Ms Bernanke鈥檚 study examined the interrelational dynamics of the journalistic and visual arts fields as demonstrated through New Zealand mainstream media鈥檚 arts journalism. Her focus was the case of the domestic media鈥檚 coverage of the artist collective et al., this country鈥檚 representative at the 2005 Venice Biennale international art exhibition. She used Bourdieu鈥檚 field theory as the primary analytical framework and drew on a range of methodologies, including content analysis, surveys, critical discourse analysis, and conversation analysis. Results show how journalism鈥檚 power is reproduced through symbolic violence legitimated by journalistic practice. It was also found that the field鈥檚 increasingly commercial (or heteronomous) concerns constrain other fields, in this case the visual arts field. This study is the first in-depth application of field theory to an interrelational analysis of the journalistic and visual arts fields and the first to extensively analyse interfield relations in the New Zealand context.
