Book Discussion | Political Scientist Shares Her New Book, Post-Soviet Graffiti
Enjoy a talk by Assistant Professor of Political Science at the United States Naval Academy Alexis Lerner about his new book, Post-Soviet Graffiti. Moderated by Timothy Frye. Post-Soviet Graffiti is an empirically grounded ethnographic study of how graffiti and street art can be used as a political tool to circumvent censorship, express grievances, and control public discourse, particularly in authoritarian states. For more than a decade, Lerner combed the alleyways, underpasses, and public squares of cities once under communist rule, from Berlin in the west to Vladivostok in the east, recording thousands of cases of critical and satirical political street art and cataloging these artworks linguistically and thematically across space and time. Complemented by first-hand interviews with leading artists, activists, and politicians from across the region, Post-Soviet Graffiti provides theoretical reflection on public space as a site for political action, a semiotic reading of signs and symbols, and street art as a form of text.
