Originally based on fieldwork with dairy breeders in the Italian Alps, the notion of ""skilled vision"" elaborates on the fact that visual apprenticeship is a form of relational and situated learning. Skilled visions proliferate, both in professional communities of practice and in everyday socialization. For example, strategies of collective self-representation rely on forms of naturalized social classification. After introducing the notion of Skilled Visions, I will provide current examples from the Italian-American community of Boston, analyzing social networks imagery and self-stereotyping (""Christmas in August"", 2013, with F. De Musso).
