Authors: Iturrieta Serra Paz Alejandra , Redón Pantoja Silvia María
Published: January 2025

El presente artículo expone los resultados de una investigación de procesos metodológicos y fundamentos teóricos que permitieron la construcción y la validación de un cuestionario sobre los estilos de gestión del liderazgo de directores en educación para la ciudadanía en las comunidades escolares a partir de la percepción de los docentes. El itinerario de este artículo comienza con la denición de los tipos de liderazgo educativo y las categorías conceptuales que subyacen al denso y complejo constructo de ciudadanía y democracia en la escuela. La relevancia por contar con un instrumento que mida e identique un mapa de tendencias respecto del vínculo entre tipos de liderazgo y percepciones docentes de la democracia y la ciudadanía en la escuela son ejes fundamentales para la toma de decisiones en la política educativa y para hacer de la educación ciudadana una realidad en la vida escolar.
Necesidad de estrategias motivacionales para la orientación vocacional en bachillerato
Authors: Carrera Bolaños Amanda Lorena , Delgado Mendoza Hishochy
Published: January 2025

La labor de orientación vocacional en bachillerato presenta insuficiencias. Es frecuente encontrar que los estudiantes no cuenten con elementos suficientes para realizar una correcta elección de carrera. Esto tiene consecuencias negativas a nivel individual y social. Se realizó una investigación cualitativa y cuantitativa, con el objetivo de caracterizar el perfil de los estudiantes de tercer año de bachillerato de la Unidad Educativa Sarance según la orientación vocacional recibida para elegir carrera, detectar las principales insuficiencias de este trabajo en relación con el uso de estrategias motivacionales y evaluar la aplicación de las mismas en las actividades de orientación y así determinar los aspectos que se requiere fortalecer para lograr un mejor resultado de su labor. Se aplicaron encuestas a los 46 estudiantes del año, se realizaron entrevistas a los 2 orientadores que trabajan con ellos y se observaron actividades de orientación, que fueron evaluadas utilizando una ficha áulica. Los resultados indicaron que existe desconocimiento en los orientadores de las estrategias de motivación, su aplicación es insuficiente, alcanzando un indicador de 2,9 en escala de Likert. Los estudiantes consideraron que la orientación vocacional no les ha ayudado lo suficiente para elegir carrera.
Reflexiones para una educación emancipadora desde nuestro sur: el aporte del kimeltuwün
Authors: Alvarez Osses Ingrid Adriana
Published: January 2025

El presente artículo tiene por objetivo problematizar el discurso y los aportes de intelectuales mapuche ante la política pública intercultural y el multiculturalismo neoliberal. Siguiendo los procedimientos metodológicos de la hermenéutica crítica propuesta por Ricoeur, que exige relacionar los acontecimientos con el texto que los contiene, y a este con su contexto, el artículo comienza asumiendo que en América Latina el colonialismo y la modernidad estructuran un orden racial multidimensional: epistemológico, social, político, económico, etc. En este contexto, la filosofía latinoamericana afirma la existencia de un sujeto que ha tenido la capacidad de negar esa dominación para irrumpir en la historia. Se argumenta que este sujeto, desde esa racialidad y con sentido creador a partir de su cultura y política, posibilita la crítica y la resistencia ante los desafíos de raza y clase impuestos en América Latina por la distinción entre civilización y barbarie propia del colonialismo capitalista. A partir de este planteamiento se analiza el debate entre intelectuales mapuche en torno al carácter formativo del kimeltuwün reflexionando sobre su relación con los acontecimientos del sistema escolar chileno. Se concluye que las vivencias experimentadas en ambos tipos de educación posibilitan la constitución de subjetividades y de prácticas políticas con gran potencial emancipatorio y en antagonismo al eurocentrismo, el capital y la racialización en territorio mapuche.
Interfaces entre los Principios Pedagógicos de la Educación Rural y la Investigación Temática Freireana
Authors: Glaumoreno Glaucia Sousa Moreno
Published: January 2025

