| acab graffiti: Conflict Graffiti John Lennon, 2022-03-17 Graffiti is by nature a protean art. In movies, it is often the backdrop used to create a sense of danger and lawlessness. In bathroom stalls, it is the disembodied expression of gossip, lewdness, or confession. In protests, it is a resistive tool, visually displaying the cacophony of disparate voices and interests that come together to make up a movement. Every graffito has an unstable afterlife-fated to be added to, transformed, overlaid, photographed, reinterpreted, or painted over. In short, as this book artfully explains, graffiti makes for messy politics. It brings the unwieldiness of the crises it engages to the fore, giving shape to a conflict's evolving nature. The book closely examines the many permutations of graffiti in conflict zones-moving from the protest graffiti of the Black Lives Matter movement in Ferguson and the Arab Spring in Egypt to the tourist attraction murals on the Israeli Separation Wall, to the street art used for city rebranding and beautification in Detroit and post-Katrina New Orleans. Graffiti has played a crucial role in the revolutionary movements of these locales, but has also been variously appropriated, policed, and exported, ushering in postconflict consumerism, gentrification, militarization, and anaesthetized forgetting. Yet, the book concludes, as protest movements change and adapt in turn, graffiti is also uniquely suited to shapeshift with them, opening up new apertures of resistance with every wave-- |

| acab graffiti: Urban Walls Andrea Mubi Brighenti, Mattias Kärrholm, 2018-09-03 In recent years, an increasing number of separation walls have been built around the world. Walls built in urban areas are particularly striking in that they have exacted a heavy toll in terms of human suffering. As territorialising devices, walls can be protective, but the protection they grant is never straightforward. This collection invites inquiry into the complexities of the social life of walls, observing urban spaces as veritable laboratories of wall-making – places where their consequences become most visible. A study of the relationship between walls and politics, the cultural meaning of walls and their visibility, whether as barriers or as legible – sometimes spectacular – surfaces, and their importance for social processes, Urban Walls shows how walls extend into media spaces, thus drawing a multidimensional geography of separation, connection, control and resistance. As such, the collection will appeal to scholars of sociology, anthropology, geography, architecture and politics with interests in urban studies and social theory. |

| acab graffiti: Wild Failure Zoe Whittall, 2024-08-20 A dazzling debut collection of ten powerful, feminist, and queer short stories from bestselling author Zoe Whittall “Absorbing and wrenchingly intimate, with a rare balance of wit and tenderness.”—Jenny Fran Davis, author of Dykette In Wild Failure, characters encounter feelings of shame, desire, attachment, and disconnection as they find themselves navigating their way through bad decisions, unusual situations, and fraught relationships. In “Oh, El,” a dominant woman can’t stop herself from toying with the tender heart of her co-worker. The title story, “Wild Failure,” is a doomed love story between an agoraphobic and a wilderness hiker. In “Half-Pipe,” a teen girl’s heterosexual ambivalence results in chaos at a skate park. A group of idealistic roommates find themselves the subject of a true crime podcast in “Murder at the Elm Street Collective House.” In “The Sex Castle Lunch Buffet,” a woman reflects on her brief stint at a nineties strip club after she learns of the death of a former client. Wild Failure is replete with Whittall’s perceptive humor and acute insights into human nature. It’s also a dynamic and vibrant collection of poetic fiction that contend with the meaning of desire in a world that devalues femininity and queerness. |
| acab graffiti: The Walls of Santiago Terri Gordon-Zolov, Eric Zolov, 2022-05-05 A photo-illustrated record of Chilean protest art, along with reflections on artistic antecedents, global protest movements, and the long shadow cast by Chile’s authoritarian past. From October 2019 until the COVID-19 lockdown in March 2020, Chile was convulsed by protests and political upheaval, as what began as civil disobedience transformed into a vast resistance movement. Throughout, the most striking aspects of the protests were the murals, graffiti, and other political graphics that became ubiquitous in Chilean cities. Authors Terri Gordon-Zolov and Eric Zolov were in Santiago to witness and document the protests from their very beginning. The book is beautifully illustrated with over 150 photographs taken throughout the protests. Additional photos will be available on the publisher’s website. From the introduction: In the conclusion, we take stock of the crisis of the nation-state in the contemporary era. This chapter brings events into the present moment, noting the ways President Piñera took advantage of the COVID-19 pandemic to reclaim the streets of Santiago, a phenomenon echoed in countries across the globe. While most of the global protest movements were forced to go underground (or into the ether), the Black Lives Matter movement surged in the United States and drew massive amounts of support both domestically and abroad, suggesting a continued wave of grassroots protests. We close with reflections on the continued relevance of walls in a virtual world, the testimonial role that protest graphics play, and the future outlook for revolutionary movements in Chile and worldwide. |

