While it is evident that the act of street art in South American cities is often interlinked with social movements and can be seen as an act of resistance in its own right, the extent of its ability to promote change or generate support for ideas is unclear. Whereas many view the act as solely aesthetical change, it is unknown whether it achieves something greater. With support for viewing street art as a means of protest established, it is interesting to assess its validity as an agent for change in comparison to more traditional forms of protest. Change in this respect can be looked at in a variety of ways, in line with the scope of traditional social movement theory. It is thus important to analyse how far street art goes in this sense, looking at it from both the point of view of the artist, the viewer and society in general. In particular I would be interested in identifying typologies of street art in relation to their impact on collective identity and their effectiveness in promoting change

虽然很明显，南美城市的街头艺术行为经常与社会运动联系在一起，并且可以被视为一种自身权利的抵抗行为，但其促进变革或为思想提供支持的能力程度尚不清楚。尽管许多人认为这一行为仅仅是美学上的改变，但它是否取得了更大的成就却不得而知。随着人们对将街头艺术视为一种抗议手段的支持得到确立，与更传统的抗议形式相比，评估其作为变革媒介的有效性是很有趣的。这方面的变化可以从多种角度来看待，符合传统社会运动理论的范围。因此，从艺术家、观众和整个社会的角度来分析街头艺术在这个意义上走了多远是很重要的。我特别感兴趣的是识别街头艺术的类型学，它们对集体身份的影响以及它们在促进变革方面的有效性
