The Atmospherical "We"
Moods and Collective Feelings By Tonino Griffero (University of Rome, Italy)
This book explores the relationship between atmospheres, expressive qualities, moods and collective feelings. Based on the neo-phenomenological theory of atmosphere perception as a primary pathic impression and bodily communication, this book explores the relationship between atmospheres, expressive qualities, moods, and collective feelings. It clarifies the key features of a general “pathic” aesthetic. By realising how they expose themselves to what happens, perceivers turn out not to be "subjects of something" but rather "subject to something".

Ethics and Representation in Feminist Rhetorical Inquiry
Edited by Amy Dayton and Jennie Vaughn
The historiography of feminist rhetorical research raises ethical questions about whose stories are told and how. Women and other marginalised people have been excluded historically from many formal institutions, and researchers in this field often turn to alternative archives to explore how women have used writing and rhetoric to participate in civic life, share their lived experiences, and effect change. The chapters in this volume present a frank conversation about the ways in which feminist scholars engage in the work of recovering hidden rhetorics, and grapple with the ethical challenges raised by this recovery work.

Aesthetics and Thought in Japan and the World Edited by Christopher Craig (Tohoku University, Japan), Enrico Fongaro (Tohoku University, Japan), Raffaele Milani (University of Bologna, Italy) and James Tink (Tohoku University, Japan)
A collection of papers examining human labour as expressed in the arts across East Asia and Europe. Adopting a perspective that crosses over from the classical world and into the future, this volume analyses human labour as expressed in the arts, poetics, and creative techniques. This is based on a basic idea that cuts across cultures and epochs, and the framework of Japanese, East Asian, and Western history. Drawing from prominent international scholars in art history, aesthetics, and philosophy, it provides a new perspective on images and the philosophies connected with them in Japan and Europe.

Fear and Disruption of Habits During the Pandemic
Edited by Marco Piazza (University of Rome, Italy) and Corinna Guerra (Centre Koyré, France)
A historical and philosophical approach to understanding COVID-19 from scholars with diverse perspectives and opinions. Could the pandemic affect shared habits in specific territories, habits that were ultimately generated in reaction to other natural risks and threats? When philosophers address the issue of collective habits, they have generally emphasised that caution us required when it comes to changing them. Through a historical and philosophical approach, this book brings together a diverse range of scholars with differing opinions on the pandemic to provide a holistic understanding our current situation.
