Abstract   Comments regarding Swedish graffiti writer NUG’s film Territorial Pissing (2008) express how graffiti and art appear to be two different worlds and when these worlds come together the expression of graffiti seems to transform. This thesis, Graffiti at stake: a qualitative study, via NUG, about the autonomy in graffiti, aims to both examine and bring about a general discussion on whether graffiti is autonomous when it enters the art world. The thesis also discusses transformed content and expression in the works of NUG when performed in a different context; what is exhibited in an institutional art context and what positions does NUG occupy? The French sociologist Pierre Bourdieus conceptions field and autonomy has been used as a theoretical framework, and partly as method as well. By studying the works of NUG another expression has been found within an institutional art context – black irrational lines and cascades. These are interpreted as energy generated from the act of performing graffiti and have been discussed in relation to the graffiti- and art practice as well as the symbolic capital. The thesis argues that the autonomy is situated in what is recognized and acknowledged. The thesis also concludes that NUG is entering into a masculine, conventional and strong artist position, similar to Pollock. / Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning   Uppsatsen, Graffiti på spel: en kvalitativ undersökning, via NUG, om graffitins autonomi, tar avstamp i kommentarer rörande den svenska graffitiutövaren NUG:s videoverk Territorial Pissing (2008). Kommentarer som uttrycker att graffiti och konst tycks vara två separata världar och när dessa världar möts tycks uttrycket i graffiti inte vara detsamma – är det graffiti? Om graffiti är autonomt när det inträder i konstens fält är en generell diskussion som denna uppsats lämnar ett bidrag till. NUG har en magisterexamen i konst och tillhör de största namnen på Sveriges och Europas graffitiscener. Inom en konstinstitutionell kontext har ett annat uttryck, än de traditionella graffitibokstäverna, kunnat konstateras; irrationella streck och kaskader av svart sprayfärg. De förstås som energi, alstrad från akten att måla graffiti, samt framstår som en nödvändighet. Uppsatsen diskuterar en graffitipraktik och dess relation till konstfältet. I konstens fält står graffiti på spel och autonomin hamnar i det som igenkännes och erkännes. Detta är också en uppsats om hur NUG går från en manlig utövarposition, in till en manlig, konventionell och stark konstnärsposition, i förening med Pollock, samt hur NUG har en fot i ”graffitins fält” respektive en fot i konstens fält och hur han manövrerar dessa fält.

Graffiti is a game in which heroic courage and great tension are applied. It is an unusual and risky activity beyond the law, associated with dangerous and illegal intrusion into the secured areas of the underground metro system or climbing the roofs of buildings and high walls. All this means for the writer to write his name on the wall and reap the recognition of his colleagues from the subculture for it. The work looks at graffiti from the perspective of their representatives. Its aim is to answer the question whether the writer's motives to remain in the graffiti subculture change over time, how the writers perceive the sanctions of their surroundings, and whether the sanctions of the institutions affect the end of the writer's career. Data collection will take place through semi-structured interviews with respondents from the graffiti environment, participatory observation and qualitative content analysis of printed materials and websites, used for the exchange of information, especially between active members of the subculture. Keywords Graffiti, subculture, art, vandalism, subcultural career, criminal liability, social sanctions Title The End of Writer's Career: Urban Folklore Which Breaks the Law.

