{"product_id":"radical-communications-michael-tsangaris-9781793608567","title":"Radical Communications: Rebellious Expressions on Urban Walls","description":"\u003cp\u003eRadical Communications explores unauthorized messages we see in the cities we live in and their impact on the construction of social reality. Michael Tsangaris treats the city as a text and examines the political slogans, graffiti, and street art of Athens as complex visual signs in an alternative communication system. He argues that the legitimacy, aesthetic value, and social acceptability of these expressions depend on the time, place, and social group or individual that interprets them. Finally, his analysis reveals the contradictory character of the contemporary city. It shows a city of social inequalities, cultural diversity, multinational encounters; of conflicts between age groups and political, economic, and epidemic crises; a city of one-dimensional thinking, apathy, and consumer fetishism but also a city that aspires to the dream of a better society and holds utopian promise.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Michael Tsangaris\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1793608563\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781793608567\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Lexington Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/08\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 182\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.91lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.44d","brand":"Michael Tsangaris","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43945245278463,"sku":"9781793608567","price":100.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_61c4cbaa-1124-42a2-8752-01bd67cad1f5.jpg?v=1681507628","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/radical-communications-michael-tsangaris-9781793608567","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