En este artículo analizaremos los principios pedagógicos que constituyen la Licenciatura en Educación Rural, en su estrecha relación con los movimientos sociales, la diversidad de sujetos, individuales y colectivos, y su interfaz con la propuesta didáctica pedagógica de la investigación temática de Freire. En primer lugar, presentaremos la intención formativa del curso de Educación Rural desde su origen hasta su expansión consolidada a través de políticas públicas, producto de la conquista de los movimientos sociales organizados. Luego, presentaremos los principios pedagógicos que orientan el curso y la perspectiva teórica que envuelve la investigación temática. Por tanto, esta investigación es de carácter cualitativo, basada en una investigación bibliográfica y documental, teniendo entre sus fuentes libros, artículos y decretos. Como resultado, tenemos que la interfaz entre la Educación Rural y la Investigación Temática se da a través de la alternancia pedagógica, una combinación de tiempos y espacios formativos que permite la investigación de la realidad, y se configura como uno de los principios pedagógicos de la Licenciatura en Educación Rural.

Lo anterior permite concluir que las prácticas socioeducativas del voluntariado que trabaja por la reinserción social postpenitenciaria logran generar procesos de alfabetización de tipo tradicional y crítico en un grupo de primo-delincuentes, lo cual permite dotarlos de habilidades para incorporarse de nueva cuenta a la vida social.
Pedagogía Crítica y Ciencia Ficción: un análisis de Fahrenheit 451
Authors: Muñoz Díaz Alfonso
Published: January 2025

El objetivo de este trabajo fue identificar y señalar el potencial que tiene la literatura de ciencia ficción como una herramienta de reflexión centrada en la problematización en torno a los posibles escenarios distópicos y la imaginación de un mundo inédito viable al que aspira la pedagogía crítica por medio de un análisis de contenido de la novela Fahrenheit 451. Se seleccionaron algunos segmentos de la obra y se interpretaron como alegorías verosímiles sobre la materialización de la opresión y como ejemplos narrativos para la reflexión sobre la necesidad de luchar contra esta desde el punto de vista de la pedagogía crítica. Se concluye que el contenido de la obra refleja el resultado especulativo de la distopía como opresión, que puede ser abordada como una narrativa problematizadora y subversiva ante las injusticias sociales que sirva como punto de partida para la imaginación de su contraparte utópica. Finalmente, tomando como ejemplo este trabajo, se concluye que el género de la ciencia ficción puede representar una herramienta narrativa útil en la lucha contra las distopías.
La escuela que no es
Authors: Pla Sebastián
Published: January 2025

Este trabajo ofrece una discusión sobre las actuales circunstancias que envuelven la categoría ‘escuela’ y las repercusiones que conlleva –para este tiempo/espacio educativo– la crisis derivada de la pandemia de Coronavirus y la consiguiente postpandemia. El contexto en el que se enmarca el análisis es el de la escuela latinoamericana y la posición del autor es, a la vez, de observador y observado, es decir, ubicándose desde dentro del fenómeno social estudiado y vivido. Las preguntas que rondan estas discusiones son ¿qué tipo de escuela es la “escuela pandémica? y, a su vez, ¿qué de esta “escuela pandémica” definitivamente nos aleja de lo que hemos entendido por escuela hasta ahora? El texto cierra con un conjunto de reflexiones que permitan afrontar la crisis postpandemia abordando los peligros que conlleva la permanencia de los elementos más institucionales de la escuela y el debilitamiento de sus simbolismos emancipatorios.

Authors: Liu Bo , Perfilieva Natalia Vladimirovna
Published: January 2025

The article is devoted to identifying common patterns of rhizomatic news headlines in Russian and Chinese leading online media. The subject of the study is the rhizomatic nature of digital media news headlines, which is manifested in the complex interrelationships of texts in cyberspace. The material is the headlines of international news from leading Russian and Chinese digital media for 2024. The scientific novelty is determined by the fact that for the first time an attempt has been made to conduct a comparative study on the main manifestations of the rhizomatic nature of news headlines in Russian and Chinese leading digital media. Being an announcement and hyperlink of an Online media news article, complex digital headline texts receive typical rhizomatic characteristics such as: interconnectedness, heterogeneity, multiplicity, nonlinearity, openness, dynamism, the status of which is not clearly defined. Their analysis determines the relevance of the study.  The research methods combine the classification of linguistic units, linguistic description, functional and semantic analysis, and comparison to identify common rhizomatic properties of news headlines from leading Russian and Chinese online media. The results of the study show that rhizomaticity is characteristic of the international news headlines of Russian and Chinese leading digital media. An analysis of the complex of news headlines in Russian and Chinese digital media based on 6 main characteristics of the rhizome showed that rhizomatic relationships are found in news headline texts, which exhibit the following properties: citation, hypertextuality, intertextuality, precedent, heterogeneity, multidimensionality, multiplicity, discreteness, fragmentation, out-of-structure, nonlinearity, deterritorialization, reterritorialization, decentralization openness and dynamism. The obtained research results can be the basis for further research in this field, and used in the practice of teaching university courses in relevant disciplines.

