Methodologies for Graffiti and Street Art Research

By: Tolonen, Jonna

This book explores theoretical approaches, methods, and practices for executing graffiti and street art research.

The book provides insight into the methods around an exponentially growing area within visual studies. Graffiti and street art research has been criticised for utilising methods developed in other scientific fields, without discussing or justifying if the selected methods are adequate, or whether there is a need for creating a proper methodology of its own. This collection offers an opportunity for an international discussion to engage various research paradigms, questions and contexts with critical examination. A range of international and varied contributors present a range of research topics across graffiti and street art, while breaking down their thinking, research processes and research choices by analysing each step of their research.

This is an ideal book for upper-level undergraduates, postgraduates and researchers undertaking research into topics in graffiti and street art.
