Facebook Democracy The Architecture of Disclosure and the Threat to Public Life

Facebook Democracy The Architecture of Disclosure and the Threat to Public Life
José Marichal, "Facebook Democracy: The Architecture of Disclosure and the Threat to Public Life "
English | ISBN: 1409444309 | 2012 | 200 pages | AZW3 | 393 KB
In July 2010, Facebook had over 500 million subscribers worldwide and the rapid rise of the site prompted Time magazine to name Facebook's founder Mark Zuckerberg its person of the year for 2010. This novel book advances our understanding of how democratic citizens are transformed by the "Facebook revolution". Despite increasing interest in politics and popular media, there has been little academic work on the impact of Facebook on politics in general, and on democratic processes in particular. The work that does exist has been limited to Facebook's impact on politics as a mobilization tool used by social movement activists. In this book, José Marichal argues that understanding Facebook's impact on political processes requires an understanding of how Facebook's architecture of disclosure shapes the construction of individuals' political identities by drawing users further into their pre-selected social networks. Drawing on a number of disciplines and an ethnographic analysis of 250 Facebook political groups, Marichal explores how Facebook's emphasis on social connection impacts key dimensions of political participation: e.g., mobilization, deliberation, and attitude formation.

Explaining Social Behavior More Nuts and Bolts for the Social Sciences, 2nd Edition

Explaining Social Behavior More Nuts and Bolts for the Social Sciences, 2nd Edition
Explaining Social Behavior: More Nuts and Bolts for the Social Sciences, 2nd Edition by Jon Elster
English | July 30, 2015 | ISBN: 1107071186, 1107416418 | True EPUB | In this new edition of his critically acclaimed book, Jon Elster examines the nature of social behavior, proposing choice as the central concept of the social sciences.
Extensively revised throughout, the book offers an overview of key explanatory mechanisms, drawing on many case studies and experiments to explore the nature of explanation in the social sciences; an analysis of the mental states - beliefs, desires, and emotions - that are precursors to action; a systematic comparison of rational-choice models of behavior with alternative accounts, and a review of mechanisms of social interaction ranging from strategic behavior to collective decision making. A wholly new chapter includes an exploration of classical moralists and Proust in charting mental mechanisms operating 'behind the back' of the agent, and a new conclusion points to the pitfalls and fallacies in current ways of doing social science, proposing guidelines for more modest and more robust procedures.516 pages | 2.4 MB
