News stories about three prominent Italian nanoscientists are examined to explore how Italy and other countries involved in nanotechnology development are represented in the Italian media. The paper discusses the importance of these “geographical imaginaries” as symbolic and rhetorical resources for the journalists and the scientists that are pictured in the news to discursively shape what nanotechnology, its international development, and its relevance for Italy is all about.

Abstract
News stories about three prominent Italian nanoscientists are examined to explore how Italy and other countries involved in nanotechnology development are represented in the Italian media. The paper discusses the importance of these “geographical imaginaries” as symbolic and rhetorical resources for the journalists and the scientists that are pictured in the news to discursively shape what nanotechnology, its international development, and its relevance for Italy is all about.Pubblicazioni consigliate