| acab graffiti: Law and Disorder Illan Rua Wall, 2020-12-20 Focusing on the moment when social unrest takes hold of a populace, Law and Disorder offers a new account of sovereignty with an affective theory of public order and protest. In a state of unrest, the affective architecture of the sovereign order begins to crumble. The everyday peace and calm of public space is shattered as sovereign peace is challenged. In response, the state unleashes the full force of its exceptionality, and the violence of public order policing is deployed to restore the affects and atmospheres of habitual social relations. This book is a work of contemporary critical legal theory. It develops an affective theory of sovereign orders by focusing on the government of affective life and popular encounters with sovereignty. The chapters explore public order as a key articulation between sovereignty and government. In particular, policing of public order is exposed as a contemporary mode of exceptionality cast in the fires of colonial subjection. The state of unrest helps us see the ordinary affects of the sovereign order, but it also points to crowds as the essential component in the production of unrest. The atmospheres produced by crowds seep out from the squares and parks of occupation, settling on cities and states. In these new atmospheres, new possibilities of political and social organisation begin to appear. In short, crowds create the affective condition in which the settlement at the heart of the sovereign order can be revisited. This text thus develops a theory of sovereignty which places protest at its heart, and a theory of protest which starts from the affective valence of crowds. This book’s examination of the relationship between sovereignty and protest is of considerable interest to readers in law, politics and cultural studies, as well as to more general readers interested in contemporary forms of political resistance. |
| acab graffiti: Urban Artscapes Manila Castoro, Carolina Vasilikou, 2018-07-06 In recent years, artists, architects, activists and curators, as well as corporations and local governments have addressed the urban space. They challenge its use and destination, and dispute current notions of space, legality, trade and artistry. Emerging art practices challenge old ideas about where art belongs, what forms it can take and what political discourses it fosters. Selected from papers presented at the 2013 Artscapes conference in Canterbury, this collection of new essays explores the dynamic relationship between art and the city. Contributors discuss the everyday artistic use of public space around the world, from sculpture to graffiti to street photography. |

| acab graffiti: Words of the Prophets Jonathan Gross, 2023-05-25 Words of the Prophets treats graffiti as a form of political prophecy. Whether we consider austerity in Thessaloniki, Camorra infiltration in Naples, the fall of Communism in Gdansk, or the rise of gang warfare in Chicago, graffiti is a form of democratic self-expression that dates back to Periclean Athens and the Book of Daniel. Words of the Prophets offers close readings of 400 original photographs taken between 2014 and 2021 in Philadelphia, Venice, Milan, Florence, Syracuse, and Warsaw, alongside literary works by Pawel Huelle, films by Andrezj Wajda, Antonio Capua, and music videos by Natasha Bedingfield and Beyoncé.

