A ective Architectures
How do places manipulate our emotions? How are spaces affectious in their
articulation and design? This book provides theoretical frameworks for
exploring affective dimensions of architectural sites based on the notion that
heritage, as an embodied experience, is embedded in places and spaces.
Drawing together an interdisciplinary collection of essays spanning geo
graphically diverse architectural sites—including Ford’s Theatre, the site of
President Lincoln’s assassination; the Estadio Nacional of Santiago, Chile,
where 12,000 detainees were held following the ouster of President Salvador
Allende; and Unit 731, the site of a biological and chemical warfare research
unit of the Imperial Japanese Army in Harbin, China, amongst others—this
edited collection assembles critical dialogue amongst scholars and practi
tioners engaging in affective and other more-than-representational approaches
to cultural memory, heritage, and identity-making. Broken into three main
sections—Affective Politics, Embedded Geographies, and Affective Meth
odologies—this book draws together multidisciplinary perspectives from the
arts, social sciences, and humanities to understand the role of architecture in
generating embodied experiences at places of memory.
This book offers interdisciplinary perspectives on fundamental questions of
memory, identity, and space. It will be of interest to students and scholars in the
fields of geography, architecture, cultural studies, and museum and heritage studies.
Jacque Micieli-Voutsinas, PhD is Assistant Professor of Museum Studies and
Public History at the University of Central Oklahoma and Director of the
Master of Arts Graduate Program in Museum Studies. Her research explores
the cultural politics of place-making at sites of difficult heritage. She is also
author of the forthcoming Routledge title Curating Trauma: Affective Heritage
and the Politics of Memorial Museums After 9/11.
Angela M. Person is Assistant Professor of Architecture at the University of
Oklahoma. Her research looks at relationships between built environments
and cultural memory. She is co-author of The Care and Keeping of Cultural
Facilities, and co-editor of Renegades: Bruce Goff and the American School of
Architecture.
Critical Studies in Heritage, Emotion and Affect
In Memory of Professor Steve Watson (1958–2016)
Series Editors: Divya P. Tolia-Kelly (University of Sussex) and
Emma Waterton (Western Sydney University)
This book series, edited by Divya P. Tolia-Kelly and Emma Waterton, is
dedicated to Professor Steve Watson. Steve was a pioneer in heritage studies
and was inspirational in both our personal academic trajectories. We, as three
editors of the series, started this journey together, but alas we lost his
magnificent scholarship and valued counsel too soon.
The series brings together a variety of new approaches to heritage as a sig
nificant affective cultural experience. Collectively, the volumes in the series
provide orientation and a voice for scholars who are making distinctive pro
gress in a field that draws from a range of disciplines, including geography,
history, cultural studies, archaeology, heritage studies, public history, tourism
studies, sociology and anthropology – as evidenced in the disciplinary origins
of contributors to current heritage debates. The series publishes a mix of
speculative and research-informed monographs and edited collections that
will shape the agenda for heritage research and debate. The series engages
with the concept and practice of Heritage as co-constituted through emotion
and affect. The series privileges the cultural politics of emotion and affect as
key categories of heritage experience. These are the registers through which
the authors in the series engage with theory, methods and innovations in
scholarship in the sphere of heritage studies.

Our bodies and movements are in constant interaction with the
environment; the world and the self inform and redefine each other
constantly. The percept of the body and the image of the world
turn into one single continuous existential experience; there is no
body separate from its domicile in space, and there is no space
unrelated to the unconscious image of the perceiving self.
