Produktbeschreibung

Graffiti and Street Art: Reading, Writing and Representing the City is an original and timely collection of the ways graffiti and street art infiltrate, inscribe and transform the aesthetics and politics of urban realities. It offers context-sensitive case studies from the UK, USA, Canada, Australia, Spain, Greece, Cyprus, Russia and Brazil, among others, grounded in different social, cultural and urban settings in order to highlight how this global phenomenon is localised and how local practices contribute to the perpetuation of the global scene.
