The Patina of Distrust: What People Do with Misinformation
by Pablo J. Boczkowski Eugenia Mitchelstein Maria Celeste Wagner Facundo SuenzoThe dynamics of news reception during the 2019 Argentine elections, and how distrust of the media can protect audiences from both misinformation and attempts to correct it.The year 2016 marked a profound turning point in global politics. In June, the United Kingdom voted in favor of Brexit, choosing to leave the European Union. Just five months later, the United States elected Donald Trump as its president. In the wake of these momentous events, a prevailing narrative emerged, which focused on the role of misinformation in reshaping political landscapes. However, a critical aspect of this phenomenon remained unexplored—the dynamics of reception.In The Patina of Distrust, Eugenia Mitchelstein, Pablo Boczkowski, María Celeste Wagner, and Facundo Suenzo dive deep into this overlooked facet by zeroing in on the reception of misinformation.Central to the book is the development of the concept of &“patina of distrust.&” Much like the protective layer that accumulates over time on artworks, this societal patina serves as a buffer, shielding audiences to some extent from the harmful effects of misinformation and the attempts to rectify it. This book offers a historically grounded mixed methods study of news reception in Argentina&’s 2019 presidential election, drawing from interviews, survey data, and experiments. The authors also include a coda that addresses the pandemic and the election of current Argentine president Javier Milei in 2023, bringing the analysis up to date with the current right-wing populist moment.

Wings over Malayan Jungle: No 1 Squadron (RAAF) Lincoln Bombers in the Malayan Emergency
by David Mitchelhill-GreenAustralian service personnel played a significant role in four Cold War conflicts throughout the 20th century, yet the Malayan Emergency remains one of the least recognised. This pivotal chapter in history tells the story of the Royal Australian Air Force&’s No. 1 (B) Squadron during its deployment from 1951 to 1958—an arduous, often frustrating deployment that deserves high praise. The Emergency stands as a remarkable success in the broader fight against Cold War Communist expansion, and Australia&’s contribution, particularly through its air operations, was instrumental in securing victory. As a contemporary RAAF review put it, this was a &‘different war,&’ one where Lincoln bombers flew &‘through mist-swathed valleys and below rugged mountains,&’ engaging the battle both above the dense jungles and within them. Wing Over Malayan Jungle seeks to document and preserve this crucial chapter of Air Force history, ensuring the valour and strategic impact of Australia&’s role in the conflict are not forgotten.

Unbearable: Five Women and the Perils of Pregnancy in America
by Irin CarmonFrom the award-winning New York magazine reporter and coauthor of the New York Times bestseller Notorious RBG, an ambitious and passionate exploration of what&’s gone wrong with pregnancy in America, through the lens of history, politics, and the searing experiences of five women. Journalist Irin Carmon was eight months pregnant when the Supreme Court allowed states to ban abortion, unleashing pain and suffering for those who didn&’t want to be pregnant and, shockingly to some, those who did. What was clear to Carmon from her dozen years of reporting—and from what she felt in her bones—was how incomplete the American story of reproduction had been, and how much had been unexpressed, hidden, or taken for granted, and not just by conservative justices or in red states. Whether in cosmopolitan, liberal New York City or rural Alabama, the entire system is broken. Unbearable tells a deeper story, going beyond the headlines and any one experience or choice, and grounded in history and journalism. It introduces us to five women navigating pregnancy care—from that first positive pregnancy test through joy, loss, and the unforeseen—in a country that is at best indifferent and at worst willfully cruel, and to brave, outnumbered people fighting to make it better. Written with deep empathy and analytical rigor, Unbearable is at once a moving story of interconnection, a harrowing exposé, and assertion of humanity. Above all, it is a powerful call for solidarity, regardless of our circumstances or our decisions.
Multiculturalism in Contemporary British South Asian Fiction: Home, Belonging, and Cultural Negotiation
by Anas Galet AlhaisonyThis book explores the multifaceted themes of home, belonging, and multiculturalism in contemporary British South Asian fiction. Through detailed literary analysis of novels by authors such as Nadeem Aslam, Gautam Malkani, and Kamila Shamsie, this work delves into how these narratives reflect and interrogate the complex interplay of race, class, and identity in the context of modern Britain. Drawing on theoretical frameworks from cultural studies and postcolonial theory, the project examines the role of literature in shaping public perceptions of multicultural identities and provides new insights into how British South Asian literature responds to and reshapes contemporary socio-political events like Brexit and the 2011 England riots. This study aims to offer a critical re-evaluation of the concept of multiculturalism, moving beyond traditional discussions of diaspora and hybridity to explore more nuanced interpretations of cultural integration and identity formation.
Ökonomische versus strukturelle Rationalität im Kooperationsdilemma: Eine Untersuchung der epistemischen Bedingungen der strukturellen Rationalität in Kooperationssituationen der Spieltheorie
by Anna-Vanadis FaixIn diesem Open-Access-Buch wird das grundlegende Problem der Kooperation innerhalb der Rational-Choice-Theorie diskutiert. Ausgehend vom Gefangenendilemma analysiert die Autorin verschiedene theoretische Ansätze zur Erklärung rationaler Kooperation, darunter utilitaristische, evolutionäre und kollektivistische Modelle. Im Zentrum steht die strukturelle Rationalität nach Julian Nida-Rümelin, die gestärkt und um eine epistemische Dimension erweitert wird. Ziel ist es, ein plausibles Konzept kooperativen Handelns jenseits konsequentialistischer Reduktionen zu entwickeln, das sowohl philosophisch fundiert als auch praktisch anschlussfähig ist. Die Arbeit zeigt, dass Kooperation keineswegs irrational sein muss, sondern eine vernünftige Grundlage im Rahmen struktureller Rationalität haben kann.
