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 PSCCUNY Faculty Research Awards, Kosciuszko Foundation, Polish Ministry of National Education, Murray Koppelman Foundation, J.

{"title":"From social integration to social emplacement: perspectives from Italian rural areas","authors":"Melissa Moralli, Pierluigi Musarò, Paola Parmiggiani","doi":"10.1080/03906701.2023.2259061","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/03906701.2023.2259061","url":null,"abstract":"ABSTRACTThis contribution presents the results of a qualitative research conducted on migrant settlement in rural Italy. It proposes moving beyond the concept of social integration to explore the potential of social emplacement of asylum seekers and refugees in non-urban areas. From this point of view, the results will be presented in the light of four analytical categories. The first is that of the influences of the specificities of Italian rural contexts on social emplacement processes. The second concerns the important issue of choice concerning migration paths in relation to non-urban areas. The third investigates the creation of social capital and the potentialities and limits observed in rural contexts. Finally, the contribution looks at the possibilities of access to services and forms of housing.KEYWORDS: Social emplacementsocial integrationmigrant settlementrural areasrefugees Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Notes1 The European Rural Vision 2040 is a long-term vision for the EU’s non-urban areas up to 2040 that identifies areas of action towards stronger, connected, resilient and prosperous rural communities: https://rural-vision.europa.eu/index_en, last accessed on 05/01/2022.2 https://whole-comm.eu/, last accessed on 02/01/2023.3 https://matilde-migration.eu/, last accessed on 02/01/2023.4 https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/statistics-explained/index.php?title=Ageing_Europe_-_statistics_on_population_developments#Older_people_.E2.80.94_population_overview, last accessed on 06/01/2023.5 The Italian reception system is divided into first (extraordinary) and second (ordinary) reception. The first reception centers, called ‘Centri di Accoglienza Straordinaria’ [Extraordinary reception centers] (CAS), are placed under the responsibility of prefectures. The centres of the second level of reception (Systems of Reception and Integration – SAI) can be activated voluntarily by local authorities and in collaboration with the third sector to implement integrated reception projects. They refer to two levels of reception: the first level, accessed by asylum seekers, provides for material reception services, health, social and psychological assistance, linguistic-cultural mediation; the second level, accessed by holders of international protection, also includes job orientation and vocational training.6 https://www.welcomingspaces.eu/, last accessed on 06/09/2023.7 Bonding social capital refers to relations within a group or community that share similar characteristics (social class, age, gender, religion, etc.) whereas bridging social capital is between social groups and individuals with different characteristics.8 A ‘sanatoria’ is the legitimisation by the Italian authorities of an irregular state of affairs or an abnormal situation.

Cartoons, thus, are products of the jokes and comic wit that are endemic in everyday life. Because most humor is evanescent, social scientists have not accorded the comic the full attention it deserves, conceiving it as merely a response to social forces – a type of situational adjustment – rather than acknowledging it as a social force in its own right produced by unconscious psychological dynamics that alert people to those aspects of the world, which invite attention and foster anxiety. Cartoons, therefore, are of value to social scientists not only as records of what large audiences in modern societies have found amusing at a given point in time, but also provide insight into various situations in mass society that create anxiety, and how people imagine defining and managing that anxiety.KEYWORDS: Cartoonscomedypictures as social indicatorsvisual sociologyvisual studies Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Notes1 One of the best accounts of this process of change is Vaclav Smil Creating the Twentieth Century (Citation2005); also instructive is Grady ‘Imagining the City as Home: Functional Prerequisites and Moral Challenges’ (Citation2023).2 One of the clearest documentations of editorial censorship are a series of books publishing selected cartoons by major artists that were rejected by The New Yorker (Diffee, Citation2006, Citation2007, Citation2022).3 While the ‘y-axis’ clearly represents a timeline, Tufte has chosen some odd labeling for the other two axes in his graph, which has diminished its utility among his many admirers. Stories are, by definition, based on utterances that combine at the very least a subject (noun) with an action (verb). If each line is defined as a story, asserting that every point in every line so represented, includes both a noun and verb is a tautology. In fact, the very same graph would be more useful – and the metaphor more compelling – if the ‘x-axis’ represented a communicator, and the ‘z-axis’ a place in the world, whether defined locally, regionally, nationally or in some other fashion. In this way, it would move from being a conceit, to something closer to a model of how communication occurs in everyday life.4 Gregory Bateson is discussed in Norrick (Citation1993) on pages 142–144.Additional informationNotes on contributorsJohn GradyJohn Grady is Emeritus Professor of Sociology at Wheaton College (Norton, Massachusetts).

This article seeks to specify how a collective identity is constructed and sustained on the basis of the emotional bonds that the members of the group grow to the place. Drawing on the basic tenets of symbolic interactionism, the article argues that in order to function as the foundation of a group identity, a place needs to be perceived as a meaningful object of particular value. Furthermore, the article argues that the meaningfulness of the place occurs through the articulation of a narrative of uniqueness, that, drawing on the bulk of shared place-related life experiences, celebrates the special character of the place in question and shores up its unique meaning and value.","PeriodicalId":46079,"journal":{"name":"International Review of Sociology-Revue Internationale de Sociologie","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135014566","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
