This theoretically and empirically grounded book uses case studies
of political graffiti in the post-socialist Balkans and Central
Europe to explore the use of graffiti as a subversive political
media. Despite the increasing global digitisation, graffiti remains
widespread and popular, providing with a few words or images a
vivid visual indication of cultural conditions, social dynamics and
power structures in a society, and provoking a variety of
reactions. Using qualitative and quantitative methods, as well as
detailed interdisciplinary analyses of "patriotic," extreme-right,
soccer-fan, nostalgic, and chauvinist graffiti and street art, it
looks at why and by whom graffiti is used as political media and
to/against whom it is directed. The book theorises discussions of
political graffiti and street art to show different methodological
approaches from four perspectives: context, author, the work
itself, and audience. It will be of interest to the growing body of
literature focussing on (sub)cultural studies in the contemporary
Balkans, transitology, visual cultural studies, art theory,
anthropology, sociology, and studies of radical politics.
