Re-thinking Mediations of Post-truth Politics and Trust Globality Culture Affect

Re-thinking Mediations of Post-truth Politics and Trust Globality Culture Affect

This collection reaches beyond fake news and propaganda misinformation and charismatic liars to explore the lesser-publicized cultural forms and practices that serve as a cultural infrastructure for post-truth society and politics. Situating post-truth in specific contexts as a site of contestation or crisis the book critically explores it as a dynamic and shifting site around which political and cultural practices in specific contexts revolve and overlap. Through a breadth of perspectives the volume considers a number of overlapping cultural and political developments across varying national and transnational contexts: changing technologies and practices of cultural production that sometimes shift and at other times reproduce authority of traditional institutional truth-tellers; seismic cultural changes in representations values and roles regarding gender sexuality race and historical memory about them as well as corresponding reactionary discourses in the culture wars; questions of authenticity honesty and power relations that combine many of the former shifts within an all-encompassing culture of (self-)promotional attentional capitalism. These considerations lead scholars to focus on corresponding shifting cultural dynamics of popular truth-telling and (dis-)trust-making that inform political culture. In this more global view post-truth becomes foremost an influentially anxious public mood about the struggles to secure or undermine publicly accepted facts. This nuanced and insightful collection will interest scholars and students of communication studies media and cultural studies media ethics journalism media literacy sociology anthropology philosophy and politics. | Re-thinking Mediations of Post-truth Politics and Trust Globality Culture Affect

Mistrust Developmental Cultural and Clinical Realms

Mistrust Developmental Cultural and Clinical Realms

Humans are weak. Lacking the claws and thick skins of other animals we are forced to rely on members of our own species to survive and flourish in the world. The fact that the human infant is born in an utterly helpless state also makes others' protective care necessary. Attachment bonding concern and mutuality thus become cornerstones of human existence. Trust also enters this equation. Originating in the early mother-child relationship trust continues to grow get contextually refined tempered by reality testing and gain nuances throughout the subsequent adult life. Its absence (mistrust) or malformation (distrust) contributes to psychopathology and is responsible for much intrapsychic distress and interpersonal strife. Given its formative significance and it crucial role in the therapeutic process one is surprised by the paucity of psychoanalytic writings specifically devoted to the topic of trust and mistrust. Few if any monographs on trust exist. A collection of essays written specifically for this volume it deals with the ontogenesis psychopathology cultural vicissitudes and technical implications of trust and mistrust. | Mistrust Developmental Cultural and Clinical Realms

Chinese Social Networks in an Age of Digitalization Liquid Guanxi

Chinese Social Networks in an Age of Digitalization Liquid Guanxi

Chinese Social Networks in an Age of Digitalization investigates the impact of digital media on the traditional Chinese model of social interaction trust-building and social capital known as guanxi. Guanxi is a system of cultural and psychological rules of networking that orders every interaction in China from the labor market to politics to business and even law. It is the lifeblood of the nation and nearly just as old. But how has guanxi kept pace with the modern rapids of digitalization? This book is the first to examine how the rise of social networking sites is transforming guanxi in everyday networking in China home to the largest population of users worldwide and nearly universal adoption in the nation. This monograph argues that digitalization is making guanxi liquid: that social and geographical boundaries are being melted away – and with it people are experiencing a newfound liberation in how they network trust and feel toward others. Au asserts that Chinese modernity itself is transforming into what it calls a digital agora a new intermediary space between the public and private spheres that balances obligations to both realms. The book offers researchers and students a window into how digitalization is changing how people in guanxi fundamentally think about who to trust how to interact and compose themselves and what it takes to socially survive in a rapidly advancing age of digitalization. | Chinese Social Networks in an Age of Digitalization Liquid Guanxi

John Wesley's Political World

John Wesley's Political World

This book employs a global history approach to John Wesley’s (1703–1791) political and social tracts. It stresses the personal element in Wesley’s political thought focusing on the twin themes of ‘liberty and loyalty’. Wesley’s political writings reflect on the impact of global conflicts on Britain and provide insight into the political responses of the broader religious world of the eighteenth century. They cover such topics as the nature and origin of political power economy taxes trade opposition to slavery and to smuggling British rule in Ireland relaxation of anti-Catholic Acts and the American Revolution. Glen O’Brien argues that Wesley’s political foundations were less theological than they were social and personal. Political engagement was exercised as part of a social contract held together by a compact of trust. The book contributes to eighteenth-century religious history and to Wesley Studies in particular through a fresh engagement with primary sources and recent secondary literature in order to place Wesley’s writings in their global political context. | John Wesley's Political World
