Fame... Public v. Private Space...advertising and marketing? Space as a commodity...

Macdonald (2001) Ethnographic study of UK and NYC graff writers Looks at “structure” of graff subculture using the “career” concept Financial reward is translated into symbolic capital: FAME, recognition, status, respect Subcultural capital? Graff as work and lifestyle Driven by competition to get up Graff name and style as brand or logo

Macdonald Cont'd Style is central (don't bite!) Trains as moving screens Reclaiming corporate spaces The more dangerous, the more respect CAREER: 1. Make a name 2. Be recognized 3. Retire (most subcultural capital; paid dues) 4. Go legal and “halls of fame”

Style Wars (1983) PBS documentary, dir. Tony Silver with Henry Chalfant An “opera” on graff writing, but also dance and rapping NO mention of DJing (shame on you!) Graff as inter-racial, inter-class, inter-turf, etc. Subcultural capital v. Economic capital Art v. Crime; CAP; Writers v. System Dialectical in this sense

Upski “Style is the process to an appealing end” Reinvent your own style Content: name, originality Location: maximize public visibility, bomb suburbs/rich, tags/throwups never over pieces Process: cleverness, risk, use of space... “Who is my audience and how can I possibly move them?”