HIV Testing, Household and Reproductive Health Decision-Making: The Role of Women Autonomy in a Nationally Representative Study in Cambodia
Authors: Myint Wah Wah , Yusuf Aishatu , Nguyen Angela , Samman Elfreda
Published: January 2025

Background and Objective

Women’s autonomy plays a critical role in decision-making of health service use. This study aims to evaluate the relationship between Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) testing and decision-making autonomy among Cambodian women aged 15–49.

Methods

We used data from the 2021–2022 Cambodia Demographic and Health Survey (DHS) and our sample consisted of currently married/cohabiting women aged 15–49 (N = 13,755). The outcome variable was “ever been tested for HIV.” Covariates were household decision-making and reproductive health decision-making scores, socio-demographic characteristics (age, place of residency, education, wealth quintiles, and employment status), and HIV knowledge (HIV self-test kits, drugs to prevent HIV in babies during pregnancy, antiretroviral [ARV] drugs, and pre-exposure prophylaxis).

Results

Sixty-one percent of studied women reported ever being tested for HIV. The logistic regression results revealed that women with a higher household decision-making score (aOR = 2.09, p < 0.001), reproductive health decision-making score (aOR = 1.72, p < 0.001), from 25 to 29 age groups (aOR = 2.21, p < 0.001), with a higher education (aOR = 1.96, p = 0.001), from the richest groups (aOR = 1.73, p < 0.001), had knowledge of HIV test kits but never get tested (aOR = 1.38, p = 0.035), heard of drugs to avoid HIV transmission to babies during pregnancy (aOR = 1.21, p < 0.001), and heard of ARV drugs (aOR = 1.28, p < 0.001) were more likely to get tested for HIV than their counterparts. Women living in rural areas (aOR = 0.56, p < 0.001) and those who had discriminatory attitudes (aOR = 0.76, p = < 0.001) were less likely to get HIV tests than those in urban areas and those without discrimination.

Conclusion and Global Health Implications

Findings revealed that greater autonomy is important for health care use, particularly HIV testing for women in Cambodia.
The role of lung ultrasound in the diagnosis of respiratory distress syndrome in preterm neonates
Authors: Moolimani Lakkavva Rangappa , Kale Omkar , Koraddi Girish
Published: January 2025

Objectives:

Respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) poses a significant challenge in neonatal care. This study evaluates the efficacy of lung ultrasound (LUS) in diagnosing RDS in preterm neonates at a tertiary care teaching hospital neonatal intensive care unit.

Material and Methods:

An 18-month observational study enrolled 200 preterm neonates with respiratory distress. LUS was performed bedside by a single expert. Data included demographic details, maternal history, clinical parameters and outcomes.

Results:

LUS showed high sensitivity and specificity for diagnosing RDS, surpassing chest X-rays. Specific features such as bilateral white lung and B-lines correlated with RDS severity. LUS emerges as a non-invasive, cost-effective and radiation-free tool for RDS diagnosis. It outperforms traditional imaging modalities in detecting RDS-related complications.

Conclusion:

LUS is a valuable adjunct in diagnosing and monitoring RDS in preterm neonates, offering real-time assessment and guiding interventions.

