“…Anderson (2009: 79; argues that atmospheres 'are perpetually forming and deforming, appearing and disappearing as bodies enter into relation with one another'. For Bissell (2018), such relations produce major as well as minor atmospheres that are fleeting, coexist and register as affective intensities in a particular place. These atmospheres are hard to categorise or name, except when they change the way encounters unfold; they become palpable through bubbling up, curdling and slicing atmospheres that acquire stability during encounters (Bissell, 2018).…”

“…In conceptualising animal atmospheres, Lorimer et al, (2019) draw on western intellectual traditions within more-than-representational geography, in particular, the work of Anderson (2009) and Bissell (2018) as well as philosophers Bohme, Spinoza, Deleuze and Massumi. Bohme (1993) describes atmospheres as having different tones and feelingsa haze that fills space.…”

This article adopts a place-based approach to explore tiger atmospheres in the Sundarbans, a transboundary environmental commons and major climatic hotspot in the Ganges-Brahmaputra-Meghna delta of India and Bangladesh. We argue that affective intensities of greed ( lobh), fear ( bhaya), respect ( srodhya), trust ( biswas) and empathy ( karuna) sensed by the tiger subject contribute to novel theoretical as well as empirical insights into co-belonging and intersectional multispecies justice. We explore these animal atmospheres through multi-sited ethnographic research that include embodied observations, photographs, 31 in-depth interviews and focus groups with impoverished as well as racialised low-caste Hindus (Dalits/Scheduled Castes), Adivasis (Indigenous peoples) and Muslim forest-dwellers in India and Bangladesh. This attention to more-than-human geographies, animal atmospheres and subaltern stories situated in the Bengal delta unsettles macro-narratives of forest conservation and wildlife management that reduce animals to passive subjects or alternatively make them killable.
