109).Ģ The aim of this paper is to ground such an analysis in a theoretical framework built on the notions of affective atmosphere, as conceptualized in recent Anglo-Saxon human geography and on the notion of ambiance, as conceptualized in research on architecture and urban studies in France. argue that this static perspective is not sufficient there is a need to shift to a more fluid one, where the “city is approached as a flow of experience, in which patients encounter elements that are assembled in various ways depending on how they see and practice ‘the urban’” (p. In order to gain insight in the ways in which urbanicity and psychosis are entangled, Söderström, Abrahamyan Empson, Codeluppi et al. 109) to which one would be exposed, rather than the city as experience. In medical research, most studies addressing the relation between urbanicity and psychosis or schizophrenia have dealt with the city as substance, “as set of material things and social characteristics” (Söderström, Abrahamyan Empson, Codeluppi et al. However, the mechanisms linking urban milieus and mental illness are still unknown. Haut de pageġ The relationship between cities and psychosis, notably reported in 1939 by Robert Faris and Warren Dunham, has gained renewed interest in recent years, and urbanicity - as labelled within psychiatry - has been found to be associated with increased risk for schizophrenia and psychosis (Vassos, Pedersen, Murray et al., 2012, p. Cet article propose ainsi d’esquisser une approche méthodologique en cohérence avec cette distinction théorique. En outre, ces deux concepts mettent l’accent sur deux registres différents de l’expérience : alors que l’ambiance tend à souligner la dimension sensorielle et consciente de l’expérience, la notion d’atmosphère affective met l’accent sur une dimension pré-cognitive et corporelle de cette expérience.
Il est mis en évidence qu’une approche atmosphérique permet de dégager des dimensions insuffisamment prises en compte dans les recherches en psychiatrie. S’appuyant sur la confrontation de ces concepts, l’article discute des similitudes entre ambiances et atmosphères affectives, avant de souligner leurs différences.

L’objectif de cet article est de fonder une analyse du lien ville-psychose, et plus précisément de l’expérience urbaine des individus diagnostiqués schizophrènes dans un cadre théorique reposant sur la notion d’atmosphère affective, telle que conceptualisée en géographie humaine anglo-saxonne d’une part, et la notion d’ambiance, telle que développée dans la recherche sur l’architecture et l’environnement urbain en France d’autre part. Finally, the paper sketches out a methodological framework in coherence with this conceptual distinction. Furthermore, the two concepts stress two different registers of experience: whereas ambiance puts emphasis on a perceptual, sensory and conscious level of experience of urban environment, affective atmosphere highlights a more pre-reflective, bodily dimension.
It is argued that an atmospheric approach points out dimensions not sufficiently taken into account in research in psychopathology. Drawing upon the confrontation of those concepts, the paper highlights the similarities of ambiance and affective atmospheres, before underlining their differences. The aim of this paper is to ground an analysis of the city-psychosis nexus, and more precisely of the urban experience of individuals diagnosed with schizophrenia in a theoretical framework built on the notion of affective atmosphere, as conceptualized in recent Anglo-American human geography and on the notion of ambiance, as conceptualized in research on architecture and urban studies in France.
