Abstract
Street art as a source of knowledge about contemporary societies – a proposal of a research method and its verification The article’s main aim is to present and verify the research approach that can be implemented in street art research in the field of social communication and media science. By focusing analysis on four dimensions – space (where), temporality (when), representation (who) and message (what), it is possible to obtain comprehensive knowledge about key social actors, propagated ideas, postulates and values, and to delineate the main dividing lines, points of reference, icons and symbolic characters. We treat street art as a form of socio-political commentary at the local level, urban space as a channel, and individual manifestations of street art as a medium of communication. The methodological proposal’s usefulness will be verified based on a corpus of 195 photos showing various forms of street art created during the protests in Chile, taken by the Authors in December 2019.
