The varied structure of the topics with fascinating large-format photographs shows examples from Paris, Lisbon, Rome, Singapore, Vienna, Turin, São Paulo... and other places, and brings together works by numerous artists.The artists use different stylistic devices to convey their messages. More and more international festivals are emerging as promoters of street art. Pars pro toto, the book presents the ‘Calle Libre’ festival, which has been taking place in Vienna since 2014. Inspiring images familiarise the reader with the world's largest gallery. Informative and scrutinising texts are combined with quotes and excerpts from interviews. The book encourages readers to see street art from a new perspective and to discover cities in new, less familiar ways.  Text in English and German.

Examines proposals for freshman composition's abolition and reform while providing a new model for courses."…readers of LiCS will find a strong argument for how understandings of literacy are fundamental to the work that compositionists do, making this book useful not only to those doing similar work but also to be shared with colleagues who have less familiarity with literacy studies. The Lure of Literacy presents a model of how theories of literacy can be applied to the debates that beset compositionists again and again, offering a way out of their unproductive cycles." - Literacy in CompositionThe Lure of Literacy promises to transcend the stale and unproductive debate on freshman composition that has gripped English studies for more than a century. It is the first book to chart the origin of the discussion from the early twentieth century to the advent of the New Literacy Studies. Michael Harker recontextualizes proposals to abolish compulsory composition and reimagines pedagogical conditions in English studies in order to present a different model for first-year writing. This new model for compulsory composition programs focuses on students' attitudes about composition and interrogates the very idea of literacy itself.
