Abstract
Beginning its story in the West Midlands city of Stoke-on-Trent, the book uses the phrase ‘infrastructures of feeling’ to show how certain stories, affects, and experiences – what Raymond Williams referred to as structures of feeling – are connected to the hard materials that we encounter and rely on in our everyday lives, from railways and roads to sewers and housing.
