Abstract
The so-called neo-anti-Semitism, perceived differently by Italian journalists and lawyers, highlights the problem of identity in a multicultural society at the local level, of understanding the Other and (its) history, of the relationship between the public sphere and the networked society: the Jews, due to their unique history of diaspora, have always brought out the dialectic between the particular and the universal in the eyes of the world. This condition further “stretched” hatred in societies, especially anti-Semitic sentiment combined with conspiracy. Therefore, it is necessary for public institutions to understand and investigate contemporary forms of hate. This article will present part of the results of research that investigated the level of perception of journalists and jurists on the phenomenon of anti-Semitism.
期刊介绍:
Fieldwork in Religion (FIR) is a peer reviewed, interdisciplinary journal seeking engagement between scholars carrying out empirical research in religion. It will consider articles from established scholars and research students. The purpose of Fieldwork in Religion is to promote critical investigation into all aspects of the empirical study of contemporary religion. The journal is interdisciplinary in that it is not limited to the fields of anthropology and ethnography. Fieldwork in Religion seeks to promote empirical study of religion in all disciplines: religious studies, anthropology, ethnography, sociology, psychology, folklore, or cultural studies. A further important aim of Fieldwork in Religion is to encourage the discussion of methodology in fieldwork either through discrete articles on issues of methodology or by publishing fieldwork case studies that include methodological challenges and the impact of methodology on the results of empirical research.
