Il contributo analizza la confidenza come atmosfera emotiva, assumendola come caso paradigmatico per esplorare la dimensione atmosferico affettiva del sociale. Ponendo in dialogo l’approccio della Sociologia Neofenomenologica (NPS) e il trattato di Raimon Panikkar sulla confidenza, si indagherà questo sentimento nella sua dimensione patica e involontaria, capace di sospendere la volontà individuale. L’articolo descrive il fenomeno della confidenza come una atmosfera che favorisce l’autoattribuzione, il riconoscersi nelle proprie inclinazioni e tendenze e la scoperta della propria Meità in situazione. Distinguendo la confidenza da concetti quali intimità e fiducia, il lavoro ne evidenzia l’autonomia situazionale e la capacità di trasformare l’orizzonte relazionale. Si propongono infine riflessioni sulle nuove frontiere e prospettive di ricerca sulla confidenza, in particolare nell’interazione con le intelligenze artificiali e sulla sua crescente mercificazione sociale.
