Marco Jacquemet
Associate Professor and Program Director: Communication Studies
|
My scholarship focuses on the complex interaction of different languages and communicative practices in a globalized world. My current research seeks to assess the communicative mutations resulting from the intersection in the Mediterranean area between mobile people (migrants, local and international aid workers, missionaries, businessmen, etc.) and electronic texts (content distributed by satellites, local television stations, Internet connectivity, cellular telephony). As part of this research, in the early 1990s I studied the communicative practices of criminal networks in Southern Italy and the emerging Italian cyberculture. In 1994 I conducted fieldwork in Morocco and Italy on migratory patterns between the two countries. Since 1998, I have been involved in multi-site ethnographic fieldwork in Albania and Italy, investigating the linguistic and socio-cultural consequences of Albania's entry into the global system of late-modern capitalism. The longer-term goal of this research is to investigate issues related to globalization, power asymmetry, and social justice through a combination of communicative and cultural analytical tools; and in so doing, establish a new paradigm for the study of the communicative phenomena resulting from cultural globalization.
As for my academic background, I have a doctorate in linguistic anthropology from the University of California, Berkeley. Previously I studied philosophy of language at the University of Bologna and semiotics at the EHESS in Paris. Prior to coming to USF, I taught and did post-doctorate research at Berkeley, UCLA, Stanford University, and Barnard College, Columbia University.
