Graffiti as Political Protest in Greece, Italy, Poland, and the United States
Author:
Words of the Prophets treats graffiti as a form of political prophecy. Whether we consider austerity in Thessaloniki, Camorra infiltration in Naples, the fall of Communism in Gdansk, or the rise of gang warfare in Chicago, graffiti is a form of democratic self-expression that dates back to Periclean Athens and the Book of Daniel. Words of the Prophets offers close readings of 400 original photographs taken between 2014 and 2021 in Philadelphia, Venice, Milan, Florence, Syracuse, and Warsaw, alongside literary works by Pawel Huelle, films by Andrezj Wajda, Antonio Capua, and music videos by Natasha Bedingfield and Beyoncé. A third of the book is dedicated to interviews with Krik Kong, Iwona Zajac, Ponchee.193, Jay Pop, Ser, Simoni Fontana, and Mattia Campo Dall’Orto.
Die verstreuten zeitgenössischen Zeugen zur Geschichte der Reichskrise des dritten Jahrhunderts erscheinen erstmals in einer kommentierten Edition mit deutscher Übersetzung und neuer Textgestaltung. Von der ursprünglich reichen Historiographie des dritten Jahrhunderts sind nur geringe Überreste vorhanden. Erkennbar ist, dass die dramatischen Wechselfälle dieser Zeit (Barbareninvasionen, Bürgerkriege, Kriege gegen die Sasaniden an der Ostgrenze) eine an den Prinzipien der klassischen Historiographie geschulte Behandlung fanden. Der Band enthält Zeugnisse und Fragmente folgender Autoren: Asinius Quadratus, Philostratos von Athen, Ephoros von Kyme der Jüngere, Eusebios, Eusebius von Nantes, Onasimos / Onesimus, Nikostratos von Trapezunt. Wegen der Neuentdeckung von Fragmenten des Dexippus Vindobonensis, deren Publikation noch nicht abschließend erfolgt ist, wird Dexippos später gesondert herausgegeben.

Abstract

This article examines graffiti in Naples between 2016 and 2018, arguing for its political importance. My thesis is that erasing graffiti from garbage trucks does not remove the social problems that caused it. Though sometimes seen as an eye-sore by tourists, graffiti offers vital information about the struggles and passions within the city itself. Under Silvio Berlusconi, rubbish became gold, as Camorra member Nunzio Perella stated when arrested in 1992. Three films, Biùtiful cauntri (2007), Gomorrah (2008), and Napoli Jungle (Bagnoli Jungle) (2015) document how toxic waste dumping affected three generations of Italians and continues to be a pervasive problem.
