Atmospheres and Digital Media: Connection and Disconnection Across Everyday
Life

Edited by: Ana Jorge <https://bristoluniversitypress.co.uk/ana-jorge> and Sofia
P. Caldeira <https://bristoluniversitypress.co.uk/sofia-caldeira>


>From parenting and pilgrimage to activism and mourning, this 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.
