Abstract

ABSTRACTAlthough many social scientists employ visual media in their research and teaching, the connection between the ‘visual’ and the ‘social science’ is often tenuous. Photographs often are reserved for illustrating textual concepts, or making standard findings more interesting to readers than the normal textual exposition in tables, pie charts, graphs, or other methods of data visualization. In my research about urban lives and cultures, I have extensively photographed what John Brinckerhoff Jackson called ‘vernacular landscapes.’ Although photojournalists, as well as documentary and street photographers, have also engaged in similar image capturing practices, as opposed to their more aesthetic and artistic accomplishments, I have tried to firmly connect my images to normal social science theories and methods. This visually enhanced essay will describe, discuss, and give examples from my own photographic studies of urban vernacular landscapes over several decades and across the globe. It is hoped that in this autobiographical process, the difference between artistic and scientific photography as to theories of class, globalization, race, and other social issues will be made clearer.KEYWORDS: artphotographysocial scienceurbanvernacular landscape AcknowledgementsSupport for some of the photographic research presented in this essay was provided by the PSC\CUNY Faculty Research Awards, Kosciuszko Foundation, Polish Ministry of National Education, Murray Koppelman Foundation, J.

城市乡土景观:走向普通的视觉教育学
虽然许多社会科学家在他们的研究和教学中使用视觉媒体,但“视觉”和“社会科学”之间的联系往往是脆弱的。照片通常用于说明文本概念,或者使标准发现比表、饼图、图形或其他数据可视化方法中的普通文本说明对读者更有趣。在我对城市生活和文化的研究中,我大量拍摄了约翰·布林克霍夫·杰克逊(John Brinckerhoff Jackson)所说的“乡土景观”。虽然摄影记者、纪实摄影师和街头摄影师也从事类似的图像捕捉实践,而不是他们更多的审美和艺术成就,但我一直试图将我的图像与正常的社会科学理论和方法紧密联系起来。这篇视觉强化的文章将描述、讨论并给出我自己几十年来在全球范围内对城市乡土景观的摄影研究的例子。希望在这个自传式的过程中,艺术摄影与科学摄影在阶级、全球化、种族等社会问题理论上的区别能够更加清晰。致谢本文中提出的部分摄影研究得到了PSC\CUNY教师研究奖、Kosciuszko基金会、波兰国家教育部、Murray Koppelman基金会、J. William Fulbright外交委员会、西澳大利亚大学、意大利罗马拉萨皮恩扎大学和意大利那不勒斯苏尔奥索拉贝南卡萨大学的支持。披露声明作者未报告潜在的利益冲突。其他信息关于投稿人的说明jerome Krase jerome Krase是纽约城市大学布鲁克林学院的荣誉教授和Murray Koppelman教授,他是一位活跃的学者,与公共和私人机构合作研究城市社区问题。他的学士学位来自印第安纳大学,博士学位来自纽约大学。他对全球城市生活和文化进行研究、演讲、摄影和写作。他的著作包括:《城市世界中的民族景观》(2006年),与雷·哈奇森合作编辑;《目睹城市的变化:地方文化和阶级》(2012年);《布鲁克林的种族、阶级和士绅化》(2016年);《地方语境中的多样性》,与兹德内克·乌胡雷克合作编辑(2017年);《意大利美国研究中的阐释现状》,《世界各地的士绅化》,第一卷:士绅化者和流离失所者;《创新方法》,与Judith N.

期刊介绍: International Review of Sociology is the oldest journal in the field of sociology, founded in 1893 by Ren Worms. Now the property of Rome University, its direction has been entrusted to the Faculty of Statistics. This choice is a deliberate one and falls into line with the traditional orientation of the journal as well as of the Institut International de Sociologie. The latter was the world"s first international academic organisation of sociology which started as an association of contributors to International Review of Sociology. Entrusting the journal to the Faculty of Statistics reinforces the view that sociology is not conceived apart from economics, history, demography, anthropology and social psychology.
