This longitudinal qualitative research explores the significance of affects in the lives of children and young people on the streets of Pelotas, Brazil. Affects have not previously been examined in depth in a street context, despite their impact on the experiences and behaviour of street children. Street affects emerge in and through encounters between the human and non-human elements of the urban environment. When a set of affects arise and endure through time, street dwellers may experience them as affective atmospheres and respond in particular ways. They may also try to manipulate affects and to thereby change affective atmospheres, and yet the success of such efforts can never be guaranteed. This article shows that manipulating affect on the streets of Pelotas is a way to obtain and wield power, and that power hierarchies on the streets are partly based on successful affect manipulation. I argue that future geographical research ought to focus on situations in which particular affective atmospheres, such as those characterized by fear, are subject to contestation and challenge
