Signs of the Times: Discourse Ecologies and Street Life on Oxford St., Accra
ATO QUAYSON

What happens when we stop seeing streets merely as geographical locations and rather interpret them as archives? What if, in focusing on an African street such as Oxford Street in Accra, we interpret this archive not as static, but as providing a transcript of dynamic transformations of discourse ecologies? In this article, the author examines cultural inscriptions in the form of billboard and mobile advertising on the street to learn more about the social history and modern culture of this African urban environment.
