The rise of legal graffiti writing in New York and beyond
Kramer, Ronald.

The rise of legal graffiti writing in New York and beyond[electronic resource] /by Ronald Kramer. - Singapore :Springer Singapore :2017. - xiii, 160 p. :ill., digital ;24 cm.

Introduction -- The extraction of subway graffiti: The late 1960s to 1989 -- The "clean train" era: Creating a space for the legal production of graffiti -- Responding to the new graffiti writing culture: Broader publics, art worlds, and the sphere of commodity exchange -- The moral panic over graffiti in New York City: Political elites and the mass print media -- Engendering desire for neoliberal penality and the logic of growth machines -- Conclusion.

This pivot analyzes the historical emergence of legal graffiti and how it has led to a new ethos among writers. Examining how contemporary graffiti writing has been brought into new relationships with major social institutions, it explores the contemporary dynamics between graffiti, society, the art world and social media, paying particular attention to how New York City's political elite has reacted to graffiti. Despite its major structural transformation, officials in New York continue to construe graffiti writing culture as a monolithic, criminal enterprise, a harbinger of economic and civic collapse. This basic paradox - persistent state opposition to legal forms of graffiti that continue to gain social acceptance - is found in many other major cities throughout the globe, especially those that have embraced neoliberal forms of governance. The author accounts for the cultural conflicts that graffiti consistently engenders by theorizing the political and economic advantages that elites secure by endorsing strong 'anti-graffiti' positions. Dr Ronald Kramer is a Senior Lecturer in Criminology and Sociology at the University of Auckland, New Zealand.
