“…Geographic, social, and mental factors inextricably affect irregular migrants’ individual life‐worlds (see Gadd, 2019; Hägerstrand, 2009) in terms of relentless change in their spatio‐temporal dimensions. Specifically, physical and digital spaces, social relationships, and mental conditions all have a spatio‐temporal dimension: they materially become part of an individual’s (a body’s) emotions in terms of memories and traumas, present situations and struggles, and future hopes and fears.…”

This article explores how multiple layers of spacetimes overlap and merge in individuals' lives and relationships, transforming, enhancing, and/or hampering their abilities to interact with the environment. Drawing upon content-analysed ethnographic notes, the article investigates the case of irregular migrants in Finland. It shows how their past activities, practices, and relationships, as well as their hopes and fears for the future, materially shape their now-times. The latter change and evolve through a relentless combination of different past and future elements, in multiple, disparate, and often contradictory ways. This article considers how these migrants survive by inventing new activities and practices and building social relationships (with local residents and their own communities) on a daily basis, negotiating disparate elements, such as laws, digital and physical spaces, and work-and health-related issues. In so doing, migrants acquire, in roundabout (non-linear) ways, the knowledge and capacity to deal with their current, stressful conditions. The article shows how a spatio-temporal approach can transform the emotional geographies of irregular migrants by shedding light on how they navigate the disparate and often conflicting elements of their lives, activities, and relationships.

“…For instance, Collin's (2019) work on civic pride and shame in Nottingham, UK, illustrates how emotions, values, and practices can shape new forms of urban identity and resistance. Other examples include affective relations with place among (street) children and how everyday encounters, especially with fear, shape agency, inclusion, difference, contestation, and belonging (Witten et al, 2019; Gadd, 2021).…”

The postapocalypse as a mobilising discourse for climate action operates largely out of anger over experienced and anticipated injustices as well as paradoxical hope that fuses loss and grief with freed-up solidarities in support of liveable futures. However, negotiating this emotional tension can be both draining and isolating. Here, we examine how white settler populations in Western Australia balance grief and hope in places they hold dear and the role emotions such as sadness, worry, disappointment, joy, and pride play in relational place making. Through an innovative in situ and mobile methodology we call Walking Journeys, we trace how participants navigate their climatic-affective atmospheres and make sense of their agency in changing ‘Places of the Heart’. We find evidence for emotional complexities of solastalgia where pessimistic outlooks for the future are wrapped up in prefigurative visions of a better world. By holding the tension between paralysis and restoration, urban and rural residents explore affective co-existence and differential belonging in their homes and the landscapes around them. We highlight the challenge of enfranchising emotions beyond individuals and conclude by endorsing entangled, reflexive, and (re-)generative responsibilities for hopeful postapocalyptic journeying.

“…Young people who are defenseless frequently experience physical and sexual violence from strangers as well as from other young people. In addition, South America is in a terrible situation, with the National Department of Human Rights reporting that 23,927 children in Brazil are living on the streets (Gadd, 2021;Hartmann et al, 2021). Additionally, 23% of children living on the street are between the ages of 12 and 15, and 45% are between the ages of 12 and 15 (Markussen, Veierød, Ursin, & Andersen, 2016).…”

This study is about the experiences of the sexually abused street children in one of the cities in Tanzania. The study makes use of the data from 34 respondents. A questionnaire, in-depth interviews and focus group discussions were used to collect data. The findings show that the sexually abused street children have experienced all types of sexual encounters, with rape and sodomy being the common type of sexual abuse. The maximum number of times an individual child has been sexually abused is 9 times and a minimum is at least once, but many were sexually violated multiple times. Contracting infectious diseases and pains and swelling of the genital are the most prevalent effects. In terms of Perceptions on the sexually abused street children, while the social welfare officers and the nurses are neutral, the police are negative. While the services offered at the police gender desk are somehow satisfactory, the post violence services are not user-friendly, and the community virtually offers no support. When the sexually abused street children presented themselves where they were supposed to get some support, generally they did not receive any sort of help.
