“…On the other hand, the article mobilises biographical notes, based on my banal experience of spending a short period in a condition of relative distance from the urban (or, at least, the 'urban' in the conventional sense) and from city life. Strictly speaking, there is nothing notable in my experience as described in this paper: the use of autobiographical notes is intended as a way to use my own body as a research tool, particularly in the emotional sphere (see for example Moss 2001;Pile 2010;Punch 2012;Claid 2018; see also recent debates on visceral methodologies: Sexton et al 2017). As I will argue, the experience of 'missing the urban' induced me to reflect on urbanism and the ways in which I emotionally locate its insides and its outsides.…”

This contribution to the Scenes & Sounds section of CITY reflects on the experience of feeling 'outside' the urban by focusing on urban absences. The argument is developed first through theoretical speculations on planetary urbanism, emotions and absences/presences. The paper then mobilises autobiographical accounts concerning the emotions that I experienced during a summer spent in an alpine village. The paper suggests that, in my emotional sphere, the village was a 'constitutive outside' of the urban, particularly through the manipulation of feelings of distance from, and proximity to, the urban. In this sense, the paper proposes that the village was not simply a 'negative other' of the urban; rather, it may be regarded as an outside which was relationally constructed in a position of continuity with the inside: the extra-urban may include and exceed the urban, and it may emotionally perform the role of a constitutive outside