Gewaltvorfälle (körperliche oder verbale Übergriffe sowie Vandalismus) stellen ein Problem von wachsender Relevanz für Krankenhäuser dar. Notaufnahmen melden dabei die häufigsten Probleme hinsichtlich Vandalismus bzw. Übergriffen. Diese stellen für das hohen Stress ausgesetzte Krankenhauspersonal eine erhebliche zusätzliche Belastung dar. Daher setzen Krankenhäuser entsprechende Maßnahmen zum Umgang mit oder der Prävention von Übergriffen durch Patient:innen um. Dabei finden architektonische (bauliche und technische) Maßnahmen am häufigsten Anwendung. Im Rahmen dieser Arbeit sollen die architektonischen Maßnahmen zur Prävention und zum Umgang mit Übergriffen hinsichtlich ihrer Umsetzung und Wirksamkeit analysiert und Handlungsempfehlungen gegeben werden. Dafür wurde eine Online-Umfrage von Klinikpersonal in Notaufnahmen durchgeführt. Im Ergebnis zeigte sich, dass übergriffige Verhaltensweisen gegenüber Mitarbeitenden in der Notaufnahme zunehmen. Die Umsetzung architektonischer Maßnahmen kann einen wichtigen Beitrag zur Verbesserung der Situation leisten. Ein umfassender kombinierter Einsatz architektonischer Maßnahmen findet allerdings noch nicht flächendeckend statt und es werden weitere (z. B. architektonische) Maßnahmen in Notaufnahmen erforderlich.

Therefore, we analyze the situation from a vision of segment representatives that are part of the Public Power and representatives that are part of the user population of the School Council. We also analyze the relation that user and local community establish with a municipal school of kindergarten and elementary school, located in Santo André outskirts, metropolitan region of São Paulo. We also have analyzed the possible repercussions of school violence in the curriculum of this school in question. To realize this study, we chose a qualitative approach, through documental analysis and semi-structured interviews that were applied to the School Council representatives, from researched municipal school. For documentary analysis, we used five Pedagogical Political Projects developed by the school community in the period between 2010 and 2014. The research intended to indicate possibilities of violence confrontation against the school, observed in periods that building are not used in teaching activities, from the perspective of school counselors, and in a light of some consolidated theoretical aspects of the phenomenon of violence and school curriculum. The challenges of building a curriculum that dialogues with the real problems, checking the possibility of school overcoming violence situation, manifested through vandalism and pillaging are numerous. However, it is a possible path to be trodden in an articulated form between the power public and civil society, seeking the construction of a school founded on the principle of education social quality, from access and permanence of the subjects and the democratic management of education. It was intended, with this study, offer clues to support schools in increasing their careers searching educational activities that minimize and eliminate vandalism scenes and depredation of public property from the stage of their recent histories / O presente trabalho apresenta uma análise das situações de violência praticadas contra a escola, e identifica como as ações manifestam-se no cotidiano e são abordadas no currículo escolar. Para tanto, são verificadas as situações, a partir do olhar dos representantes dos segmentos que compõem o poder público e a população usuária do Conselho de Escola, e das relações que as comunidades usuária e local estabelecem com uma escola municipal de educação infantil e ensino fundamental localizada na periferia de Santo André, Região Metropolitana de São Paulo. Analisam-se, ainda, as possíveis repercussões da violência no currículo da escola em questão. Para este estudo, optou-se por uma abordagem qualitativa, que utilizou a análise documental e entrevistas semiestruturadas, aplicadas aos representantes do Conselho de Escola da unidade pesquisada. Para análise documental, foram utilizados cinco Projetos Políticos Pedagógicos elaborados pela comunidade escolar no período de 2010 a 2014. A pesquisa pretendeu indicar possibilidades de enfrentamento da violência praticada contra a escola, observada nos períodos em que o prédio não é utilizado em atividades letivas, sob a ótica dos conselheiros escolares e à luz de algumas vertentes teóricas consolidadas sobre o fenômeno da violência e do currículo escolar. São inúmeros os desafios para a construção de um currículo que dialogue com os problemas reais com vistas às possibilidades de superação das situações de violência à escola, manifestadas por meio de vandalismo e depredação, mas é um caminho possível de ser trilhado de forma articulada entre poder público e sociedade civil, de forma a construir uma escola alicerçada nos princípios da qualidade social da educação, de acesso e permanência dos sujeitos e da gestão democrática da educação. Pretendeu-se, com o estudo, oferecer pistas para que outros equipamentos escolares possam construir suas trajetórias com ações educativas que minimizem e eliminem cenas de vandalismo e depredação do patrimônio público do palco de suas histórias recentes

