How is it that the US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) commemorates graffiti as a symbol of Western optimism and hopefulness, while the City of Stockholm describes the same phenomenon as crime and a sign of insecurity and social problems?

Graffiti is a multifaceted and complex phenomenon that can be understood in many ways - as one of the world's greatest contemporary art movements, and as a slum-damaging act, as an adventurous bus strike and as an organized crime. The dissertation takes different contradictory understandings seriously - accepts them as logically incompatible but assumes that they are interdependent on an overall level of significance.

Based on four specific contexts - such as the graffiti of the Berlin Wall during the Cold War and the zero-tolerance 1990s in Stockholm - the dissertation examines how institutions and other social interests acted to directly or indirectly influence the understanding of graffiti as art, as crime and as a broader socio-cultural phenomenon.