Drawing up a geo-ecological map of environmental protection measures
Authors:   Moscow State University of Geodesy and Cartography, Napolov О. B. , Kulakov А. P. ,   Sergeev Institute of Environmental Geoscience RAS
Published: January 2025

Drawing up a geo-ecological map is a very complex and highly relevant action when taking environmental protection measures to reduce the technogenic effect on the environment nowadays. The geo-ecological map is a universal and systematized cartographic object with a set of map icons with the most rational level of information generalization. In general, a geo-ecological map is a set of cartographic information with a certain scale and symbols of the geo-ecological situation, which are the basis for the development of environmental protection measures in any territory. The key element of the geo-ecological map is an objective reflection of the state of the environment taking into account data on the sources and processes of technogenic effect. The paper presents the basic requirements for compiling a geo-ecological map. A legend to the geo-ecological map with conventional cartographic signs used to map processes and the degree of environmental stress is compiled. In the process of developing environmental protection solutions, it is necessary to take into account the degree of man-made stress and the environment’s potential for self-recovering, taking into account the natural resource potential.
Eco-efficiency as the basis for sustainability development of the region

The article examines issues of sustainable development of regions from the perspective of ensuring environmental efficiency and environmental well-being. Approaches to studying the relationship between economic growth and environmental impact are presented. Simple models for diagnosing the impact of a growing economy on the environment, including the environmental efficiency of the regional economy, are proposed. The author’s research methodology is based on the environmental load coefficient, which is calculated as the volume of impact on the environment per unit of gross regional product equal to the value equivalent of a fixed set of consumer goods and services. The environmental efficiency indicator is based on the inverse of the environmental load coefficient and reflects changes in the environmental friendliness of the economy relative to the base period. Studying the dynamics of environmental load makes it possible to assess the environmental efficiency of the economy, including from the standpoint of decaplin.
Using the author’s methodology, the work diagnoses the environmental efficiency of the economies of the regions of the Volga Federal District in 2010–2021 using the example of air pollution. In general, there is an increase in environmental efficiency and environmental well-being, but the situation among the subjects is heterogeneous and varies by different types of pollution and by region. In some cases, environmental factors have deteriorated. An analysis of environmental efficiency for the Kirov region is presented in more detail. It has been established that the region is one of the three leaders in the anti-rating of environmental efficiency of the economies of the constituent entities of the Volga Federal District regarding emissions of solid substances, nitrogen oxide and carbon monoxide into the atmospheric air. In general, a conclusion is made about the low environmental efficiency of the economy of the Kirov region.
Graffiti, Street Art and Murals in the Age of the Neoliberal City
Authors: Abram Sandi
Published: January 2025

The article explores graffiti, street art, and murals in the context of the neoliberal city, highlighting the transformation of these forms in the context of growing urban commodification, touristification and gentrification. The paper shows how contemporary neoliberal urbanism has driven the concept of the creative city that, in the framework of late-capitalist inter-urban rivalry, recuperated graffiti, street art and murals. Drawing on the growing body of literature in the field of graffiti and street art studies, and combining it with urban anthropology, the analysis of ethnographic material collected in Ljubljana (Slovenia) illuminates the role of graffiti and contemporary street art in the context of the neoliberal city – both as anti-gentrification politics and pro-gentrification policies. The paper argues for a nuanced understanding of the role of graffiti, street art and murals under the neoliberal regime of urban development, emphasizing the multi-layered nature of graffiti and street art: as a form of political activism, as an object of commodification, and as an instrument for de-ideologization, or what the author calls the muralization of capital.
The Beginnings and Developments of Higher Education in Kosovo
Authors: Rahimi Sefedin
Published: January 2025

With a particular focus on higher education between 1960 and 1970, this theoretical research aims to elaborate and shed light on the educational developments in Kosovo over the XXth century. The study aims to address every issue raised by the subject without neglecting its chronological aspect. The development of higher education in Kosovo has been examined, debated, and discussed in light of the political, economic, and social changes that occurred in Kosovo during this time period, as well as how those changes affected the development of higher education.
The current study deals with two main issues in the history of higher education in Kosovo: the first, "Pedagogical and professional schools in Kosovo, 1960-1970"; and the second, "The opening of faculties in Prishtina, as a branch of the University of Belgrade, 1960-1970". It deals with the factors and reasons for the opening of the first faculties in Prishtina; the development and consolidation of the Faculty of Philosophy in 1960; the Faculty of Law and Economics in 1961; the Faculty of Technology in 1965; and the Faculty of Medicine in 1969.
This study was prepared and written using a scientific methodology, largely employing archive sources, the historical press in Albanian and other languages, as well as selected historiographical and pedagogical literature, etc. During the scientific research, based on numerous sources, an effort was made to research, elaborate, analyze, and reach the most accurate conclusions about the development and role of higher education in Kosovo during the 1960-1970 period.
Planned To Be Reclaimed:
Authors: Leveratto Jacopo
Published: January 2025

