Atlas of Emotion

Reviews / Votes

One of those critical works packed with learning and insights that at the same time takes you on an exhilarating ride through its author's imagination. -- Marina Warner * Guardian * In this astonishingly provocative, captivating, tender, elegant, and passionate nonchronological, interdisciplinary book, Bruno connects splendidly a psychogeography of cultural life. . . She takes the readers through a poetico-scholarly and picturesque journey-a visual travelogue, based both on philosophical theories and erudite conjectures ... Bruno writes like an expressionist painter, who deeply captures the invisible and the instantaneous. * Choice * A hugely ambitious mapping of the complex intertwinings of film, architecture, and the body. This adventurous book will be of interest to anyone concerned with what we might call 'mobility studies': the attempt to understand cultural performances not as the manifestation of fixed structures but as the expression of restless energies. -- Stephen Greenblatt, Harvard University In an exhilarating ride, the reader is transported across this vast hidden landscape to reach a whole new understanding of spatial experience. -- Mark Wigley, Professor of Architecture, Columbia University
