Italian and Italian American Identity: A Visual Approach

This essay is a brief exploration of the related concepts of Italian Ethnicity and Italian Ethnic Identity via a Visual Sociological study of two geographically different venues — Italian American neighbourhoods in the United States and neighbourhoods in Rome, Italy. By studying the Vernacular Landscape (Jackson, 1984) via the methods of Visual Sociology (Grady, 1996 and Harper, 1988, Rieger, 1996), and the theoretical perspectives of Urbanization of Capital (Harvey, 1989) and Spatial Semeiotics (Gottdiener, 1994) the question: “What does it mean for mean for a place of a space to ‘Look Italian’?” is addressed. For data, the discourse draws from my extensive collection of visual studies in both the United States and Italy of the “Public Realms”, or spaces accessible to all (Lofland, 1998 ). Here are featured my observations and photographic research on the “New Immigrants to Rome”

Journalisten und ihre "Experten"

In der Wirtschaftsberichterstattung werden dem Leser in verschiedenster Form eine Vielzahl von Experten präsentiert. So kommentieren z.B. Unternehmensberater die aktuelle Wirtschaftspolitik, Aktienanalysten lassen sich in Geschichten zu Unternehmen zitieren, oder Mitarbeiter von Verbraucherschutzorganisationen geben Ratschläge zu Rente und Vorsorge. Doch was macht diese Personen aus; wer sind sie? Und warum kommen ausgerechnet sie zur Sprache und nicht jemand anderes? In dieser Arbeit sollte das Zusammenspiel von Wirtschaftsredakteuren und Experten näher beleuchtet werden. Im ersten Teil wurde versucht, mithilfe von Weischenbergs Zwiebelmodell verschiedene Einflussgrößen auf journalistisches Handeln, die für die Erklärung der Journalisten-Experten-Beziehung brauchbar erschienen, aufzuzeigen. In der anschließenden empirischen Untersuchung wurden Leitfadeninterviews mit Wirtschaftsredakteuren aus verschiedenen Tageszeitungen und Magazinen geführt. Im Ergebnis liefert die Arbeit u.a. zu folgenden Fragen erste Erkenntnisse: Warum arbeiten Wirtschaftsjournalisten mit Experten zusammen? Welches sind die Kriterien, entlang derer Wirtschaftsjournalisten Expertentum definieren? Wie recherchieren Wirtschaftsjournalisten als Experten infrage kommende Personen? Nach welchen Kriterien wählen die Wirtschaftsjournalisten final aus den recherchierten Personen Experten für die Zwecke ihrer Berichterstattung aus? Wie findet eine Zusammenarbeit von Experte und Wirtschaftsjournalist Ausdruck in der Berichterstattung