Several contemporary studies on public space focus on its loss, in relation to an increase in people’s disengagement fromthese types of spaces. Since the 1960s, a considerable part of urban culture has attempted to develop strategies for peopleto re-appropriate public space and to ‘inhabit the city again.’ This has defined a line of research that, although now consolidated,is still little known in its complexity. In the effort to create a unified framework for the different attempts through whicharchitecture has historically responded to the rise of spontaneous forms of urban creativity, this paper outlines a short historyof design strategies aimed at enabling and encouraging different forms of spatial appropriation. It also highlights a gradualshift from prescriptive and repeatable rules to site-specific approaches, prompting a new disciplinary convergence betweenurban planning and design, interior architecture, industrial design and public art.
“…and I want to paint it black!?”
Authors: Akkermann Antje
Published: January 2025

This working paper will unfold the methodological design of the PhD research project, Behind The Murals – A Participative Webdocu on the Motivations and the Reclamations of Street Art, with a focus on the incident when BLU repainted his murals at Berlin’s Cuvrybrache completely black. In contrast to BLU’s strategy – to erase his art so that it can no longer be made profitable by the investor of the lot or even by Berlin’s city marketing – I aim to investigate what other strategies against the reclamation of street art are imaginable. The main methodological question is, how is it possible to carry out this research in such a way that its results support the communities (potentially) affected by gentrification/touristification to gain a voice? The experimental methods of participatory video and digital storytelling will be applied with the target of producing a participative webdocu accompanied by a locally exhibited video installation.
Street art conservation
Authors: Gayo Elena García
Published: January 2025

There is a need to create a documentation system adapted to facilitate the conservation and restoration of Street Art and Graffiti. Even though they are ephemeral manifestations of art, there have been some signs of the need for preservation mechanisms that would respect their own special features. For selected works we must establish a procedure that enables their preservation with the highest guarantee.
Street Artist:
Authors: Lousa Teresa
Published: January 2025

It is the goal of this paper to aesthetically rethink Street Art’s artistic process and question its narrative in urban and public space. We intend to highlight the anonymity, ephemeral, and transitory element as a key feature of its artistic creation. To this end, we will use as a starting point the relationship between the street artist and Baudelaire’s flanêur, to reach Foucault’s point of view, which somehow finds the key to the street artist’s aesthetic features, synthesized in the understanding of Baudelaire’s modernity, understood not as a mere historical period, but rather as an “attitude.”
The visual and social indeterminacy of pixação:
Authors: Juarez Benjamin
Published: January 2025

The visual perceptions of most citizens on pixação have changed in recent years. I tackle the ways in which these inscriptions, São Paulo’s (SP) signature, have remained both omnipresent and unreadable by the majority. The law has attacked unplanned interventions ignoring differences among several styles of expression. 2008 marks a starting point in the process of a germinating definition of pixação (also pixo) with visibility for its social protagonists, and with its corresponding corporeal negotiations –with a high point in Berlin’s Biennial 2012. The above permits an analysis of potentialities: social, material, visual and conceptual. The general social lack of understanding that surrounds pixação allows for an exploration at both the expressive and impressive levels. These considerations aim to ponder these interventions as the search of these still massively unheard citizens to express their legitimate traces.
The elusive nature of critical codes:
Authors: Kramer Ronald
Published: January 2025

This paper engages two ideas put forth by sociologists who are interested in the arts and who have returned to questions of meaning. Amongst such scholars, cultural producers are construed as able to connect with “codes” to create critical works of art. These are then understood to play a pivotal role in redirecting the cultural value systems that constitute our existential frame of reference. Through an interpretive reading of films based on graffiti writing in New York City, I suggest that the relationship between cultural producers and critical codes is fraught with difficulty. Further, when this relationship breaks down we will encounter cultural objects that are more ideological than critical. I conclude by suggesting that culture may not offer a viable space for the pursuit of progressive politics.
Scrolling down the line
Authors: Hannerz Erik
Published: January 2025

