The Present/Future of Little Italies
Hosted by: Brooklyn College CUNY, Host type:
Brooklyn, New York, United States
URL: http://academic.brooklyn.cuny.edu/soc/semiotics/
This is a web article with photographs in Itlay and the US that discusses Little Italy as a product and source of both social and cultural capital. Although ordinary people in the neighborhood are ultimately at the mercy of distant structural forces, in their naivete they continue to create and modify local spaces allocated to them, and inevitably become part of the urban landscape. Thusly people and spaces become symbols. They come to represent themselves and thereby lose their autonomy. The enclave comes to symbolize its imagined inhabitants and stands for them independent of their residence in it. Localized reproductions of cultural spaces can also be easily commodified. For example, The expropriated cultural capital of the Italian American vernacular such as resistance to diversity and cultural insularity, perhaps even intolerance, becomes a sales point in real estate parlance as a quaint safe neighborhood, with old world charm, and romantically symbolizing the way its used to be.
