Expert political judgment : how good is it ? How can we know ?
\"The intelligence failures surrounding the invasion of Iraq dramatically illustrate the necessity of developing standards for evaluating expert opinion. This book fills that need. Here, Philip E. Tetlock explores what constitutes good judgment in predicting future events, and looks at why experts are often wrong in their forecasts.\" \"Tetlock first discusses arguments about whether the world is too complex for people to find the tools to understand political phenomena, let alone predict the future. He evaluates predictions from experts in different fields, comparing them to predictions by well-informed laity or those based on simple extrapolation from current trends. He goes on to analyze which styles of thinking are more successful in forecasting.\"--Jacket.
Imágenes e ideología. Una relación sintomática
La ideología no es solo un discurso que nos separa del mundo, sino que alude también a la representación imaginaria que hacemos de nuestras condiciones reales de existencia. Por ello, las imágenes tangibles se vuelven un campo fértil para el estudio de los mecanismos y los dispositivos de subjetivación y control social. Este texto recupera la teoría de la ideología de Althusser y profundiza en el papel de las imágenes en la construcción de sujetos y subjetividades, a la vez que explora su especificidad operativa. Esta propuesta considera la historia del arte un ámbito privilegiado para el conocimiento crítico y parte de la premisa de que las imágenes tangibles son “trabajos inventivos” que hemos creado y que, a su vez, nos crean.

Ideology, rhetoric, aesthetics : for De Man
\"This volume explicates Paul de Man's late project of a critique of aesthetic ideology and attempts to extend it in ways productive for critical thought. After a reading of de Man's work in all its rigour - and hence also the aesthetic theory of Kant, Schiller, and Hegel- the book goes on to uncover a 'material moment' in Hegel's Phenomenology of Spirit that lives on in Marx and in the Marxist tradition. The book also elucidates de Man's critical reading of Heidegger on the example of Hölderlin--a moment essential for de Man's shifts to the question of rhetoric and then to the question of ideology--and ends with a reading of Derrida's 'last' text on de Man and its uncanny self-inscription in Rousseau's episode of the stolen ribbon. Key Features: Rigorous explications of Paul de Man's late work on aesthetic ideology and the political ; New readings of Kant, Schiller, and Hegel that extend de Man's project ; Demonstrates how a certain already 'Marxian' self-undoing of Hegelian dialectics leaves traces in Kojève and in Marxists like Lukács and Jameson ; Presents accounts of disagreements and altercations between de Man and Heidegger and de Man and Derrida.\"--Publisher's website.

The Paranoid Style in American Politics Revisited: An Ideological Asymmetry in Conspiratorial Thinking
It is often claimed that conspiracy theories are endorsed with the same level of intensity across the left-right ideological spectrum. But do liberals and conservatives in the United States embrace conspiratorial thinking to an equivalent degree? There are important historical, philosophical, and scientific reasons dating back to Richard Hofstadter's book The Paranoid Style in American Politics to doubt this claim. In four large studies of U.S. adults (total N = 5049)—including national samples—we investigated the relationship between political ideology, measured in both symbolic and operational terms, and conspiratorial thinking in general. Results reveal that conservatives in the United States were not only more likely than liberals to endorse specific conspiracy theories, but they were also more likely to espouse conspiratorial worldviews in general (r = .27, 95% CI: .24, .30). Importantly, extreme conservatives were significantly more likely to engage in conspiratorial thinking than extreme liberals (Hedges' g = .77, SE = .07, p < .001). The relationship between ideology and conspiratorial thinking was mediated by a strong distrust of officialdom and paranoid ideation, both of which were higher among conservatives, consistent with Hofstadter's account of the paranoid style in American politics.

Organized chronologically, this text examines each ideology within a political, historical, economic, and social context.

Deux romans au féminin: vers un nouveau modèle philosophique pour l'amour
Deux héroïnes, Laure dans L'un vers l'autre par Louise M. Compain et Josanne dans La rebelle par Marcelle Tinayre, méritent une analyse particulière. Elles exhibent un certain conservatisme qu'observent Diana Holmes et Mélanie Collado, renonçant à une carrière professionnelle pour rentrer au foyer. Dans cette étude, j'affirme la valeur féministe de ces textes en soutenant que les héroïnes créent un ménage plus égalitaire. Je propose aussi une mise en lumière du nouveau modèle que représentent les deux romans. C'est un modèle qui privilégie un amour réciproque et l'autonomie de l'amant.

Ideological Representations of Political Discourse in the Arabic and Anglophone Media Outlets
The study examines the assumptions that the media's linguistic choices and group polarisation are largely ideological, conditioned by the respective outlets' ideological positions. Such media manipulation and polarisation produce greatly varying representations and labelling of the rival groups, in the particular case of this thesis, the warring factions in the Libyan Civil War. and it is this which in turn produces a variety of representations of the same incident and groups. The study applies the analytical model of the ideological square of Critical Discourse Analysis as this model provides scope to identify ideological discursive moves and strategies for analysis of the salient Ideological Key Terms. In this study, the particular incident on the ground is considered as a source text, while the media representation and reporting on the incident and people are seen as a target text. This study, accordingly, attempts to demonstrate as systematically as possible how the media outlets as translators of the Libyan Civil War of 2014 manipulate the representation of the incident so as to suit and correspond to the policies and the controlling vision of the financiers and/or owners. Furthermore, it aims to demonstrate the reason behind these biased and ideologically laden media representations, which have worked against the stability of Libya and serve to fuel and agitate conflict, thereby causing enduring chaos and the collapse of the state and resulting in proxy wars that have been aggravated both by the actions of international outsiders and by intensive and polarised media propaganda.