This article discusses using social media, here Instagram, as a point of access in studies on subcultural graffiti, so as to provide an established arena for initiating contact with a variety of participants. Drawing from an ongoing ethnography of Swedish graffiti writers, the approach presented here works to mitigate the often so major hurdle within ethnographic work on subcultural groups: that of access, not only to the field, but also to the diversities and peripheries of that field. Actively exploring diversities and interactions through social media as part of a larger methodological frame opens up an innovative investigation of plural subcultural scripts of what and how and where the subcultural should be, that can then be assessed and explored through other methodological means. As such it also provides the researcher with the means to ground parts of the analysis in how and where the participants themselves present their subcultural activity.
Cultural heritage and the ficto-critical method:
Authors: MacDowall Lachlan
Published: January 2025

Once dubbed “the Bonnie and Clyde of graffiti”, the globe-trotting, train-painting duo of Utah and Ether occupy a central place in contemporary graffiti folklore. Having both served jail time in the US for graffiti offenses, the couple skipped parole and embarked on a long term “probation vacation”, painting subway networks across Europe and Asia. Their exploits were carefully documented through photographs and web videos, including a collaboration with The Grifters, a ground-breaking video series. In 2016, Ether was again arrested and jailed while placing stickers on a Melbourne street. This paper considers the implications of Utah and Ether’s graffiti practice. Using ficto-critical writing techniques, it attempts to fill in the gaps of Utah and Ether’s fantasy life on the run and think through its implications for cultural heritage and graffiti research in a late capitalist world.
Mind the trap:
Authors: Bogerts Lisa
Published: January 2025

Street art is used in political contexts by both powerful players and resistance movements. To understand how images make meaning and are constantly being negotiated between rule and resistance, a visual literacy must be fostered. I have therefore introduced an interdisciplinary methodology for critical visual analysis that allows for the differentiated examination of images in the interplay of rule and resistance and considers the specific features of street art. This analytical framework aims to foster a cross-fertilization between visual culture and political science and more specifically, International Relations.

Design workshop:
Authors: Tsiropinas Paris Xyntarianos
Published: January 2025

Street art, as a global art movement, affects the daily lives of people in towns and cities of our world. Taking that into consideration, this paper reports on the concept of creating a stencil workshop with the goal of painting a stencil - mural (large scale artwork on a vertical surface). This co-design workshop includes some type of Maker technology approached through experiential learning and educational methodologies similar to those used in Design courses, as the ones taught at the Department of Product and Systems Design Engineering of the University of the Aegean. The multidimensional character of street artists is presented in this paper’s introduction and their role as creators is examined under the light of design. The techniques and methods they use can be analyzed as design processes, one of which is the creation of stencils. Specific reference is made to the history of this artistic medium, alongside other ways of transferring a draft from paper or the screen on to the wall. The stencil-mural workshop took place in the city of Hermoupolis, Syros, Greece and was attended by 24 participants, young design students from different semesters, who worked individually or in groups for three days. The final artwork and the individual steps of its production are presented, and the paper concludes with all the results and insights provided by the study of the process and the feedback received from the workshop participants.
The influence of graffiti writing in contemporary typography
Authors: Craveiro Rodrigo Pena Carvalho dos Anjos
Published: January 2025

With the entry into the so-called postmodern era we see significant changes in the paradigm of visual communication in general and design in particular, promoted by new ideas and principles that emerge as, what some call, a reaction to Modernism.It is in this environment that graffiti writing arises, controversial, irreverent and creative, becoming a reference for many graphic designers who adopt its characteristics. The development of graphic editing software has facilitated not only the creation of these new works with a hybrid character, but also the practice of graphic design. Consequently, typography, sharing with graffiti its passionate dedication to letters, also explores new forms and variations by the hands of professional designers and enthusiasts. This research aimed to identify the influence of graffiti on contemporary typography. To this end, we analyzed the work of graphic designers where marks of this influence have been found. These provided us with clues to the understanding of the changes that have occurred in the type design practice and their relationship with graffiti.
Graffiti on trains, photography and Subterráneos
Authors: Abarca Javier
Published: January 2025

