Abstract
Clouds are common elements in everyday life. Cloud physics and the science of clouds provide answers to questions about their formation, their characteristics, and their movement in the atmosphere. Yet clouds are also multifaceted elements in popular cultures as well as atmospheric geographies, which evoke various ideas of materiality and movement. And a cloud today is also a key technological concept, related to ubiquitous access to shared pools of data, resources, and services. The aim of this chapter is to develop a tentative geography of clouds and their variegated movements by engaging with different conceptual approaches. Merging perspectives from cultural geography (particularly post-human and atmospheric geographies) with ideas on physics and computing technologies, the chapter aims to transgress conventional epistemological and discursive boundaries, in order to stress the need for geographical understandings of movement that embrace the multitude of spatialities, ontologies, and epistemologies associated with the movement of non-human objects.
