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.\"\u003cbr\u003e   - 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, \u003ci\u003eMetagraffiti\u003c\/i\u003e is a critical contribution to the field.\" - Rafael Schacter (author of Monumental Graffiti: Tracing Public Art and Resistance in the City)\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eFocusing on graffiti scenes from SÃo Paulo and Santiago in Chile, this innovative visual ethnography examines diverse forms of self-reference and metareference that appear in Latin American graffiti art. Chandra Morrison Ariyo works across multiple scales of contemporary graffiti production-from tags to massive murals-to show how painting the city enables individuals to reimagine their own position within the material and social structures around them. \u003ci\u003eMetagraffitti \u003c\/i\u003ereveals how practitioners such as Tinho, OSGEMEOS, Grin, and Bisy use metagraffiti features to influence public perceptions about this art form and its effect on the urban environment. Ultimately, \u003ci\u003eMetagraffiti\u003c\/i\u003e proposes a novel conceptual framework that highlights graffiti’s ability to forge alternative forms of movement, sociality, and value within Latin American cityscapes. These urban images invite us to imagine what the city could be, when seen as a site for action and imagination.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eChapter 1: Metagraffiti: Envisioning a Concept\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 2: Urban Image: Painting (in) the Latin American City\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 3: Signature Wordplay: Self-Naming, Misspelling, and Rewriting the Social Order\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 4: Figurative Threat: Stigma Embodiment and Graffiti's Violent Characterization\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 5: Reflective Structures: On Murals and Mirroring in the Spatial Imagination\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 6: Painting Pollution: Cleaning the City and Recycling Social Values with Street Art\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 7: Graffiti Intimacies: Seeing the City in Color\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 1  METAGRAFFITI\u003cbr\u003e Envisioning a Concept  1\u003cbr\u003e 2  URBAN IMAGE\u003cbr\u003e Painting (in) the Latin American City  23\u003cbr\u003e 3  SIGNATURE WORDPLAY\u003cbr\u003e Self-naming, Mis-spelling, and Re-writing the Social Order  67\u003cbr\u003e 4  F FIGURATIVE THREAT\u003cbr\u003e Stigma Embodiment and Graffiti’\u003cbr\u003es Violent Characterization  93\u003cbr\u003e 5  REFLECTIVE STRUCTURES\u003cbr\u003e On Murals and Mirroring in the Spatial Imagination  125\u003cbr\u003e 6  PAINTING POLLUTION\u003cbr\u003e Cleaning the City and Recycling Social Values with Street Art  153\u003cbr\u003e 7  GRAFFITI INTIMACIES\u003cbr\u003e Seeing the City in Color 175\u003cbr\u003e Acknowledgments 183\u003cbr\u003e Notes 187\u003cbr\u003e References 191\u003cbr\u003e Index 000\u003cbr\u003e  \u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Rutgers University Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52640474071320,"sku":"9781978834415","price":74.59,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/metagraffiti-graffiti-art-and-the-urban-image-in-latin-america-hardback-9781978834415","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