| acab graffiti: Rigged Mollie Hemingway, 2021-10-12 FROM THE AUTHOR OF THE #1 NATIONAL BESTSELLER JUSTICE ON TRIAL Stunned by the turbulence of the 2020 election, millions of Americans are asking the forbidden question: what really happened? It was a devastating triple punch. Capping their four-year campaign to destroy the Trump presidency, the media portrayed a Democratic victory as necessary and inevitable. Big Tech, wielding unprecedented powers, vaporized dissent and erased damning reports about the Biden family's corruption. And Democratic operatives, exploiting a public health crisis, shamelessly manipulated the voting process itself. Silenced and subjected, the American people lost their faith in the system. RIGGED is the definitive account of the 2020 election. Based on Mollie Hemingway's exclusive interviews with campaign officials, reporters, Supreme Court justices, and President Trump himself, it exposes the fraud and cynicism behind the Democrats' historic power-grab. Rewriting history is a specialty of the radical left, now in control of America's political and cultural heights. But they will have to contend with the determination, insight, and eloquence of Mollie Hemingway. RIGGED is a reminder for weary patriots that truth is still the most powerful weapon. The stakes for our democracy have never been higher. |
| acab graffiti: Proud to Punish Gilles Gayer, Laurent Gayer, 2024-01-09 A magisterial comparative study, Proud to Punish recenters our understanding of modern punishment through a sweeping analysis of the global phenomenon of rough justice: the use of force to settle accounts and enforce legal and moral norms outside the formal framework of the law. While taking many forms, including vigilantism, lynch mobs, people's courts, and death squads, all seekers of rough justice thrive on the deliberate blurring of lines between law enforcers and troublemakers. Digital networks have provided a profitable arena for vigilantes, who use social media to build a following and publicize their work, as they debase the bodies of the accused for purposes of edification and entertainment. It is this unabashed pride to punish, and the new punitive celebrations that actualize, publicize, and commercialize it, that this book brings into focus. Recounted in lively prose, Proud to Punish is both a global map of rough justice today and an insight into the deeper nature of punishment as a social and political phenomenon. |

| acab graffiti: Graffiti. Kunst, oder Sachbeschädigung nach § 303 StGB? David Schabany, 2019-07-17 Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2019 im Fachbereich Jura - Strafrecht, , Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Die nachstehenden Lehrmaterialien zum Thema „Kunst und Sachbeschädigung“ setzen sich mit dem (potenziellen) Kunstwerk Graffiti auseinander. Die Problemfrage wird anhand einiger repräsentativer Einzelfälle wie der sog. Augsburgblumen, der Friedensbanane und der All Cops-are-bastards-Graffitis (im Folgenden als Akronym A.C.A.B) dargestellt. Ein altes deutsches Sprichwort besagt: „Narrenhände beschmieren Tisch und Wände“. Ob und unter welchen Voraussetzungen sich diese „Narren“ strafrechtlich verantworten müssen, ist sprichwörtlich nicht überliefert und in strafrechtsdogmatischer sowie kriminologischer Hinsicht umstritten. War früher in diesem Kontext das unbefugte Plakatieren von Relevanz, treten heute Graffitis im öffentlichen Raum immer wieder auf. Schon seit Ende der 80er Jahre beschäftigt die Justizbehörden und die Öffentlichkeit das Thema Graffiti. Erst kürzlich im März 2019 haben unbekannte Täter eine Mauer auf einem Schulhof in Trier besprüht. Neben dem aktuellen Bezug schlägt sich das Problem auch in kriminalpolitischer Hinsicht nieder. So ist der Trend der durch Graffiti verursachten Schäden steigend. Die Pressestelle des mittelbayerischen Polizeipräsidiums Oberpfalz bestätigt, dass Sachbeschädigungen durch Graffitis ein regelmäßig auftretendes Phänomen sind. Allerdings sind diese Tendenzen unter Berücksichtigung der aktuellen polizeilichen Kriminalstatistik (im Folgenden PKS) zu betrachten. So geht aus der PKS von 2018 für die Bundesrepublik Deutschland hervor, dass Straftaten gem. § 303 insgesamt im Vergleich zum Vorjahr einen Rückgang der tatverdächtigen Personen von rund 3 % verzeichnen. Zum typischen Täterkreis bei Sachbeschädigungen im Zusammenhang mit Graffitis zählen Jugendliche und Heranwachsende. Dies bestätigt auch die brandenburgische PKS von 2018, welche bei Graffiti-Taten einen hohen Anteil von Tatverdächtigten unter 21 Jahren feststellt. In diesem Deliktsbereich der Graffit-Taten ist im Jahr 2018 allerdings ein Zuwachs von 6 % hinsichtlich der Tatverdächtigten Personen unter 21 Jahre zu verzeichnen. Damit weist das Thema eine nicht unerhebliche praktische Bedeutung auf. |
| acab graffiti: Revolutionary Art and Politics in Egypt Rounwah Adly Riyadh Bseiso, 2023-01-26 This book examines the role of artists in Egypt during the 2011 revolution, when street art from graffiti to political murals became ubiquitous facets of revolutionary spaces. Through interviews, personal testimonies, and accounts of the lived experience of 25 street artists, the book explores the meaning of art in revolutionary political contexts, specifically by focusing on artistic production during 'liminal' moments as the events of the Egyptian revolution unfolded. The author privileges the perspective of the actors themselves to examine the ways that artists reacted to events and conceived of their art as means to further the goals of the revolution. Based on fieldwork conducted in the years since 2011, the book provides a narrative of Egyptian artists' participation in and representations of the revolution, from hopeful beginnings to the subsequent crackdown and election of al-Sisi. |

