E-grāmata: Metagraffiti: Graffiti Art and the Urban Image in Latin America

"Metagraffiti is beautifully written, conceptually powerful, and empirically nuanced, offering the idea of 'metagraffiti' as a frame to understand the many discourses about graffitis multiple functions, representations, and ongoing evolution in Latin America and the world. This book is an excellent resource for research and teaching around graffiti, the urban image, and forms of voicing. The specificity with which Morrison Ariyo attends to the form, process, and function of graffiti is impressive and will energize future scholarship. I highly recommend this text."   - Caitlin Frances Bruce (author of Voices in Aerosol: Youth Culture, Institutional Attunement, and Graffiti in Urban Mexico) "Chandra Morrison Ariyo's analysis of Latin American graffiti examines the way in which metagraffiti-what she innovatively conceives of as a graffiti about graffiti, a graffiti about graffiti as image, practice, and culture-creates both internal cohesion as much as an external awareness of the implications and potentialities of this image world in itself. Innovative and ethnographically rich, Metagraffiti is a critical contribution to the field." - Rafael Schacter (author of Monumental Graffiti: Tracing Public Art and Resistance in the City)
