Triggered by “unseen”, “invisible”, or “silent” emotionalscapes, the representation of “immateriality” as material, the paper looks at theories, practices and meanings, the correlation between “emotional” and “spatial”. How landscape-rooted affective elements can be (non) spatially represented? What are contribution and limitations of “Emotional Mapping” as a tool? How can we use experimental mapping techniques to map-out subjective “emotions” to the tangible, and how or to what extent qualitative data can be converted into a “standardized” spatial language? The paper argues for a mixed-methods approach, relying on sensory and participatory ethnographic techniques, bringing together Non-Quantitative GIS and the “conventional” one.

The paper is the part of a doctoral research in progress, carried out within the MSCA ITN Project “Critical Heritage Studies and the Future of Europe – CHEurope”. This project has received funding from the European Union's Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation programme under the Marie Skłodowska‐Curie Grant Agreement No – 722416.
