Governing Misinformation in Everyday Knowledge Commons

Governing Misinformation in Everyday Knowledge Commons

Madelyn R. Sanfilippo; Melissa G. Ocepek

Cambridge University Press

Governing Misinformation in Everyday Knowledge Commons delves into the complex issue of misinformation in our daily lives. The book synthesizes three scholarly traditions - everyday life, misinformation, and governing knowledge commons - to present 10 case studies of online and offline communities tackling diverse dilemmas regarding truth and information quality. The book highlights how communities manage issues of credibility, trust, and information quality continuously, to mitigate the impact of misinformation when possible. It also explores how social norms and intentional governance evolve to distinguish between problematic disinformation and little white lies. Through a coproduction of governance and (mis-)information, the book raises a set of ethical, economic, political, social, and technological questions that require systematic study and careful deliberation. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.

Jews and Jewishness in British Children's Literature

Jews and Jewishness in British Children's Literature

Madelyn Travis

TAYLOR FRANCIS LTD
2024
nidottu
In a period of ongoing debate about faith, identity, migration and culture, this timely study explores the often politicised nature of constructions of one of Britain’s longest standing minority communities. Representations in children’s literature influenced by the impact of the Enlightenment, the Empire, the Holocaust and 9/11 reveal an ongoing concern with establishing, maintaining or problematising the boundaries between Jews and Gentiles. Chapters on gender, refugees, multiculturalism and historical fiction argue that literature for young people demonstrates that the position of Jews in Britain has been ambivalent, and that this ambivalence has persisted to a surprising degree in view of the dramatic socio-cultural changes that have taken place over two centuries.Wide-ranging in scope and interdisciplinary in approach, Jews and Jewishness in British Children’s Literature discusses over one hundred texts ranging from picture books to young adult fiction and realism to fantasy. Madelyn Travis examines rare eighteenth- and nineteenth-century material plus works by authors including Maria Edgeworth, E. Nesbit, Rudyard Kipling, Richmal Crompton, Lynne Reid Banks, Michael Rosen and others. The study also draws on Travis’s previously unpublished interviews with authors including Adele Geras, Eva Ibbotson, Ann Jungman and Judith Kerr.

The Value of Virginia Woolf

The Value of Virginia Woolf

Madelyn Detloff

Cambridge University Press
2016
sidottu
In The Value of Virginia Woolf, Madelyn Detloff explores the writings of Virginia Woolf from her early texts to her challenging and inventive novels. Detloff demonstrates why Woolf has enduring value for our own time, both as a defender of modernist experimentation and as a novelist of innovation and poetic vision who also exhibits moments of intense insight and philosophical depth. A famously enigmatic figure, Woolf's literary works offer different rewards to different readers. The Value of Virginia Woolf examines not only the significance of her most celebrated fiction but the function of time and allegory, natural and urban spaces, voice and language that give Woolf's writings their perennial appeal.

"Come with a wagon to Fargo"... Naomi in 1875 Minnesota receives a mysterious message challenging her to an impossible task. But a long trek across the wilderness of the mid-American prairies may be the only way to save her father, that is, if the message actually is from her father. The stranger who slipped it under her door reminded her of Satan of the biblical book of Job, and she wonders if it is part of the Lord's testing of her and Jacob, the man with whom she's in love. This suspenseful story engages readers through its moving yet historically accurate and detailed description of pioneer life in mid-America, filled with its own tests of survival and hardship, yet lived out in a landscape of awesome beauty. It's a period of change and progress as well, as the story introduces its characters to the new steam threshing machines, telegraph, and railroad. Supported in theme by the Bible's books of Ruth and Job, it is also a story of Christian love and faith, paralleling not only Naomi's story but also that of the Swedish immigrant hired girl, Birgitta. In both, the strength of family ties and loyalty provides a reassuring pathway through the story's well-written narrative to it's final shocking conclusion.