When contemporary graffiti first emerged in the New York of the 1970s, the game was about making your name travel around the city by painting it on the sides of subway cars, a particularly visible surface. Original graffiti writers did not need to photograph their works: contact with their audience was direct, and painted cars could circulate for months or even years before the graffiti was removed. In the eighties, many European adolescents, myself among them, began to reproduce this practice, but in our cities, painted cars were rarely allowed to go into circulation.
Unlike the original writers, we did not paint trains to make our names visible. In most cases we knew that the trains would only be seen by the workers who cleaned them. We painted the trains mostly because of tradition, to reproduce a phenomenon that fascinated us. Thus, to prove our accomplishments, we needed to document the pieces after completing them. For European graffiti writers, photography was, from the very beginning, the main medium.
Strategies for creating village identity symbols using street art tactics:
Authors: Piriankov Katarzyna
Published: January 2025

Over the last few years, various projects in the village of Staro Zhelezare have been undertaken aiming to involve and collaborate with the residents in order to directly improve the quality of social life and the image of the depressed neighbourhood. The purpose of the paper is to examine how different strategies of specific bottom-up activities in a public space address various problems in such a small community. Following the Fourth Street Art Festival in Staro Zhelezare, it is clear that the project has proved to be a considerable success in developing a strong visual identity that has helped to shape the image of the village and introduced resilience features. This paper addresses the problem of how to increase awareness of the inexpensive yet relatively accessible possibilities and potential of public spaces in small, economically depressed localities.
The Evolution of Street art and Graffiti in India
Authors: Bhasin Aparajita
Published: January 2025

This working essay attempts to trace the history of art making in the public space in India. This is important for understanding the evolutionary process of the local graffiti and street art culture and the organisation of many street art festivals across the country. This festival structure often leads to a collaboration with various government bodies in order to work within a city or a neighbourhood to create a large scale immersive experience. This essay will try to argue the importance of people in the creation and evaluation of street art while collaborating and negotiating with various government institutions.
Specifics of Periodization in Russian Street Art
Authors: Polsky Anton
Published: January 2025

Although Street Art as a consistent global movement existed from approximately 1998 to 2008, this periodization needs to be updated for the peripheral scenes. As street art is site specific and peripheral by its nature, it needs to be perceived as follows. Not everywhere, especially in comparison to the cities or regions with less developed art institutions and art market, the processes of instrumentalization and co-opting of Street Art by the Creative Сity discourse happens with the same dynamic.

Local text of the city and public art: in search of Post-Soviet identity

The article tells about the experience of interdisciplinary interaction whithin development of the public art program and discribes the method of working with comissioned art in urban environment. Informal knowledge of residents about their city became the basis of the concept of a 5-year public art program in the Russian city of Almetyevsk (Tatarstan). World-famous artists of various genres have been creating public artworks using local folkculture gathered and described by anthropologists and folklorists. Almetyevsk public-art program is the first one on the post-soviet area to use the stories of city residents as a the starting point for representing the national and cultural text. This approach stands out form the Soviet policy of focusing on the main city resource such as oil in Almetyevsk. Thus, the walls and streets of the city should tell the audience the same stories that its inhabitants know. While there are a number of problems with the intersemiotic translation of texts collected by researchers into the language of customers, artists, and then residents. One of the most difficult tasks is to explain authenticity and national and urban specifics to the artists who come from different places, many of them have not been to Tatarstan and even to Russia. In this work, we want to draw attention to the phenomenon that can be called the construction of identity through folklore. The ambiguity of this concept is manifested at different levels. What can be called folklore when we talk about this phenomenon? Is it possible to create urban public art using the local text of the city - folklore images, plots and heroes? This process, which began in Russia in the 2000s and continues today, could be defined as an attempt to make the territory / group competitive and legitimate through reproduction and invention of local and national. Specifying the processes of production of national identity through the appropriation of cultural experience, described by A. Appadurai [Appadurai 1996]1 - one can say that the processes of production of competitive identities are taking place at the local level. One of the indicators of these processes is the search for the “folklore” conducted both in popular culture and in the information space of the city. 2 - A classic example of analysis for A. Appadurai is the British cricket game. Delivered to India, the game was vernacularized and became one of the markers of Indian identity.
Conflicts of Memory
Authors: Sartorti Rosalinde
Published: January 2025

The inscriptions left on the walls of the Reichstag by Red Army soldiers in May 1945 have played a pivotal role in the development of a deeply divided cultural memory, not only between the Soviet Union and post-war Germany (West and East), but also in post-Soviet times and in a reunited Germany.
 
