After the Congresses of Grenoble, Montreal and Volos, the 4th International Ambiances Network Congress, entitled “Ambiances, Alloaesthesia: Senses, Inventions, Worlds”, explores the renewal of forms of feeling in a world undergoing major changes. It considers how current environmental, social, technological, political and ethical shifts are likely to affect sensory worlds, their ambiances and the ways we experience them. The conference proceedings are now available for download here.
This conference brings together more than a hundred scientific contributions coming from an international base of academics, practitioners, artists and PhD students working on ambiances and atmospheres. They offer an up-to-date account of the variety of themes and issues within this field, showcasing the latest research and methodological approaches. Organized in sixteen themed sessions, the presentations examine the ongoing preoccupations, debates, theories, politics and practices of this field, drawing on multidisciplinary expertise from areas as diverse as anthropology, architecture, computer science, cultural studies, design, engineering, geography, musicology, psychology, sociology, urban studies and so on.
