Street Art and Democracy in Latin America: Studies of the Americas

Autor Olivier Dabène
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 2 oct 2020
This book explores street art’s contributions to democracy in Latin America through a comparative study of five cities: Bogota (Colombia), São Paulo (Brazil), Valparaiso (Chile), Oaxaca (Mexico) and Havana (Cuba). The author argues that when artists invade public space for the sake of disseminating rage, claims or statements, they behave as urban citizens who try to raise public awareness, nurture public debates and hold authorities accountable. Street art also reveals how public space is governed. When local authorities try to contain, regulate or repress public space invasions, they can achieve their goals democratically if they dialogue with the artists and try to reach a consensus inspired by a conception of the city as a commons. Under specific conditions, the book argues, street level democracy and collaborative governance can overlap, prompting a democratization of democracy.

Textul de pe ultima copertă

“This book is a striking example of the ‘cultural turn’ that has gained momentum as more orthodox approaches to the study of democracy have displayed their limitations. Olivier Dabène demonstrates convincingly that this is a buoyant, widespread and influential counterpart to the sub-continent’s more recognized outlets of political-cum-artistic expression. These innovations are particularly vivid and provocative in the five Latin American cities he has studied. The author brings to life an impressive range of talented young street artists, and helps the reader to appreciate both their distinctive histories and their collective interactions.”

Caracteristici

Studies the articulation/interactions between the appropriation of public space and (various forms of) collaborative governance Satisfies the need to understand the proliferation of public space invasions by street artists, and the way the authorities react Provides a fairly optimistic view of grassroots democracy in Latin America, contrasting with the abundant literature on the crisis of representative democracy
