   Very nice.

   There is a certain locational politics to graffiti that might be explored here. For instance, what kinds of texts are authorized in gender specific zones (thinking men’s room scribblings of course). There is a whole analysis of contemporary gendered discourse that can emerge here from a map of these geo-located texts. What kinds of things are authorized in a space that can justifiably exclude females, for instance, but not queer sexualities?
