This book studies the multiple ways of breathing (in) and knowing (of) contemporary lifeworlds. It offers a collection of ethnographic and interdisciplinary essays articulating the politics and poetics of air, atmosphere, and the body across diverse geographical locations, historical moments, and theoretical approaches. The book argues that air, atmosphere, and the body are relational entities shaping and shaped by the very act of breathing. It shows how differences in air, atmosphere, and the body at the scales of neighborhoods, regions, nation-states, and the planet co-constitute breathing inequalities and respiratory conditions of possibilities in suffocating times.

As part of the Routledge Critical Perspectives on Breath and Breathing series, Ways of Breathing and Knowing will be an indispensable critical pedagogical companion for students and researchers of anthropology, gender studies, political sciences, science and technology studies, psychology, environmental studies, human geography, and philosophy. It will also be of interest to activists, artists, curators, and cultural and environmental institutions.

Nasima Selim is a Professor of Public Anthropology at the University of Bremen and Adjunct Professor at the James P Grant School of Public Health, Brac University, Bangladesh.

Judith Albrecht is an associate Professor for Social Science and head of the research institute for interdisciplinary ethnography on gender, violence, sexuality and justice at Webster University in Vienna, Austria.