I was a juvenile offender back in the mid 1970s and went on to become an adult prisoner in the 1980s and beyond. My shortest prison sentence was 7 days (for criminal damage) and my longest sentence was life (for bank robbery and possession of firearms). I have 58 criminal convictions for everything from attempted theft to armed robbery and prison escape, and I was a career criminal for most of my life. What I do not know about criminal and prison slang could be written on the back of a postage stamp and still leave room for The Lord's Prayer ...' From ex-professional bank robber and bestselling author Noel Smith, this is the most authoritative dictionary of criminal slang out there - and an unmissable journey, through words, into the heart of the criminal world. |
| acab graffiti: Dialectical Leftism's Assault on Canada Mavros Whissell, 2024-09-16 Canada is battleground to a Western culture war. The seeds for that contest were sown after Karl Marx published the Manifesto of the Communist Party in 1848. It took just thirty years for that radicalism to cross the Atlantic and invade the New World. Dialectical leftism’s assault on Canada spread like a slow but deadly virus. Before it could be successfully treated, it mutated under subsequent waves of radical ideology. Under its increasing influence, the Canadian state began to realign during the Pierre Elliot Trudeau years. This ideological trajectory was forcefully reinvigorated through Pierre’s eldest son, Justin. Dialectical leftism’s current targets face Neo-Marxist/postmodern accusations of “systemic racism” and “White supremacy.” This woke ideology—the most recent iteration of dialectical leftism—threatens to tear the West apart. How exactly did Canada get to this point? What can we do about it? Find out in the very book you hold! |
| acab graffiti: What’s Killing America Jason Rantz, 2023-09-26 A stunning book about how America’s biggest cities are being destroyed by progressive policies and woke Democrats. Many Americans have no idea how badly our largest, Democrat-run cities have deteriorated. We've been complacent for far too long, assuming that the craziest elements of the radical Left would stay confined to the East and West coasts. But crime, drug addiction, homelessness, left-wing school indoctrination, so-called inclusive housing policies, and outrageous taxes don’t stay within the big city limits of places like Los Angeles, Chicago, Portland, New York, Seattle, and San Francisco. The effects of ideologically driven left-wing policies always spread, which should alarm Americans regardless of their political leanings. Jason Rantz is a prominent radio host, a trusted journalist, and a frequent Fox News guest unafraid to go directly into the action. He’s grown a national following by breaking news the mainstream media won’t, covering the consequences of destructive leftist policies wherever they occur. He was right there for the chaos in his hometown of Seattle when liberal anarchists declared an autonomous, police-free “CHOP Zone.” He infiltrates the Antifa marches and knows firsthand how those radicals operate. This is the shocking story of what he’s learned. Employing on-the-ground reporting and fact-based analysis, Rantz zooms out to conduct a fascinating detailed, data-driven study of how these liberal policies result in chaos, misery, and (too often) bloodshed. He skillfully recounts the tragic events with a narrative reporter's eye for detail to tell the true story of what's happening in America's cities. |