This article follows the changing attitudes towards those graffiti as part of a painful and traumatic past: they serve as a means to revive a heroic part of history on the Soviet side (if only through publication of photographic images in the 1960s); they have suffered from a strong tendency toward social amnesia in post-war West Berlin (cleansing the walls of Red Army graffiti and covering them with panelling); they have triggered a highly contested debate in the Bundestag about their conservation or elimination that was caused by their unexpected resurfacing during the 1990’s reconstruction of the Reichstag; and finally, they form the center of a debate about transforming the leftover graffiti from a site of memory into a site of reconciliation.
The recent construction of a replica of the Reichstag in Moscow, in 2015 – including the graffiti – shows yet another aspect of memory politics – this time in support of a rise in patriotism.
The Past in Public Space.
Authors: Pank Julia Friederike
Published: January 2025

Sites of memories do not always take the form of a memorial or museum – objects placed in the midst of the urban space, like the sculpture “Der Jahrhunderschritt” in a shopping street of Leipzig, Germany, serve just as well (or better) to trigger the memory of past events and relate them by direct encounter to the immediate present. In what ways do encounters with the sculpture serve as a stepping stone for a memory culture which confronts and interrupts the stream of passersby? How does it relate to its surroundings, what are the reactions with which the artwork is met? This article explores the potential of this specific lieu de memoire conceptualized as an urban intervention in bringing the past to the present, analyzing how awareness for the past-present-future continuum is raised in the mundane, yet historically delicate context of Leipzig’s inner city as a shopping street that used to be the site of the Peaceful Revolution of 1989.
The Disappearance/Virtualisation of Graffiti and Street Art
Authors: Brita Tania Di
Published: January 2025

The subject of this essay is the presentation and reflection of curatorial challenges related to the exhibiton of graffiti and street art. The curatorial practices of graffiti and street art has undergone several changes over the past decades: from the streets to the institutionalisation and commercialisation to virtualisation. In particular, the essay is examining curatorial practises in three main areas, the streets, the institutions and finally the augmented and virtual space. Due to the development of ICT and digitalization the possibilities of curating seem countless. However, within these developments there is also a downside. What if all unsanctioned graffiti and street art suddenly have ‘no space’, nor in the virtual nor in the real world, where neoliberal cities desire homogeneity, segregation and 24/7 surveillance? Can unsanctioned art even exist in the virtual reality? Can it still be called ‘unsanctioned’ or ‘illegal’? The possibilities of multiple layers of reality as well as the thread of the disappearance stand very are very close by each other. It is the time to think about where and how which require novel perspectives and appropriate formats on how to reinforce this unique cultural expression in public.
Streetness & Inopinatum: the “sense of the street” and the “unexpected impertinence”.
Authors: Borriello Luca
Published: January 2025

It was December 2003, exactly 16 years ago. That morning, a few of us were at the Circumvesuviana train station in San Giorgio a Cremano, the town the famous Neapolitan actor Massimo Troisi was born in, waiting for something to happen. Kaf and Cyop were amongst the graffiti writers that had been called to paint the walls of that infrastructure, on the side of the unelectrified railway track. We had been told that the local entity managing railway transports had a mind of entrusting its stations to graffiti writers from them to paint them on, since the managers had had enough of the graphic vandalism burdening them. And we went there, spurred by curiosity. In the beginning, we questioned the communications and PR experts of the entity that managed the regional railway transports, as we believed that they did not provide truthful information on the matter. It was usual at the time, and it is usual even nowadays, but the nuisance was more heartfelt, almost as a pretext.
Tagging in Antiquity
Authors: Lohmann Polly
Published: January 2025

The article is based on a paper presented at the international conference “Tag. Name Writing in Public Space” (Berlin 2017) which brought together graffiti specialists and artists. Therefore the contribution aimed at a broader, interdisciplinary audience. The present article analyses ancient “tags”, which form the largest portion of the graffiti found at the site of Pompeii, and discusses methodological problems in dealing with this epigraphic record. Due to the characteristics of Roman onomastics, it is hardly possible to trace individuals in the Pompeian graffiti. The focus therefore is on those rare examples where we can distinguish individuals by attributes or additional names (such as family names / gentilicia) indicated. The article shows that while the basic human desire to leave one’s (individual) mark was omnipresent on the one hand, the ancient tags on the other hand where quite uniform and thereby almost de-individualised.
