Among the many possible definitions of affective, I refer here, following Hermann Schmitz’s approach, to the complex of dynamics that animate the felt body, including atmospheric forces such as spatially effused feelings and embodied movements as they are perceived by the subject without resorting to distal senses. It is therefore a broad spectrum, which includes but is not limited to emotions understood as instruments of response and adaptation of the organism to the environment, thus also considering what the subject shares with other bodies and subjects that occupy the same experiential space. Affective, therefore, are the relationships that are established between two or more bodies through resonance, whether these are collaborative or antagonistic: topologically articulated relationships, changing over time, both culturally and corporeally declined. On the contrary, the mere connection with the landscape established by the dynamics of dwelling is not to be understood as affective, at least not according to the definition proposed here: this is a more complex fact, based on affective dynamics of resonance, but comprising a broader canvas, composed of cultural and political threads.
