Abstract

This paper explores the bodily practices, representation constructions, and performance processes of ethnic village residents in post-disaster emotional recovery using the framework of human emotions theory and the perspectives of representational and non-representational analysis within cultural geography. The study found that: 1) Individual bodily practices, driven by emotional arousal, contribute to reshaping the material space of the home and the placement of bodies and objects, thus promoting the initial recovery of emotions and the emotional healing of the home in disaster-affected residents. 2) Families affected by disaster dissolve the emotional disconnect and discomfort of the post-disaster home through daily life and livelihood recovery practices, leading to the rebuilding of the dynamic space of the home, the continuing of the emotional meaning of the home, and enhancing the level of emotional recovery. 3) The creation of a collective community participation atmosphere in ethnic festival rituals builds the space for individual and group interaction, highlighting the cultural nature of the festival rituals, generating cultural identity.