It is not an everyday event for an artwork in a museum or gallery to be harmed deliberately by a member of the public. Such acts of iconoclasm do occur more regularly than many people might assume though, and when attacks take place the repercussions can be serious. This thesis examines the ways in which cultural institutions react to this phenomenon, investigating how responses could be improved to tackle it more effectively. The first chapter establishes the context to the discussion by categorising and rationalising the various motives behind iconoclastic crimes. The next chapter concentrates on historical trends of response, using the case of the suffragette iconoclasts to illuminate reactions from across society, before assessing the effects of their endurance. The third chapter broaches new ground in the field of prevention by exploring the access and education approach: a means of forestalling destructive compulsions among the public by promoting engagement with cultural institutions and works of art. The fourth chapter looks at security enhancement: the more traditional answer to iconoclastic offences. It evaluates the options open to museums from a defensive standpoint, but it also discusses the wider impact of implementation on accessibility. The final chapter presents the findings of a postal survey of 250 British museums and galleries undertaken in 2006. The purpose of the survey was to gauge the current nature and extent of the problem, and to determine how contemporary museum professionals deal with it. Although some cultural institutions respond to iconoclasm with considered, sustainable and effective tactics, others would be wise to revise their conduct. This thesis concludes that while instances of iconoclasm will never be eradicated from galleries completely, the threat could be curbed significantly if the museum sector was to make a concerted effort to study its own responses and introduce necessary changes.

Archaeological sites in the New World are the fragile and non-renewable remains of cultures which flourished for thousands of years prior to European contact and displacement. Sites which escape the effects of erosion and development often fall victim to vandalism. Cultural resources, including rock art and other archaeological sites, are protected by state and federal laws which prohibit the removal or disturbance of the sites, whether from development or from vandalism. Vandalism is frequently seen as a problem for law enforcement rather than a problem for cultural resource management. Management plans which include cultural resource protection provisions and guidelines often focus on threats to cultural resources from development, and omit planning which targets vandalism. The rock art sites of the Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area ("Scenic Area") have been affected by developments such as The Dalles Dam and by the vandalism. In this study, the nature and degree of vandalism to the rock art sites in the Scenic Area is considered in the context of public awareness of, and access to, these sites. Rock art sites which are easily located and which have been the focus of public awareness are hypothesized to be the most severely vandalized. To test this hypothesis, fifteen of the 44 rock art sites in the Scenic Area were selected for study, and were assessed for kind and degree of vandalism, and means and ease of access. The results of analysis yielded two statistically significant associations of variables which support the hypothesis: an association between vandalism and public awareness of sites, and an association between vandalism and the primary means of access. The analysis suggests that public awareness is one of the most important issues which land managers must address when designing cultural resource protection plans.

This dissertation aims to develop an ethical system that can properly frame such questions as the morality of large-scale efforts to transform inanimate parts of nature, for example, proposals to terraform Mars. Such an ethics diverges from traditional approaches to ethics because it expands the class of entities regarded as morally considerable to include inanimate entities. I approach the task by building on the environmental ethical theory of Paul W. Taylor, as developed in his 1986 book Respect for Nature: A Theory of Environmental Ethics. I discuss various criticisms of Taylor and propose two extensions to his theory: an expansion of the scope of moral considerability to include all concrete material objects and the introduction of the concept of variable moral significance (the notion that all entities have inherent worth but some have more than others). Using Taylor’s modified and extended theory as a foundation, I develop something I call universal ethics. This is an ethical framework whose key elements are a fundamental ethical attitude of respect for the world and a principle of minimal harm. Universal ethics regards all concrete material entities, whether living or not, and whether natural or artefactual, as inherently valuable, and therefore as entitled to the respect of moral agents. I offer a defence of this ethical framework and discuss a number of practical applications, including criticism of proposals for the terraforming of Mars. I conclude that terraforming Mars or any other celestial body at this point in our history would be morally wrong. I also suggest that universal ethics provides an ethical foundation for efforts to protect Antarctica, and that it has implications for our relations to other inanimate parts of our world, including artefacts.
