The Huyssen quotes are from the introduction to his most recent book "Other Cities, Other Worlds: Urban Imaginaries in a Globalizing Age" (http://www.amazon.com/Other-Cities-Worlds-Imaginaries-Globalizing/dp/0822342715/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1252546602&sr=8-1).

That is, the transient, functional language of construction and reconstruction. To me, graffiti, stenciling, and stickers are not true ‘markup’ as there is very little structure to them as a whole. Yes, they extend and express the urban canvas, but they are a visual, not structured, language. http://www.flickr.com/groups/urbanmarkup/ http://www.wired.com/wired/archive/12.09/start.html?pg=9 Just thought you might like to take a peek.
