The growing understanding of graffiti as a perennial, universal phenomenon is spurring holistic consideration of this mode of graphic expression across time and space. Graffiti Scratched, Scrawled, Sprayed: Towards a Cross-Cultural Understanding complements recent efforts to showcase the diversity in creation, reception, and curation of graffiti around the globe, throughout history and up to the present day. reflecting on methodology, concepts, and terminology as well as spatial, social, and historical contexts of graffiti, the book's fourteen chapters cover ancient Egypt, Rome, Northern Arabia, Persia, India, and the Maya; medieval Eastern Mediterranean, Turfan, and Dunhuang; and contemporary Tanzania, Brazil, China, and Germany. As a whole, the collection provides a comprehensive toolkit for newcomers to the field of graffiti studies and appeals to specialists interested in viewing these materials in a cross-cultural perspective. 606 $aLITERARY CRITICISM / General$2bisacsh 610 $aEpigraphy. 610 $aarchaeology. 610 $ahistory of writing. 610 $asocial history. 615 7$aLITERARY CRITICISM / General. 702 $aMascia$b Leah, $4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aOsthof$b Ann Lauren, $4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aRatzke$b Malena, $4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $a?krabal$b Ond?ej, $4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996565570503316 996 $aGraffiti Scratched, Scrawled, Sprayed$93602693 997 $aUNISA
