In this article, which is based on an empirical analysis of neoliberal restructuring in Leipzig, East Germany, I describe how the study of affective atmospheres adds to our understanding of urban restructuring, showing how collective moods affect (de)mobilization, contestation and the regulation of urban political economy to shed light on the relation between institutional, political and social processes. I demonstrate the relevance of affect for power relations, political interactions beyond rationality, and the rhythms and temporalities of urban restructuring, as exemplified by two prominent atmospheres that characterize Leipzig—post shrinkage depression (PSD) and anticipatory hope (AH).

抑郁与希望之间：东德莱比锡城市重建的情感调解

在这篇文章中，基于对东德莱比锡新自由主义重组的实证分析，我描述了情感氛围的研究如何增加我们对城市重组的理解，展示集体情绪如何影响动员（去）动员、争论和监管城市政治经济学的研究揭示了制度、政治和社会进程之间的关系。我论证了情感与权力关系、超越理性的政治互动以及城市重组的节奏和时间性的相关性，莱比锡的两种突出氛围——后收缩抑郁症（PSD）和预期希望（AH）——就是例证。
