation

"Atmospheres are everywhere--and yet they have been surprisingly underresearched until now. This wonderfully provocative book provides a foundational text for tomorrow's theorists in fields like anthropology, environmental studies, music and sound studies, and critical geography."--Jim Sykes, author of The Musical Gift: Sonic Generosity in Post-War Sri Lanka