When Andy Ngo was attacked in the streets by Antifa in the summer of 2019, most people assumed it was an isolated incident. But those who'd been following Ngo's reporting in outlets like the New York Post and Quillette knew that the attack was only the latest in a long line of crimes perpetrated by Antifa. In Unmasked, Andy Ngo tells the story of this violent extremist movement from the very beginning. He includes interviews with former followers of the group, people who've been attacked by them, and incorporates stories from his own life.

| acab graffiti: Football Italia Mark Doidge, 2015-05-21 This book is available as open access through the Bloomsbury Open Access programme and is available on www.bloomsburycollections.com. Football has undergone a period of transformation over the last thirty years. Despite these global processes, different national leagues have adapted in different ways. After an initial period of success directly after Italia '90, Italian football has gone through a period of sustained crisis. It has been blighted by financial mismanagement, corruption scandals and fan violence. This has impacted Italy's ability to compete on a global stage. Football Italia accounts for the development of Italian football in relation to the wider global transformations impacting football and addresses the reasons for Serie A's initial success and current malaise. Theoretically, this book locates Italian football within the wider power network of the state and how this has impacted political engagement. After an historical overview of the Italian political economy, Football Italia highlights how football is part of the wider political network. Football clubs are owned by powerful businessmen (and they are all men) who are also politicians. This centralisation of power within a small hegemonic group inhibits change. Within this broader structure, wider corruption scandals continue; from regular match-fixing scandals to doping. Meanwhile, stadiums are crumbling and police over-aggressive. It is within this context that we must place the fans. Both the ultras and supporters who attend official supporters' clubs are disaffected and without the power to change the status quo. Consequently, Italian football has been in decline throughout the 21st century. |

Such comprehensive coverage has not been seen before, and the focus on 21st‐century concerns and media consumption practices provides an innovative and original approach. The Routledge Handbook of Archaeology and the Media in the 21st Century updates the interdisciplinary field of media studies in archaeology and will appeal to students and researchers in multiple fields including contemporary, public, digital, and media archaeology, and heritage studies and management. Television and film producers, writers and presenters of cultural heritage will also benefit from the many entanglements shared here between archaeology and the contemporary media landscape. |
| acab graffiti: Austerity & Democracy in Athens Monia Cappuccini, 2017-10-25 This book, based on an empirical form of narration, outlines a short-medium term analysis of the social impact of austerity politics on urban life.. Set in Exarchia, a radical and anti-authoritarian neighbourhood located within the city centre of Athens, Greece, this is an ethnography examining the social struggles and grassroots mobilizations that emerged locally during the crisis. Based on over two years of fieldwork between November 2012 and early 2014, the author brings together participant observation and a period of research-action in one of Exarchia’s stekia. One particular pedestrian street is used as a case study – ‘Odos Tsamadou’ is located near Exarchia Square and here multiple social centres and political activity converge to allow the neighbourhood’s climate of solidarity and reciprocity to fully emerge. This book is specifically targeted at academics specialized in the social sciences, ethnography, cultural anthropology and urban studies and more generally at anyone interested in contemporary urban and social development.

