What role does somatic, nonverbal knowledge play in how we belong to places? \u003ci\u003eAtmospheric Knowledge\u003c\/i\u003e takes up these questions through detailed analyses of practices that generate atmospheres and in which knowledge emerges through visceral intermingling with atmospheres. From combined musicological and anthropological perspectives, Birgit Abels and Patrick Eisenlohr investigate atmospheres as a compelling alternative to better-known analytics of affect by way of performative and sonic practices across a range of ethnographic settings. With particular focus on oceanic relations and sonic affectedness, \u003ci\u003eAtmospheric Knowledge \u003c\/i\u003ecenters the rich affordances of sonic connections for knowing our environments. \u003cbr\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBack Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis episodic, experimental, and intellectually capacious book is an example of what contemporary anthropology and musicology do best.
