Première étude détaillée consacrée à l'histoire d'un art qui se crée dans la rue depuis plus de quarante ans et ne cesse de modifier notre expérience de la ville, Street art et graffiti dresse le portrait de cette pratique artistique. Comprendre le graffiti, sa philosophie, ses techniques et son vocabulaire est d'autant plus essentiel que cet art, fondé sur la clandestinité et l'anonymat, ne s'adresse pas a priori au grand public. Connaître son évolution permet de comprendre en quoi il a ouvert la voie au street art - pratique éminemment protéiforme qui souvent conjugue contestation et poésie et fait désormais partie, comme le graffiti, de l'art de notre temps. Banksy, Blek le Rat, Faile, Invader, Miss Van, Os Gêmeos, Shepard Fairey ou encore Swoon sont quelques-uns des graffeurs et street artists dont les créations sont analysées dans cet ouvrage qui s'adresse à tous les curieux de culture visuelle contemporaine.

Summary:

When Banksy started out painting, the political landscape was bleak. Fortunately now, it’s ten times worse. As Banksy’s cheerfully aggressive political work becomes ever more relevant, this comprehensive tome sets about presenting his art in the context of the era he was responding to.

Summary:
This special issue of Radical History Review historicizes and reconsiders the flaneur - the city stroller - as the iconic bystander to the spectacle of urban life and change, drawing perspectives from urban and public history, museum studies, geography, and sociology. One article analyzes Australian frontier towns, where notions of indigeneity are commodified for white consumers while Aborigines themselves are unwelcome. Another examines the funereal flanerie of protestors in Guatemala who stage scenes of public mourning to engage the radical power of dead bodies in public spaces. Flanerie and drifting are explored as pedagogical tools to draw students out of the controlled settings of college campuses. Contributors to this issue examine the physical experience of city walking - determined by architecture, street signs, traffic lights, and each walker's differently abled body - alongside the subtler class, racial, and historical markers that define who in city spaces is imagined to be respectable and who is dangerous.

Public spaces — where people from all walks of life play, work, meet, talk, read, think, debate, and protest — are vital to a healthy civic life. And, as the eminent scholar of public space Setha Low argues in this book, even fleeting moments of visibility and encounter in these spaces tend to foster a broader worldview and our willingness to accept difference. Yet we are losing public spaces to accelerated urban development and the belief that public spaces are expendable. Low explores why public spaces matter today, how they are at risk, and what we can do about protecting these essential places that support our everyday lives. Finally, she shows how we can work to promote public space protection and expansion at both the grassroots and global levels. Throughout, she focuses on real public spaces and the people who use them in cities and regions across the Americas, from New Jersey to Costa Rica
