  • Taylor & Francis Ltd The Psychology of Fake News

    15 in stock

    Book SynopsisThis volume examines the phenomenon of fake news by bringing together leading experts from different fields within psychology and related areas, and explores what has become a prominent feature of public discourse since the first Brexit referendum and the 2016 US election campaign. Dealing with misinformation is important in many areas of daily life, including politics, the marketplace, health communication, journalism, education, and science. In a general climate where facts and misinformation blur, and are intentionally blurred, this book asks what determines whether people accept and share (mis)information, and what can be done to counter misinformation? All three of these aspects need to be understood in the context of online social networks, which have fundamentally changed the way information is produced, consumed, and transmitted. The contributions within this volume summarize the most up-to-date empirical findings, theories, and applications and discussTrade Review"This volume provides a great entry point into the vast and growing psychological literature on one of the defining problems of the early 21st century – fake news and its dissemination. The chapters by leading scientists first focus on how (false) information spreads online and then examine the cognitive processes involved in accepting and sharing (false) information. The volume concludes by reviewing some of the available countermeasures. Anyone new to this area will find much here to satisfy their curiosity." - Stephan Lewandowsky, Cognitive Science, University of Bristol, UK"Fake news is a serious problem for politics, for science, for journalism, for consumers, and, really, for all of us. We now live in a world where fact and fiction are intentionally blurred by people who hope to deceive us. In this tremendous collection, four scientists have gathered together some of the finest minds to help us understand the problem, and to guide our thinking about what can be done about it. What’s New and True about Fake News is an important and inspirational contribution to one of society’s most vexing problem." - Elizabeth F Loftus, Distinguished Professor, University of California, Irvine, USA"This is an interesting, innovative and important book on a very significant social issue. Fake news have been the focus of intense public debate in recent years, but a proper scientific analysis of this phenomenon has been sorely lacking. Contributors to this excellent volume are world-class researchers who offer a detailed analysis of the psychological processes involved in the production, dissemination, interpretation, sharing, and acceptance of fake news. This book should be essential reading to anyone interested on public affairs, and especially to students, researchers, applied professionals in the social sciences." - Joseph P Forgas, Scientia Professor, University of New South Wales, Sydney, Australia"This volume provides a great entry point into the vast and growing psychological literature on one of the defining problems of the early 21st century – fake news and its dissemination.

    15 in stock

    Book SynopsisPhantom Limbs and Body Integrity Identity Disorder discusses the conditions of Phantom Limb Syndrome and Body Integrity Identity Disorder together for the first time, exploring examples from literature, film, and psychoanalysis to re-ground theories of the body in material experience.The book outlines the ways in which PLS and BIID involve a feeling of rupture underlined by a desire for wholeness, using the metaphor of the mirror-box (a therapeutic device that alleviates phantom limb pain) to examine how fiction is fundamentally linked to our physical and psychical realities. Using diverse examples from theoretical and fictional works, including thinkers such as Sigmund Freud, Jacques Lacan, Maurice Blanchot, D.W. Winnicott, and Georges Perec, and films by Powell and Pressburger and Quentin Tarantino, each chapter offers a detailed exploration of the mind/body relationship and experiences of fragmentation, bodily ownership, and symbolic reconstitution. By tracTrade Review"What is going on when a person endures the agony of a phantom limb, or longs to have a physically healthy limb amputated? In both these conditions there is ‘a dissonance between subjective and objective senses of self’. But with the mirror-box cure for phantom-limb sensations, we move from medicine to something in which illusion is activated, something more like psychoanalysis or literature. In a series of sparkling and searching analyses, Monika Loewy weaves through online chat-groups, films, theory and fiction, with especially brilliant readings of Lacan, Winnicott and Perec, to show how psychosomatic fissure can be transformed into ‘a way of coming to terms with what is not there". – Professor Naomi Segal, Birkbeck, University of London, Department of Cultures and Languages"The fascinating claim at the heart of this original and ambitious book is that fiction and illusion are woven into the texture of our physical and psychic reality. Loewy’s eye ranges over a broad and intriguing variety of discourses and texts, including patient memoirs, experimental psychology, neurology, novels and films, as well as psychoanalytic theory. She marshals this array of materials with skill and insight, resulting in a provocative and persuasive study of the psychic and cultural meanings of limb disorders." – Professor Josh Cohen, Goldsmiths University of London and British Psychoanalytical Society"The major strength of this book is its unique focus on the relationship between BIID and PLS. I am not aware of another book that examines these two phenomena comparatively, at least not in the way that involves an intertextual methodology. What makes the book distinctive apart from its topical focus, is its methodology. I agree with the author’s contention that too often BIID and PLS are viewed strictly through a medical/psychological lens and thus miss other avenues of cure and exploration. The topical focus on BIID and PLS makes this book a unique and essential resource. I believe it will feed increasing interest in reading psychoanalytic writing on the body alongside literature, film, and particular case studies. It will make an interesting and important contribution to the field, not only original in topical focus, but showcasing a unique intertextual method. I also support the mandate of bringing psychoanalysis to cultural studies, and literature/cultural studies to psychoanalysis which this book does beautifully." – Sheila L. Cavanagh, PhD, Sociology Professor at York University, Toronto, Canada"Monika Lowey has written a fascinating book on the links between fantasies about the body and its limbs, and the language with which to describe it. Seemingly about a very particular disorder, Body Integrity Identity Disorder, the volume invites us to question our perception of who we are, our human identities, and our anxieties. The book guides the reader through a maze of case studies, making haunting connections between pain, literary works and psychoanalytical interpretations. Unmissable.’ – Agnieszka Piotrowska, PhD, director of Married to the Eiffel Tower and author of The Nasty Woman and The Neo Femme Fatale in Contemporary Cinema"What is going on when a person endures the agony of a phantom limb, or longs to have a physically healthy limb amputated?
