This paper examines the role of affective atmospheres in “doing” politics in diplomacy. By offering a thick exegesis of the ways in which these moods practically unfold at two International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) aviation summits, the paper shows how affective atmospheres have a potent steering effect on (geo)politics, constituting the virtual infrastructures of its conduct. While geographers have recently begun paying attention to the salience of affective atmospheres in diplomacy, current approaches still tend to treat them – if at all – as situational productions at specific sites. Engaging in ethnographic immersions in two ICAO summits, the paper offers an intimate reading of international-relations-in-action, across multivalent atmospheric experiences and transects. In particular, it highlights two modes of atmospheric conditioning in aviation diplomacy: one, the intermingling of work and play across time and, two, the overlap of various affective captures across space. The paper advocates a fuller appreciation of the contingency and adaptive nature of (geo)politics in its atmospheric productions. It also highlights the influence that these virtual infrastructures can have on decision-making in diplomacy.

峰会气氛:航空外交和政治虚拟基础设施

本文考察了情感氛围在外交中“做”政治中的作用。通过对这些情绪在两次国际民用航空组织 (ICAO) 航空峰会上实际展现的方式进行详尽的诠释,本文展示了情感氛围如何对(地缘)政治产生强大的指导作用,构成其行为的虚拟基础设施. 虽然地理学家最近开始关注外交中情感氛围的显着性,但当前的方法仍然倾向于将它们(如果有的话)视为特定地点的情境产物。该论文在两次国际民航组织峰会上进行了民族志沉浸式体验,深入解读了在行动中的国际关系,跨越多价大气经验和横断面。特别是,它强调了航空外交中的两种大气调节模式:一是工作和娱乐在时间上的混合,二是跨空间的各种情感捕捉的重叠。该论文主张更全面地了解(地缘)政治在其大气产物中的偶然性和适应性。它还强调了这些虚拟基础设施对外交决策的影响。
