How do ambiances shape our sensory, social, and built environments? This book offers interdisciplinary perspectives to understand the profound ways in which ambiances redefine our experiences and perceptions of ordinary spaces.The study of ambiances is part of an important trend in the contemporary urban world, where increasing attention is being given to the sensitive and affective dimensions of space and experience. Beginning with an exploration of foundational concepts, this book then delves into the sensory, philosophical, and cultural dimensions of ambiances at the intersection of sensory environments and lived experiences. It explores the role of ambiances play in architectural design, urban spaces, and daily life. It engages with questions of contemporary sensibility, the sensitive experience of architectures and urban spaces, and the dialogue between the notion of ambiances and that of affective atmospheres. This book connects diverse perspectives of architects, philosophers, anthropologists and geographers to map the conceptual and practical territories of ambiances, from their roots in Francophone research to their broader global implications.This book offers an essential guide to the study of ambiances, providing a foundational and forward-looking exploration that is valuable for researchers and upper level undergraduates of architecture, urban studies, urban planning, human geography, anthropology and philosophy.

Performance Studies in Motion offers multiple perspectives on the current field of performance studies and suggests its future directions. Featuring new essays by pioneers Richard Schechner and Barbara Kirshenblatt-Gimblett, and by international scholars and practitioners, it shows how performance can offer a new way of seeing the world, and testifies to the dynamism of this discipline. Beginning with an overview of the development of performance studies, the essays offer new insights into: contemporary experimental and postdramatic theatre; participatory performance and museum exhibitions; the performance of politicians, political institutions and grassroots protest movements; theatricality at war and in contemporary religious rituals, and performative practices in therapy, education and life sciences. Employing original reflexive approaches to concrete case studies and situations, contributors introduce a variety of applications of performance studies methodologies to contemporary culture, art and society, creating new interdisciplinary links between the arts, humanities, and social and natural sciences. With studies from and about places as diverse as Austria, Belgium, China, France, Germany, Israel, Korea, Palestine, the Philippines, Poland, Rwanda and the USA, Performance Studies in Motion showcases the vitality and breadth of the field today.