| acab graffiti: Feral City: On Finding Liberation in Lockdown New York Jeremiah Moss, 2022-10-04 A Vulture Best Memoir of 2022 A Kirkus Best Nonfiction Book of 2022 A Bookforum Favorite Book of 2022 A 2023 Transgender Nonfiction finalist for the Lambda Literary Awards What happens when an entire social class abandons a metropolis? This genre-bending journey through lockdown New York offers an exhilarating, intimate look at a city returned to its rebellious spirit. The pandemic lockdown of 2020 launched an unprecedented urban experiment. Traffic disappeared from the streets. Times Square fell silent. And half a million residents fled the most crowded city in America. In this innovative and thrilling book, author and social critic Jeremiah Moss, hailed as “New York City’s career elegist” (New York Times), explores a city emptied of the dominant class—and their controlling influence. “Plagues have a disinhibiting effect,” Moss writes. “As the normal order is suspended, the repressive force of civilization lifts and our rules fall away, shifting the boundaries of society and psyche.” In public spaces made vibrant by New Yorkers left behind, Moss experienced an uncanny time warp. Biking through deserted Manhattan, he encountered the hustlers, eccentrics, and renegades who had been pressed into silence and invisibility by an oppressive, normative gentrification, now reemerging to reclaim the city. For one wild year the streets belonged to wandering nudists and wheelie bikers, mystical vagabonds and performance artists working to disrupt the status quo, passionate activists protesting for Black lives—along with the everyday New Yorkers who had been pushed to the margins for too long. Participating in a historic explosion of activism, resistance, and spontaneity, from queer BLM marches to exuberant outdoor dance parties, Moss discovered an intoxicating freedom. Without “hyper-normal” people to constrain it, New York became more creative, connected, humane, and joyful than it had been in years. Moss braids this captivating narrative with an account of his renewed sense of place as a transgender man, weaving together insights from psychoanalysis, literature, and queer theory. A kaleidoscopic vision of a city transformed, Feral City offers valuable insight into the way public space and the spaces inside us are controlled and can be set free. |
| acab graffiti: What Just Happened Charles Finch, 2021-11-09 A BOSTON GLOBE BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR • With unwavering humanity and light-footed humor, this intimate account of the interminable year of 2020 offers commentary on the COVID-19 pandemic, protests for racial justice, the U.S. presidential election, and more, all with a miraculous dose of groundedness in head-spinning times. This book is so funny and so true. Charles Finch unpacks a year of plague, fear, shameless venality, and dizzying stupidity with an irrepressible wit and surgically precise cultural observations. I didn't know how badly I needed exactly this. Maybe you do too? —Joe Hill, author of Heart-Shaped Box In March 2020, at the request of the Los Angeles Times, Charles Finch became a reluctant diarist: As California sheltered in place, he began to write daily notes about the odd ambient changes in his own life and in the lives around him. The result is What Just Happened. In a warm, candid, welcoming voice, and in the tradition of Woolf and Orwell, Finch brings us into his own world: taking long evening walks near his home in L.A., listening to music, and keeping virtual connections with friends across the country as they each experience the crisis. And drawing on his remarkable acuity as a cultural critic, he chronicles one endless year with delightful commentary on current events, and the things that distract him from current events: Murakami’s novels, reality television, the Beatles. What Just Happened is a work of empathy and insight, at once of-the-moment and timeless—a gift from one of our culture's most original thinkers. |

| acab graffiti: Gescheiterte Existenzen Askson Vargard, 2022-01-17 Seit der Grundschule kennen die drei Freunde Green, Pink und White einander und leben nach den jugendlichen Jahren der Trennung und des Aufbruchs, die von zahlreichen Bruchlandungen gezeichnet sind, nun in unmittelbarer Umgebung in Leipzig Gohlis - desillusioniert, aber nicht hoffnungslos auf der Schwelle zu einem neuen Flug, aber in welche Richtung? Die kennen sie nämlich genauso wenig, wie sie einander kennen, geschweige denn sich selbst, weswegen der einzige feste Bezugspunkt, ihre Leidenschaft für Filme, am liebsten die von Tarantino, eine Flucht darstellt, die ihnen gemeinsam mit Alkohol die Realität ersetzt. |
| acab graffiti: Firefly Danny Simmons, 2022-07-19 Until now, explosions, lies, and espionage have never been a regular part of his life. Blake Cavanaugh walks through his mundane, ordered life day after predictable day. His career as a human resource employee in a calm, uneventful West Texas CIA office is tidy and safe...that is until he overhears a whisper that draws him into a path of discovery: He is captivated by her name. Has his past caught up with him? As he gets deeper and deeper into the Firefly documents, he is instinctively drawn to the familiar symbols, names, and places that conjure up powerful emotions he can’t shake. Could it be her? He is chased by this mystery across three continents into a secret world that challenges every fiber of his predictable life as he draws upon his untested skills in handling guns and deciphering codes. Driven by the irresistible encounters and haunted by the stinging pain of the past, Blake must face his fears in this new upside-down world of immense obstacles, not the least of which has been hiding inside him his entire life. And when he meets an unlikely ally who knows more than she should, it only uncovers more questions. Will he find the answers, or did he truly lose everything he loved so many years ago? |
