        Framing

        The social art of influence

        by Mikael Klintman

        A smart, incisive toolkit for understanding how the framing of information influences the way we think about it. In today's chaotic media landscape, working out who and what to believe is a daunting task. Lies and misinformation are only part of the problem - often the way a story is presented has just as much effect on us as what the story is. In Framing, sociologist Mikael Klintman offers a cutting-edge toolkit for exposing and analysing the rhetoric that saturates our everyday lives. Combining insights from the social sciences, economics and evolutionary biology, he lays out a four-part approach to understanding how information is 'framed' for us, built around the key elements of texture, temperature, position and size. Demonstrating this approach through an array of real-world examples, from climate change denial to the subtle messaging of caviar ads, Klintman reveals how canny communicators mislead us without relying on overt deception. At the same time, he probes the deeper evolutionary and cultural roots of our susceptibility to frames.

        Roman

        by Friedrich von Borries

        Vier junge Menschen kämpfen in New York gegen die Allgegenwart der Überwachung, gegen den Anfang vom Ende unserer Freiheit. Immer tiefer verirren sie sich in einem Spiegelkabinett aus Virtualität, Fiktion und Realität. Am Ende stehen drei Tote – und eine Entscheidung. New York. Zehn Jahre nach den Anschlägen vom 11. September 2001 hat die Stadt zur Normalität zurückgefunden, ein neues World Trade Center entsteht – das 1WTC. Tom, ein ehemaliger Mitarbeiter des US-Militärgeheimdiensts, entwirft das Fundament des Gebäudes. Seine Freundin Jennifer, eine Galeristin, lernt in der Bibliothek den deutschen Künstler Mikael Mikael kennen, der sie für sein Filmprojekt engagiert: Zusammen mit der geheimnisvollen Hackerin Asanta dokumentieren sie die allgegenwärtige Überwachung in der Stadt. Als Tom einen mysteriösen Auftrag von seinen ehemaligen Vorgesetzten erhält, beginnt die Grenze zwischen Simulation und Wirklichkeit zu verschwimmen. Am Ende stehen drei Tote – und eine Entscheidung.

        Spät am Tag

        Roman | Wenn die Zeit vergeht – und die Liebe bleibt

        by Kristin Vego, Hannes Langendörfer

        Eine Geschichte wie ein Spaziergang an einem lauen Sommerabend – still, klar, voller Gefühl Johanne ist Anfang dreißig, Schriftstellerin und auf der Suche nach Ruhe. Als sie ein Zimmer in einem weißen Haus auf dem Land mietet, ahnt sie nicht, dass ihr Leben dort eine neue Richtung nehmen wird. Schleichend entwickelt sich eine Beziehung zu Mikael, dem Mann, der dort lebt – eine Liebe, die sie über Jahre begleiten wird. Mit ihm kommen nicht nur seine Ex-Frau und seine Tochter in ihr Leben, sondern auch die karge, windgepeitschte Landschaft, die bald ihr Zuhause wird. Siebzehn Jahre später sitzt Johanne allein in diesem Haus. Während der Herbst in den Winter übergeht, beginnt sie, ihre Geschichte aufzuschreiben – eine Geschichte von Liebe und Verlust, vom Vergehen der Zeit und von den unsichtbaren Fäden, die uns mit Menschen und Orten verbinden. Mit leiser Intensität und poetischer Präzision erkundet Spät am Tag die Rhythmen des Lebens – die Angst vor dem Verlust und die Schönheit des Augenblicks.

        World Bank Group interactions with environmentalists

        Changing international organisation identities

        by Susan Park, Mikael Anderssen, Duncan Liefferink

        This book shows how environmentalists have shaped the world's largest multilateral development lender, investment financier and political risk insurer to take up sustainable development. The book challenges an emerging consensus over international organisational change to argue that international organisations (IOs) are influenced by their social structure and may change their practices to reflect previously antithetical norms such as sustainable development. This important text locates sources of organisational change with environmentalists, thus demonstrating the ways in which non-state actors can effect change within large intergovernmental organisations through socialisation. It combines a theoretically sophisticated account of international organisation change with detailed empirical evidence of change in one issue area across three institutions. The book will be of interest to academics, postgraduate and upper undergraduate students in international relations, international political economy, environmental politics, development and globalisation studies and geography as well as policy makers, international bureaucrats and development practitioners. ;

        Bounded rationality in decision-making

        How cognitive shortcuts and professional values may interfere with market-based regulation

        by Helle Nielsen, Mikael Anderssen, Duncan Liefferink

        Challenging standard economic models, this book shows how farmers tend to use cognitive shortcuts in their decision-making and how their professional pride frequently outweighs profit considerations. This indicates that environmental regulation based on economic incentives may not be as effective as economic theorists and ex ante policy analysts maintain. Rather than assuming that regulations respond to incentive-based policies, this book examines the ways in which they do. Bounded rationality in decision-making has typically been studied in a laboratory setting, but this book uses original empirical research to demonstrate how bounded rationality plays out in the real world, examining the responses of Danish farmers to fertiliser regulation and their decision-making processes. The book will be of interest to a broad range of scholars within the fields of public policy, public administration, political science, behavioural economics and sociology. ;
