Summary/Abstract: The present article focuses on analysis of literary constructions of space in one of the latest plays by Elfriede Jelinek Winter’s Journey against the background of the aesthetics of cold, which seems to be specific to the writings of the Nobel Prize laureate. The phenomenology of weather conditions as well as the category of space provide a framework for reflection on atmosphere, which is created by new media and technologies as well as on communication of love in the context of the contemporary emotional culture.
