La época actual se está desarrollando como un momento de crisis planetaria. Las razones de tal condición disruptiva se identifican a menudo en el sistema dualista que ha dado forma a las epistemologías occidentales y ha generado una profunda desconexión entre los seres humanos y la naturaleza (Escobar, 2018). Mientras el entorno en el que están inmersas las personas se perciba como un objeto separado en lugar de un proceso de cocreación relacional, las posibilidades de catalizar un cambio de paradigma sistémico parecen escasas.
En el ámbito de la moda y el textil, los diseñadores han intentado superar la separación natureculture (Haraway, 2003) de diversas formas experimentales. Aunque estas acciones pretenden volver a conectar con el medioambiente, se ven desafiadas por el marco dualista en el que se desenvuelven y que inhibe al cuerpo de sentir realmente esa conexión. Esta contribución desea proponer un marco de investigación basado en la encarnación y la relacionalidad: la atmósfera.
A través de una revisión bibliográfica selectiva de este tema en estética, geografía cultural y moda, emerge el carácter no dualista y relacional de la atmósfera (Griffero, 2019; Böhme, 2016). En el espacio atmosférico, los flujos climáticos y afectivos de cuerpos, materiales, humanos y no humanos se encuentran, mezclan y conforman (Anderson, 2009; McCormack, 2008; Ingold, 2010). Sin embargo, comprender y sentir las dinámicas relacionales de la existencia que se dan entre los cuerpos y el entorno es necesario para encontrar formas de sintonizar con los flujos atmosféricos. El presente artículo sostiene que, en el marco de la atmósfera, la moda —entendida como una práctica sensorial y encarnada (Entwistle, 2023; Ruggerone, 2016; Kwan, 2020; Robinson, 2025)— puede constituir un terreno prometedor para fomentar la sintonía con el medioambiente y las perspectivas no dualistas.
