在专注于神经城市主义、神经地理学和生物社会性的新兴研究领域中，使用新兴的移动的生物传感器方法进行实验，很少有人使用它们来研究遭受高度暴力和其他社会空间不公正的社区中的社会空间生活。扩展身体，情绪和影响的非代表性帐户，本文讨论了一个实验性的地理学神经科学合作，在里约热内卢的贫民窟工作，探索体现城市情感和暴力边缘城市社区的影响。强调非代表性的，correlative空间的做法，在巴西的贫民窟生活的妇女的研究，我们使用皮肤电活动生物传感器，提出一种新的方法和分析方法，侧重于情感衰弱和弹性的形式。在理论上，我们借鉴生物政治理论和边界理论，提出了一种方法，避免边界的生物政治和死亡政治帐户之间的对立。该研究于2016年6月进行，旨在了解生活在里约热内卢贫民窟Maré Complex的女性的情感衰弱或恢复力水平。使用可穿戴的生物传感器，我们测量了8名妇女的皮肤电活动，因为她们在贫民窟进行了一次例行的日常旅行。我们还对每位参与者进行了长达一小时的定性访谈。我们发现，对于我们所有的参与者，导航贫民窟的暴力边界空间科目他们的身体非常高的情感和认知需求水平。虽然有些女性对此做出了应激反应，造成了严重的情感衰弱，但其他人的反应非常强烈，表现出异常高的情感弹性。我们的研究强调了女性共同构建城市边界所需的情感劳动，并强调了她们在塑造贫民窟情感氛围方面的代理和日常抵抗形式。综合生物传感（皮电活动/皮肤电反应）数据和采访数据显示，生活在贫民窟的妇女经历着高度的压力和恐惧。对一个居民来说，这导致了情感的衰弱（影响和被影响的能力的伤害）。然而，其他女性表现出非常高的情感弹性和抵抗力。研究指出，妇女在共同构建贫民窟的具体边界方面发挥着重要作用。
Within emerging fields of research focusing on neuro‐urbanism, neuro‐geographies, and biosociality, which experiment with using emerging mobile biosensor methods, few if any have used them to research socio‐spatial life in communities that suffer high levels of violence and other socio‐spatial injustices. Extending non‐representational accounts of the body, emotions, and affect, this paper discusses an experimental geography–neuroscience collaboration, working in a favela of Rio de Janeiro to explore the embodied urban emotions and affects of violently bordered urban communities. Emphasising non‐representational, corporeal spatial practices in a study of women living in Brazil's favelas, we use electrodermal activity biosensors to propose a novel methodological and analytical approach that focuses on forms of affective debilitation and resilience. Theoretically, we draw on biopolitical theory and border theory to propose a method that avoids oppositions between biopolitical and necropolitical accounts of borders. The aim of the research, conducted in June 2016, is to understand levels of affective debilitation or resilience among women living in the Maré Complex of favelas in Rio de Janeiro. Using a wearable biosensor, we took measures of electrodermal activity of eight women as they undertook one of their routine, everyday journeys within the favela. We also conducted an hour‐long qualitative interview with each participant. We find that for all our participants, navigating the favela's violent border spaces subjects their bodies to very high levels of affective and cognitive demand. While some women responded to this with stress reactions that created acute levels of affective debilitation, others responded very strongly, showing exceptionally high levels of affective resilience. Our research highlights the affective labour required of women to co‐construct urban borders, and emphasizes their agency and forms of everyday resistance in shaping the favela's affective atmospheres. Combined biosensing (electrodermal activity/galvanic skin response) data and interview data reveal that women living in the favela experience high levels of stress and fear. For one resident this results in affective debilitation (a wounding of the capacity to affect and to be affected). However, other women showed exceptionally high levels of affective resilience and resistance. The research points to the important role of women in co‐constructing the embodied borders of the favela.
